Just to confirm so Tofu is keto supportive?
Hi, Keenlee. The full fat type of tofu is keto-supportive.
Are there videos for all these meal preps?
Hi, Iamcrews. Not yet. I have forwarded the interest to the tech development team.
Would it really screw things up if i used vegetable oil or olive oil/sunflower oil substitute? I can’t afford real olive oil and right now i have vegetable oil. Actually, maybe i’ll use 1tbsp oil and cooking spray to sub. that should work.
Hi, Kristinopedia. You can use a different oil for now – good choices would be canola and high-oleic sunflower/safflower. The challenge with the spray is that it will reduce the fat content, making the recipe non-keto.
What are capers and can I substitute this ingredient?
Hi, Mzgee. Capers are pickled flower buds. You don’t need to use them – they just add a bit of a mustardy flavor. You can add a touch of mustard as a substitute.
Can I substitute eggs for something else? I am not a egg lover.
Hi, Lexloyd. Tofu makes an excellent substitute for eggs in a scramble and “salad.”
when reading the ingredients, I noticed there is a yellow pepper and shallot used, but these did not show up on my grocery list.
Hi, Sue. I am forwarding this issue to the tech support team. Thanks so much for the heads-up.
The shallots did, but it just said bell peppers. It didn’t specify color.
I love this recipe. Was so ?
Good advice thank you
This isn’t going to work. I have too many food allergies.
Hi, ebriening. You can fully personalize your menu, so that you can select the foods that work for you, while avoiding the ones that don’t. To do this, following these steps:
1. Deselect the keto option in your profile (lower right area).
2. Return to the menu area, and click on the “New Menu” icon in the toolbar above your menu – you will then see a set-up with three main meals + three snacks.
3. Click on the circular arrow icon to the far right of each meal header, and begin selecting foods that suit you, making the following substitutions for keto:
– 2 fat exchanges instead of each carbohydrate exchange
– 1 non-starchy vegetable exchange instead of each fruit exchange; if you like fruit, you can select a low-carbohydrate option like raspberries, strawberries, cantaloupe, or casaba melon
– for the “sweet” exchange, opt for something low-carbohydrate and high-fat like dark chocolate (at least 70% cacao) or something from our recipes (a 125-calorie portion)
If you have any questions, please do repost here, and I will get back to you.
Was quite tasty
