Dinner
The Nutrisystem diet allows you to eat the foods you order from its plan as well as foods bought from the grocery store to incorporate into your diet. Grocery items you can eat with the Nutrisystem plan include fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products. Items from the Nutrisystem dinner checklist include pastas, such as chicken pasta with parmesan, cheese ravioli or macaroni and cheese; soups and stews, including chili or chicken tortilla soup; and meat and vegetable entrees, including sweet and sour chicken, beef stroganoff or meatloaf with mashed potatoes.
Desserts and Snacks
Nutrisystem states that it promotes weight loss by providing foods with a low glycemic index to stabilize the blood-sugar level. According to Florida State University, the glycemic index shows how quickly food is absorbed into the bloodstream and used by the body's cells. Foods with a low glycemic index are absorbed more slowly so your energy lasts longer and you are not hungry again right away. Nutrisystem provides snacks as part of its food checklist, including crackers and snack mixes as well as desserts such as cookies, chocolate bars, brownies and pound cake. Choose one dessert or snack each day as part of the eating plan.
