Nutritional info please & how many servings in your recipe? Thanks 🙏
Heat in the microwave oven? The regular oven? If so, at what temp, etc. It isn’t shown in the video. Is this a misprint?
I was wondering the nutrition information, esp. the net carbs. I just got the 7 day meal plan and I love it but again there is no nutrition information.
