Need to know the nutrition information with your receipies due to my diet before i make and eat them
Hi Donna, unfortunately I don’t list nutritional information for my recipes, as I don’t feel comfortable providing information about something I’m not an expert on. I’m a real mum who likes to make real food. Whilst I do advocate for a balanced diet, I also understand that some diets require more specific information than this. If this is you, I would suggest using an online calculator such as this one (https://tinyurl.com/y5ubyob7) so that the information you get is accurate. I hope this helps Donna. Kat x
