Questons about a couple recipies....
Posted Thursday, January 7, 2010 at 3:24 PM

Regarding servings. Some of the recipies say it makes 16 Pancakes, 6 Sandwiches, 8 Tacos or 9 muffins sooooo my question is how many of those would equal a serving? For instance would it matter that I had 3 tacos vs. 2 tacos?? I can't imagine we're allowed to eat all 16 pancakes...not that one could but it doesn't specify how many pancakes are a service. Also are we supposed to be counting or staying within a calorie zone?

Well I don't think I COULD eat 16 pancakes, but as long as you are staying in the 20 to 30 grams of fat on a plant based diet, you are legal.

Most of the recipes do say at the top what a 'serving' is, but I have found that a lot of them are not very accurate when it comes to how much they make. I made the blueberry buckwheat pancakes, which I think it said make 16 small pancakes? I made the whole recipe and it made five or six regular-sized pancakes. I ate three and kept the others for snacks later on. The Hoppin' John recipe said it made 10 servings, but each
'serving' was very small. I think I ended up making four or five meals out of it. I keep an eye on the calorie counts, but it's pretty hard to get too many calories from the things I've made so far, even if your serving size is twice as big as they say.
