        Hi, mmarable. The system appears to consider only red meat to be “meat.” Apologies. To swap out items in your menu, click on the adjacent edit tool, then select an alternative from the pop-up list. If you don’t see something you like, then you can choose something from our keto recipe collection. Note that you can substitute tofu for any chicken or turkey.

        Hi, Mzburton65. The tech team is currently working on an upgrade that will enable that. Meanwhile, you can use any recipe you want for meals, just make sure to right-size the portions so that the calories match what you are allotted.

      I made the casserole last night and doubled the recipe so I could share with my family. There was so much excess butter the recipe called for 4 oz , which is a whole stick of butter and with doubling the recipe it was 2 sticks of butter. Also the slices of swiss cheese on top were melted but stuck together. Any ideas on what I did wrong.

        Hi, Linda. If you leave the skin on the chicken when cooking, you can reduce the butter amount to 2.5 ounces (per 4 chicken thighs) – you can also trade that half ounce for a tablespoon of olive oil, and saute the skin side of the chicken pieces before adding it to the rest of the recipe, so that it would be soggy. As for the cheese, try shredded instead of sliced.

      Delicious! I didn’t have Swiss cheese, so I substituted Provolone and it was still GREAT! I also didn’t have any Worchestershire Sauce, but still DELICIOUS! Every recipe has been great so far. I am questioning if the planned menu’s offer sufficient vegetables, but there are LOTs of substitution options with greens, so I am not worried. And I am losing weight, and super pleased with my macros…perfect as long as I follow the plan! – Steve
