      I’m not too knowledgable on wines, I’m out of white wine and my Aldi does not carry ANY wines.. not even cooking wine (gotta love NY!). Can I use rice wine, marsala or sherry? if not, what can I sub with? I do like the flavor white wine adds to food but I’m just out at the moment and only order my food online thru instacart/aldi.

        Hi, Deitraj98. Our current smoothie recipes are not keto-supportive, but I would be happy to help you with options if you wish to substitute for one of the meals. All I need is a list of the smoothie ingredients you like, and of course, what you absolutely do NOT want – and I will post some ideas here.

            Hi, cdyabaron. I suggest you change over to the regular low-carbohydrate route for the personal version of the Menu Planner, then just tweek it to be keto. You can do this by deselecting “keto” in the “Dietary Needs” section of your profile (lower right area), then generating a new menu. Once you have the template, click on the edit tool at the upper right of each meal, then make your food selections – you will be guided by the meal pattern, which you can make keto through the following substitutions:
            * For each carbohydrate exchange, use two fat exchanges
            * For each fruit exchange, use a vegetable exchange (unless you use low-carbohydrate fruits like cantaloupe, cassava melon, raspberries, or strawberries.
            * For a fruit exchange, use an ounce of dark chocolate (preferably 70% or higher cocoa solids) or a 125-calorie portion of one of our keto desserts.
            If you prefer fewer meals per day as in the keto plan, you can add exchanges from the unwanted snacks to your other meals. Note that since the system wants something at every meal, you can just add a random item like “Vegetables of Your Choice.”
            If you would like additional help, please let me know.
