590 cal. How many servings is that?
Hi, Lynette1954. That’s for a single serving.
I’m allergic to limes, what can I use as a replacement for the lime juice ?
Hi, Tanya. You can use lemon juice instead, but if that is too close to lime, try a little black pepper.
I just joined and am confused. Are all your recipes Keto or are just the ones under “Keto” heading. I really want to stay in ketosis.
Hi, Wachmen. Just the ones labeled “keto” or that are noted to be “keto-friendly” in the description – both will come up if you type “keto” in the search box of the RECIPES section.
THE SERVING ON TOP OF RECIPE SAYS ONE BUT THE ENDING RECIPE SAYS 1/2 CUP SERVING. CONFUSED
Hi, debsketo. I’m not sure what that bottom information was, sorry. It’s gone now.
If this is a Keto recipe where are the nutrient values for fat, Carb and protein??
I do not see these values listed under the keto recipes
Why post exchanges for a keto recipe?
Hi, Anthia. At the end of most recipes you will find the “Exchanges per Serving” – each exchange translates to the following approximate nutritional values:
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
