The count of carbs for the first day is 26. With Keto if you want to lose weight it should be under 20. Please advise
Hi, Aluna167. Everyone needs a different specific gram amount of carbohydrates for the day. The most important factor is the percent of energy, especially in combination with protein and relative to fat. Our program offers the optimal ratios that feature 5-10% of energy as carbohydrate.
Want to lose weight
Hi, swapen. You have come to the right place! If you need assistance with something here, please let us know.
What size muffin tin am I suppose to use and how many does this make? It says serving size is 2 but doesnt specify how many to make? Please help
Hi, My2020goals. A large muffin tin as pictured above will do, preferably 8 cups per tray. A serving would then be 4 bacon-avocado cups.
Ohh thank you! I postponed making them as to have the correct servings
So for breakfast you would eat 4 bacon cups?
The picture shows 6 muffin cups
Hi, Rcarson1262. Whatever number of cups you end up with, one half of this recipe is one serving.
Since this is supposed to be intermittent fasting, when is our first meal of the day and when do we stop eating?
Hi, Tzu1992. You pick the times – whatever works for your schedule. The only thing we would suggest is not to have the meals too close to when you retire for the night.
How do I find my calorie count for the day?
Hi, Mikkieasley. Click on the “Exchange View” button above your menu, then scroll to the bottom of the menu page.
How many should I eat for breakfast?
Hi, kaylazachery92. That depends on how many you make, and if you make the whole recipe. If you do make it all according to the above ingredient amounts, then you would have halve of whatever you make.
Can you leave out the jalapenos. I am unable to eat spicy foods due to acid reflux?
Hi, KimberlyRoss. Of course.
I feel as though one Bacon avocado cup Wouldn’t to fill me. What should I do if I’m still hungry after eating it?
Hi, Nikkiaudain. These are rather rich, but if you want more volume, it is recommended that you drink something before or with the meal – water, tea, coffee – and you can add a lettuce+cucumber+celery salad with lemon juice to the meal.
You can also try drinking flavored seltzer water, I find the bubbles in the drink make the meals feel more filling!
Isn’t this a little high on carbs for Keto?
Hi, NovGirl. What makes an item or menu keto-supportive is if it has the same or more grams of fat compared to the combination of carbohydrate+protein. Since this recipe has nearly twice the amount of fat than carbohydrate+protein, it is keto.
I am confused, I thought keto diet is low carb, most all the keto recipes have 15-25 carbs, breakfast lunch and dinner, that 45-75 carbs a day. What’s the deal ?
Hi, Beej1. The recipes tend to include a little produce, which is critical for health – the carbohydrates are from that. 45-75 grams a day is 1/4 or less of a typical low-carbohydrate menu.
I am a newbie. How many Bacon Avocado cups equal a serving?
Hi, hopefreeman. It depends on how many cups you make, which depends on the size of the muffin cups you use. One serving is one-half of the recipe, however many cups you make.
Hi, Dianna51. We wish you much success, and are happy to help however we can.
I am just starting this and if my calculations are correct I will be my ideal weight September 2020
Hi. I’m a newbie. I don’t eat any fish at all. none. No tuna,shrimp,etc…what can I substitute for the meals that have seafood?
Hi, momtofour. You can use any other meat – beef, lamb, venison, etc. – or poultry – chicken, turkey, etc.
Since seafood is an important source of omega-3 fats, are you getting these from other foods? Supplements?
Try Chicken or Turkey, white meat
Can I leave out the jalapeno
Hi, Thureiser. You absolutely can leave out the pepper. You can also swap it for something less hot, like paprika.
Sure. You can replace with bellpepper or the sweet peppers that are yellow, red, & orange. The color adds so much.
The cilantro and garlic are missing from the ingredient list.
Hi, K9Nemesis. If you wish, you can add up to 1/4 cup of cilantro and 1 clove of garlic without it disturbing the keto balance.
