Keto: Spring is in the air #1

Longer days with more light; the warmth of the sun coaxing everything into bloom. Yes, spring is in the air.  And while we all love cheesy casseroles and hearty stews, in spring our fancy turns to lighter, fresher meals with vibrant young veggies, cold plates, fresh herbs and tart bright flavors like the refreshing burst of lemon.

With this spring-inspired meal plan starts off the week with a breakfast of vegetarian keto scramble and grilled pork skewers with ribbon zoodles for dinner. (Eat leftovers for lunch, or skip it.) Other fare during the week includes a keto salad Niçoise, a seared salmon with asparagus and a lemon-flavored chicken soup.

    the total fat for 2 eggs and 2tbs of mayo is 11g but the fat for the mayo by itself is 58g? I'm confused. I need to keep my fat at 50g or under and this is contradicting.

    @Shara Why did you take the yolk out? If you take that out all you are left with is egg white and mayonnaise, plus any vegetable that you decided to have with it.

    If you click the serving size, you get how many portions you like from 1 to 10!

    How on earth did you get 58g of fat in two tablespoons - which are desertspoonfuls in England, not tablespoons - of mayo? I make my own mayo. Dead easy.

    How much asparagus can one eat? You don't say and it's in the photo. And also you say avocado is optional - how much? Prefer to have the measurements in grammes or ounces, not in approximations. I have to budget when I live alone. Thanks.

    That's going to depend on your carb threshold. Asparagus is keto/lchf friendly though! Again, the amount of avocado is also going to depend on your personal preference and carb threshold. Avocados come in all different weights.

    The word "mayonnaise" in the ingredient list is a hyperlink to our recipe. We recommend avoiding most commercial mayos as they have inflammatory vegetable oils.

    And this is why some diet doctor recipes are confusing! If you show the eggs with asparagus, it makes sense to count the asparagus carbs. Even as an optional extra. Otherwise, what’s the point of going to diet doctor and having to work out your own recipes?

    I understand the frustration. I have gotten in touch with the recipe team to hopefully address this in future recipes!
