    I got the following from an ex-Jenny Craig rep:

    Approx. 90 grams per day. 1 serve is 15 grms and you aim to have 6 per day (15 x 6 = 90)

    Good choices include:

    Beans & Lentils (3/4 cup)
    Bread (1 slice = 30 grams or two serves)
    Cereal, rice or pasta (1/2 cup)
    Low fat crackers (4)
    Salada (6 squares)
    Roll, English Muffin, pita, bagel (1/2 = 30 grams)
    Starchy veg such as potato, corn, peas, pumpkin (1/2 cup)

    Least favourable choices include:

    Plain cake (5 cm square)
    Sweet biscuits (2 small)
    Crackers (4)
    Museli Bar (35 gms)
    Hummus (1/3 cup)
    Low fat icecream (1/2 cup)
    Pancakes, scone, muffin (1 small, 45 gms)
