Would like to see more diabetic and keto guidelines. As a diabetic I have been told that 45 gm of carbs for meals and 15 gm for snacks. Was a little concerned that some of the snacks were 35 carbs.
I really appreciate this example and would love 2 weeks worth of these. I always start off with good intentions but end up hungry and failing. I can see myself following this and feeling satiated.
No need for the honey in the overnight oats, this sort of thing just perpetuates sugar/sweet cravings something the food industry has left us all saddled with. Fat level rather high when you add all these meals up.
