who's right ? hexa & hexb

[speccy4eyes]

Me and my mate are following the red and green days plan

every day I have been having either milk or cheese as my hexa and bread or alpen lights as my hexb

depending my red/green days I have either potatoes or peas or meat as my second hexb

my mate now says she has read somewhere that we should be eating 2 hexa a day ( so we could have double milk/cheese or both) not just the one...........I can't find that written in any of my books and everyone else I know is doing EE so they don't know

doing the plan from home so no consultant or class to check with so I am appealing for help
who's right?

ALSO
On a red day ( or green) could I double my hex b on the veg or meat instead of using one on bread or cereal?

thanks in advance

On red or green you get 1 or 2 hxa and 2 hxb, basically meaning you should have 2 Bs but you can choose if you want 1 or 2 As.
As for your second question, if you mean can you have, for example, 2 hxbs of chicken on a green day, yes you can. On green you could even have 4 hxs of cheese! (2a and 2b)

Hope this makes sense!

Yes you can use both your HEbs for the same thing but I wouldn't recommend doing it every day as it's important to get some variety as well

damn.....she was right lol
though it works in my favour when I'm making something meaty or saucy lol

Very clear ladies......
I only wanna do it when I have big meals to make n dont wanna use quorn
I usually use my hex a for cheese as i dont have much milk in my diet, not a big fan cereal (unless its crunchy nut n I syn it) or tea drinker. my hex b is usually wholemeal bread or alpen lights for brekkie but I'd settle for boiled eggs n fruit n use that hexb for double meat or veg on certain days

Extra easy is fab !!! I'm seeing better results x

Thanks - this has been useful! I never knew you could have double HEX on green days! I have been attempting extra easy, but I don't think I am doing it right as I don't always have a 1/3rd superfree with every meal (e.g breakfast etc)

Being able to have double HEX on some days would be fab when I want milk AND cheese, or bread AND ryvita.

Dinners are easy, its breakfast and lunch I struggle with at the moment!
