I too have asked this question about calories, carbs, fiber, fat and protein for all of these recipes. I never get a response. Please share if you hear anything! Good luck.
We don't want to promote to much "counting" that's why we only have the carbs in gram (fat and protein in %).
But we know about this demand for additional nutritional info and I think we will provide more info soon.
We count net carbs (Total Carbs - Fiber)
We count net carbs (Total Carbs - Fiber) and E% .
TIA
I really dislike any meat on the bone and would therefore like to substitute in chicken breast. How many grams of chicken breast can I add per serving?
Thanks!
