          Hi Ossie-Sharon. I ended up using all of a 10 oz bag of fresh spinach, which measure out to just over 5 cups loosely packed. But doing that conversion means I probably needed 2 bags? Am I short on my vegetables for lunch today? Also, the recipe was awesome even with only 1 bag of spinach. I sautéed it in a little olive oil along with the onions and a small garlic clove. Then I used pumpkin seeds on top as I had no pine nuts. Very lovely lunch. Thanks for making these meals so simple and tasty.

        Hi, Theodros11. Our recipe collection contains a wide range of options, including some that are non-dairy. You can use the search function on the Recipes main page to get more of those in a cluster – type in “dairy-free,” “non-dairy,” “vegan,” etc.

        To ensure getting a non-dairy menu every time, click on “Non-Dairy” in the “Dietary Needs” area of your profile (lower right area). I see that your current menu is already almost completely free of dairy, other than some cottage cheese in the Sunday menu – which you can swap for something else by clicking on it and selecting a non-dairy alternative from the pop-up list.

        Hi, ethoss. Of course! Just note that to meet the nutritional value calculated for you here (using this recipe as an example), you would need the following sizes and sides:
        1 egg, cooked in at least a teaspoon of olive oil
        2 slices of bacon
        1 cup of a low-carbohydrate vegetable like spinach
        1/4 cup heavy cream (for the egg or your morning beverage)
        A high-fat side like avocado (1/4 cup), cheese (1 ounce), or nuts (2 tablespoons) – or if you’re not sensitive to cholesterol, a second egg + teaspoon of oil
