I just joined. Where do i find a shopping list?
Hi, Susie70. Click on the “Grocery List” button above your menu.
Are there tomatoes in the picture? Are they an optional addition?
Hi, taracanfield. You can add 1 medium tomato (2.5 inch diameter or 120 grams), but then you’ll need to use cheddar cheese (as pictured) instead of mozzarella and drizzle with two tablespoons of olive oil to ensure the recipe is keto-supportive. HOWEVER, a serving will then be one-third of the recipe, rather than one-half.
HI 🙂 Is one slice one serving? This looks delicious!!!!! Thank you!!!
Hi, gurudev. No, 4 slices is one serving.
What do exchanges per serving mean? It’s at the end of all the recipes. Do I need to be tracking those? Where do I look for that?

Hi, deediet. An exchange is a building block for a menu that contains an approximate set of nutritional values based on the corresponding food group. The exchange system is used by nutrition groups around the world to make menu planning easy and to ensure that nutritional needs are met. The following are the general nutritional values of each of the exchanges:
1 carb exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 3 grams of protein
1 protein exchange = 7 grams of protein + up to 5 grams of fat
1 fat exchange = 5 grams of fat
1 fruit exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates
1 vegetable exchange = 5 grams of carbohydrates + up to 2 grams of protein
1 sweet exchange = up to 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 5 grams of fat
1 free exchange = up to 5 grams of carbohydrates or up to 2 grams of protein or fat
Our Menu Planner application does the calculations for you here, but you can check out your allottment by clicking on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu, and compare your exchanges to those for servings of our recipes and other foods to fit them into your meals and days as you wish.
I love eggplant, but I have always fried it. So I was a little skeptical of baking it. I was so wrong…This was fantastic, and I will definitely make it again
This dish sounds great; I see where it says 2 servings BUT where is the info on carbs, protein, etc….this is driving me crazy….ho do you know WHAT YOU’RE EATING. HELP
Hi, lizbeth. At the bottom of the recipe are the “Exchanges per Servings.” The approximate nutritional values of exchanges are as follows:
1 carbohydrate exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 3 grams of protein
1 protein exchange = 7 grams of protein + up to 5 grams of fat
1 fat exchange = 5 grams of fat
1 fruit exchange = 15 grams of carbohydrates
1 vegetable exchange = 5 grams of carbohydrates + up to 2 grams of protein
1 sweet exchange = up to 15 grams of carbohydrates + up to 5 grams of fat
1 free exchange = up to 5 grams of carbohydrates or up to 2 grams of protein or fat
This recipe yields per serving about 20 grams of carbohydrates (11 “available”), 18 grams of protein, and 17 grams of fat.
I am going to try this. I will probably substitute low fat ricotta cheese for cream cheese.
It sounds very yummy
