Nutritional Information

Beginning in 2018, I am working to include nutritional information to many new recipes that are published. This information is calculated using the nutrition calculator on myfitnesspal.com. These calculations are based on the brands of products that I used and are estimated at the best of my ability. Please note that these nutritional calculations are provided as a guide and are not intended as a statement of fact.

Due to the amount of time required to calculate the nutritional information on each of the recipes, I am not able go back and add nutritional information on all my older recipes.

If you would like to calculate nutritional information on recipes, I suggest My Fitness Pal, Calorie Count, or Spark People. I recommend calculating your own nutritional information based on the brands you use and any substitutions you may make to the original recipe, especially if you have dietary restrictions or concerns.

I am not a registered dietician and am providing this information as a service only. I am not giving or implying to provide any dietary advice.
