can I freeze this?
Hi, Eli. These flatbreads are indeed freezer-friendly.
Hello ,how many slices can we eat per day ? Thank you
Hi, Dado. Each one equals one “carbohydrate” exchange, so you can have as many of these as the number of carbohydrates you are allotted. You can see your allotment by clicking on the “Exchange mode” icon in the toolbar above your menu.
I just tried a recipe for a pale bread made with zucchini, dates, eggs, cinnamon and coconut flour, how would I count this in my trim down diet? I know dates are very sugary, thats why I limit my portion to a very very small slice a day.
Hi, paolaterryart. It depends on the amounts. You can calculate how many exchanges are in your recipe using this guide (http://www.trimdownclub.com/exchanges-lists), and compare them to the exchanges in your menu pattern, which you can see when you click on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your finished menu. If you want, you can post the exact recipe here, and make the calculations as an example.
