I didn't used to put the nutrition info in my recipes but started
doing so a couple of years ago. As time is available (and the mood
strikes me) I'm going back through the older ones and adding the
nutrition info.

We should remember that any nutrition analysis is based on estimates.
But I agree that it's helpful to have it available in recipes that
have special diet suggestions.

Hi Pete.

Nice to hear from you.

One of the difficult things for guys like me with that
particular recipe was the use of potato flakes.

I haven't bought any form of potato processed product since
I was diagnosed. We do buy, and eat in moderation, fresh
potatoes but I would not recommend that a type 2 keep
processed potato products in the larder at all.

The recipe was intended to be primarily a demonstration of a Low Fat
technique. The thin layer of potato flakes bakes up crisp when sprayed
with a bit of olive oil.

That one works out to 5g net carbs for a 4oz serving. Compared to
batter-fried fish it's significantly lower in carbs and fat.

As your tag line says, "Everything in Moderation". For some folks,
including diabetics, that can include a very moderate amount of
potato.

I updated the recipe to include the nutrition analysis if you'd like
to see how it works out.

Have a wonderful holiday season down there.
