I don’t like cilantro or hot peppers how do I take them off my menus
Hi, Sherrie1969. They are just seasonings – you can leave them out or substitute with a different seasoning.
Is the sliced avocado a whole avacado?
Hi, Sheshe2. The recipe calls for a whole avocado. Each serving contains 1/2 of an avocado.
Protein content? Fat content? Carb content?
Recipes that don’t include Calorie, Protein, Carb, and Fat content aren’t helpful when trying to trim down. Why wouldn’t a recipe posted on a dietary web page not include this information? Seems a little counter productive.
Hi, Kanamu. Most of our recipes do have that information – this one will be updated soon. Note that we recommend 8 ounces of undrained tuna in olive or canola oil, rather than 15 ounces in vegetable oil or water. The nutrition information per serving will then be as follows:
522 calories, 39 grams fat, 32 grams protein, 7 grams carbohydrate
What are the calories for this recipe?
Hi, bosciam. About 605 calories.
Can cucumbers be added?
Hi, Naizac. Absolutely! That’s a great idea. Cucumbers are low enough in carbohydrate and protein that it won’t affect the keto-supportive balance here.
Can this be made with Fresh Tuna instead of canned? If so, is the amount the same?
Hi, Jody912. Yes, the amount is the same, but be sure to add another 3 tablespoons of olive oil or another whole avocado.
