I don’t have portabello mushrooms right now but I do have a few cans of mushroom pieces. Can I substitute the mushroom pieces for the portabellos?
Hi, Episcopalian. Yes, of course.
What kind of shredded cheese? I don’t like cheddar?
Hi, msmundy18. Any full-fat cheese will do. Mozzarella is a popular alternative to cheddar, as are Monterey Jack and Colby.
I dont have mushrooms on hand what do I use instead
Hi, Shira82. Any non-starchy vegetable will do – greens, eggplant, zucchini…
Can I use Eggbeater
Hi, Dianeherr21. You can use Eggbeaters, but since it is lower in fat than whole eggs, you should add another ounce of cheese to keep the recipe keto-supportive. If you want to keep the cholesterol content low, you can swap the butter for olive oil.
Can’t wait to make this today!
Hi, can I substitute something for the mushrooms? I cannot eat them.
Hi, RebeccaF. Any low-carbohydrate vegetable will do – celery, green onions (scallions), zucchini (courgette) or leafy greens like spinach.
I don’t like mushrooms is there a substitute?
Hi, Gvj102. Any low-carbohydrate vegetable will do – celery, zucchini (courgette) or leafy green.
Can I use canned mushrooms?
Hi, Natycomp. Sure – you would used 1.5 cups drained.
Is there a difference between using mushrooms? I notice most of my mushroom recipes are Portobello. Also, is there any issue is sautéing the mushrooms in the butter first and then adding the eggs? I don’t like raw Portobello mushrooms.
Hi, Jody912. No real differences – just go by weight or volume. I agree that it is best to saute the mushrooms first.
Question about measuring the mushrooms, it is still confusing to me in some of these recipes; this calls for 170 g of mushrooms or 2 portabellas. Is that whole portabellas? When I looked online for a conversion for 170 g of mushrooms to cups, it says it 2 1/4 Cups of mushrooms. That seems like a lot for one serving. Just wanted to understand the measurement.
Hi, Jody912. Yes, that weight is for two whole large portabella mushrooms.
You can use a scale that measure ounces and grams as well.
I just started this week. I am the only one doing the trim down club in my household. On following your recipes so far, it seems as if the recipes are geared for more than one person. Is that true? If so, you think about making it to where you can choose a number of servings. Just a suggestion.
Hi, LBayless. Thanks for that input – I have forwarded it to our tech development team.
In the meanwhile, you can use our reference guide – http://www.trimdownclub.com/reducing-the-size-of-recipes.
I guess this is suposed to be about the omlette which is great but my problem is understanding what macros are and how to find out more. I have’nt got a clue. I don’t know where I should have asked this as I am hopeless at a computer. Thanks
Hi, Patricia60. You can ask anywhere you like (though the forums are the place in which generic questions are most frequently asked).
I’m not sure how basic you want the information to be, so I’ll start at the most basic, and you can redirect me as needed.
Macronutrients yielding energy (calories) are carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. We arrange the foods into food groups, based on the methods of diabetes and dietetics organizations around the world. .The approximate values are as follows:
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
The keto menu you have does not have any carbohydrate-containing exchanges other than vegetables, by nature of the diet type: the goal is to have a ratio of at least 1 fat gram for every carbohydrate+protein gram, to get your body into “ketosis.”
At your current weight, you are allotted per day at total of approximately 35 grams of carbohydrate, 105 grams of protein, and 160 grams of fat. These amounts will go down as you lose weight.
It tells me that I’m only allowed 10g carbs per day, yet all my recipes are that plus more per meal. How am I to work out what I can or can’t have?
Hi, Hotbod. The important thing about enabling ketosis is to have the same or greater amount of fat compared to the sum of carbohydrates+protein. These keto recipes are designed to do that.
Where did you see that you must have only 10 grams of carbohydrates per day?
how is it that none of the ingredients in this omelette have any carbs except the mushrooms (2) and yet you say it has 10 carbs??
Hi, Russel22. Eggs and cheese actually do have some carbohydrate in them. Note, however, that the combined amount of carbohydrate + protein is still less than the amount of fat.
Wow never eaten butter like this are you sure is a good thing?
Hi, Lewellen. It depends on a person’s genetics, and of course, the type of butter. Not all people react poorly to saturated fats, and benefit more from the lack of carbohydrates. The best type of butter is “pastured” or “grass fed,” which tends to have a better make-up of fats.
