dude i struggle with the same prob my dad is puerto rican and my mom is African American
My mom is always deep frying chicken and cooking with pork fat, and my dad is always makin arroz con pollo and my grandma is always making bacalao or stew its troublesome but I get past it. If my mom is frying I ask her to bake or broil. If I'm with my father i ask him to go easy on the salt and dont make so much for 3 people.

I think there is a button that you click that gets you off the meal plans, then you can manually enter everything that you eat. thats what i do =)

| you dont have to follow the meal plans. they kinda serve as a guideline, and give ideas for meals.

| Moderation is key. If everything is super unhealthy, try making your own dish, or ask to help prepare the meal(resulting in you making something healthy like a vegetable or something..). Maybe your whole family will get inspired by the dish you made, and they will want to get healthier..? Its worth a shot.

I am Hispanic AMerican. Both my parents were born and raised in the Dominican Republic, they got bought here by there family, and now live here with three kids.
My point is, the meal plans for breakfasts lunch and snack i have control over, the dinner i don't. My mom doesn't care about the rice thing, but my dad does he needs rice usually, the food is usually rice some type of beans and meat weather its cod fish, chicken, beef i have no control over that... and its not on the meal plan. what should i do?
We do cook lower in salt, and fat. My grandmas had diabetes, and we all have a high risk of high blood pressure and diabetes.
We eat healthier, but one thing. DOMINICAN FOOD isn't THAT HEALTHY! What should i do? I cant track my meal plans with the dinner?
