I have almond flour is that the same as almond meal/flour?
Hi, dsugar904. Almond flour is made by grinding skinless almonds, while almond meal is made with the skins still one. It will definitely do.
Hi are there any recipes that don’t contain almond or not products as I am allergic to them?
Hi, Afrilisha. Most of our recipes don’t contain almonds – no worries. For those that do (such as this one), you can substitute ffor th em with other nuts or with seeds. In this recipe, for example, you can use freshly ground flax seeds.
so for breakfast, you eat two of these patties and nothing else?
Hi, Linda. Definitely more 🙂 This recipe just offers 2 protein exchanges, and you should also have some fruit and a starchy carbohydrate food with it. To see what you are allotted, click on “Exchange mode” in the toolbar above your menu.
I hope this isn’t an exercise plan i don’t do that due to many health problems
Hi, chicoman. This is primarily a nutrition plan. However, we do encourage some physical activity, especially for people like you (with physician supervision, of course). Can you describe your particular problems? I would be happy to suggest some options.

Lower back and sciatica pain, but I just joined a gym mostly for pool exercise at least for awhile

Can i use regular flour?
Hi, Garfield. Definitely.
I am so excited to get started !! (And see results) yea!!

Once cooked and cooled, I freeze them into individual servings of two.
Will make these patties,but would rather bake them.What temperature and for how long?
Hi, NicoleCostello – we have added that information (about 15 minutes on each side at 375F or 190C).
What can you use instead of almond flour as I am allergic to tree nuts?
Hi, Darlynebs. Any regular or gluten-free flour will do, including sunflower or pumpkin seed flour.
Great recipes x
This recipe for sausage sounds real good and even possible for me to make! I don’t like sausage at all but I might be able to eat it with it being made with turkey and knowing all the ingredients!
