5dpt recipes on website... Can this be true?
For anyone who has tried the 5dpt and used the recipes listed on the website. For instance I am really curious, I made the Tuna Parmesean patties this morning. I used all the ingredients listed. Is it true that 1 patty (the can and mixture made 4) is really 284 calories? I added up all the calories from the tuna, the flaxmeal, the egg, etc. How could this have come to 284 calories for 1? This is really a lot for such a small patty. Am I reading this wrong? Anyhelp would be appreciated. Thanks.
You didn't like to recipe but I have a good idea what's in it.
Calories are likely being increased by the Flaxmeal. Now, the recipe probably has Flaxmeal instead of the wheat flour often associated with ___patty recipes. HOWEVER, there is no such thing as a "free lunch" and so by using Flax you reduce carbs but increase calories and fat.
When looking at different flours consider: Carbs, Calories, and Fat. You can lower one or two but the others will go up. Pick your "poison"
Personally, I'll stick with stone ground whole wheat flour.
