→Food Selections
A Food Type rating of 1, 2, or 3 is shown to the right of each food. As you make your food selections, be sure to select a minimum of three foods per group (except the dairy products category}. All three foods must be Type 1 or Type 2. The module will not proceed unless you select at least one Type 1 or Type 2 food from each food group.
If you fail to do so, the computer displays an error message and returns the cursor to the first entry on the list. You may then change your food selections as necessary. This procedure helps to ensure that the module creates nutritionally balanced menus.
As you choose foods, keep in mind that the fewer foods you choose in any group, the more frequently those foods will appear in your menus. If you like a wide variety of foods in your menus, be sure to select several foods from each group.
To review each food group in the category, press SHIFT [↓] and SHIFT [↑] to display the following or preceding group. Note that SHIFT [↑] cannot be used when the first group of a category is displayed, and SHIFT [↓] cannot be used when the last group is displayed. If the computer beeps when you press SHIFT [↓], you have reached the last food group in that category. The arrow keys cannot be used with the SALADS category, which has only one food group.
''Note:'' Since the foods in the first six food categories are grouped according to their nutritional content, some food groups only contain a few foods, while others contain many.
When you finish your food selections in a category, press '''SHIFT Z''' (BACK} to return to the FOOD CATEGORIES selection list. A check mark appears to the left of the category you just revised. You may now select another food category to review, or you may press '''SHIFT Z''' (BACK} if you have finished making your food selections.
If you press '''SHIFT Z''' (BACK} while the FOOD CATEGORIES list is displayed, the module returns to the display that asks if you want to change your food selections. ('''Note:''' The module automatically returns to this display after you review all six food categories.) If the food selections are correct and you are ready to create menus, press '''N'''.
