I get a lot of emails asking about the Nutrisystem desserts.  Of those, many questions are about the cookies.  People want to know how they taste, what flavors taste the best, how many choices are available, and how many calories and carbohydrates they contain. I will address these things, as well as tell you which are my favorites and which taste the best (in my opinion), in the following article.

Nutrisystem’s Chocolate Chip Cookies:  OK, so this isn’t very original.  There are tons to chose from and yet my favorite is this boring standby.  I like these because of the chocolate chips and because the texture is nice and chewy.  This one has 60 calories from fat and 13 grams of carbs.

White Chocolate Chunk:  Do you see a theme here yet? Maybe chocolate?  So this cookie has white chocolate, but it’s still very good.  And it also has hazelnuts which gives it more depth.

When people write to me asking for information about the “Nutrisystem products,” few seem to realize that there are so many choices available. There are several options for both men and women. And there are several specialty or deluxe options too. I will discuss the many choices that you have on this diet in the following article.

Nutrisystem Products For Women: With in the women’s category, you can chose from several packages. There is the basic women’s (which I believe is the most popular.) This diet runs around 9 per month (but there are always coupons) and has you eating five times per day. You will eat three meals and a snack plus a dessert. You are eating the food that the company provides, although you are asked to add in healthful, fresh sides.

There is also a vegetarian option (it’s the same idea as the basic plan but the foods are only made up of meatless options like veggie lasagna, veggie fajitas, etc.) Additionally, there is what is called “silver” for women over sixty.

The other day, I received an email from a reader who wanted for me to break down all of the costs associated with nutrisystem for her so that she might know exactly how much she would be spending for everything. She was comparing this diet to others like Jenny Craig, Medifast, and Weight Watchers, so she wanted to know what she’d be spending on food, membership fees, groceries, counseling, etc. I’ll give you a break down of costs in the following article.

The Food Is The Main Cost With Nutrisystem: Basically, you’re just going to be spending money on food and there are many ways to order this. The cheapest way, if you are figuring out your cost per meal or item, is a monthly package. Since the writer was a woman and did not mention any health issues (like diabetes) or special omissions (like being a vegetarian) I’m going to use the women’s basic as an example for this article.
