I'm making this tonight. How much is considered a serving for a woman?
ReplyDeleteI eat two pieces as a serving (along with veggies). It just depends on how it fits into your macros for the day. Hope that helps.
DeleteI made this using ground chicken breast and added a little Italian Seasoning. It was FABULOUS!!!
DeleteI made this last night and it is awesome! I used unsweetened ketchup with one packet of Stevia added to it for a little sweetness for my husband.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea to add the stevia! Thank you for sharing.
DeleteThis is SO good! The serving for women is 2 bars; are the macros for the 2 bars?
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE this recipe! The macros are for 1 "bar" (they will vary depending on your ingredients).
DeleteDoes this freeze okay?
ReplyDeleteYes! We usually keep ours in the fridge but you can freeze it.
DeleteThis is honestly the best meatloaf I have ever made! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYAY! We love it too!
DeleteJust made this and it is fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. I'll be lucky if my Tim doesn't eat it all himself. He has a thing for meatloaf. :)
ReplyDeleteHAHA! I hope he didn't eat it all! We make this every week!
DeleteWhat can you substitute if you do not like ketchup?
ReplyDeleteIn regards to serving sizes I am just an oddball. I take pictures of the back of the item (or search for the nutrition information online in the case of veggies) and then I go to excel and use the auto sum to calculate it all up. That way I can decide how many pieces I want in order to fit it into my macros. It literally takes like 4-7 min to input it. :)
ReplyDeleteTo make it really gluten free make sure to use wheat free tamari!
ReplyDeleteWe love this meatloaf and the leftovers are great on whole wheat sandwich rolls. We mix the remaining tomato paste with a 1/2 c. ketchup and use that for the spread. Makes a nice, rich topping that has less sugar AND I don't have leftover tomato paste. :)
ReplyDeleteI used this recipe as a base for the meatloaf that I made on Sunday for our meals during the week. I added the following to the sauteed mixture: finely chopped zucchini, carrots, celery, and white button mushrooms. Due to the water from the added veggies, I added a wee more tomato paste and about a 1/4 c more oats. For the topping, I used about 1/4c ketchup, 1/8c liquid aminos, and about a tablespoon of my favorite cayenne pepper hot sauce (If I knew how to create the trademark symbol on this computer, I would give the name:) ). I just read where Teri uses the tomato paste for the topping and I think that's what I will incorporate into it for next time; I tend to have the leftover tomato paste problem myself and often wonder why companies don't start packaging the stuff in much smaller amounts.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the recipe!
There are tubes of tomato paste available. A' more is the brand I believe.
DeleteThis is delicious!! Here's a tip for those that have kids- I puréed the sautéed mixture with the oatmeal so that my kids wouldn't complain about the chunks. The loved it and we're completely unsuspecting that they were eating healthy veggies :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this recipe! Could have it every week and not get sick of it =)!
ReplyDeleteDo you have any suggestions for a soy substitute? My system can not handle soy products of any kind. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteCoconut aminos or fish sauce
DeleteAny suggestions for a soy sauce or liquid aminos substitute? I do not wish to have soy.
ReplyDeleteI am sensitive to tomatoes. Any suggestions for replacing?
ReplyDeleteQuick note for anyone planning on making it GF... don't forget to use GF soy sauce!!! (I'm highly gluten intolerant, so I've learned a lot of this the hard way). Appreciate the GF tips and recipes on your site!
ReplyDeleteTry coconut aminos as a soy sauce replacement
ReplyDeleteDumb question but is it 1 1-2 cup each of onion and red pepper?
ReplyDeleteNot a dumb question! No, that is combined so we usually do 3/4 cup of onion (chopped) & one red pepper (chopped).
DeleteYou have soy sauce in the directions and not in the ingredients? How much soy sauce?
ReplyDeleteLiquid aminos is what she is referring to as soy sauce. Made this recipe tonight and it was great. (Used liquid aminos)
DeleteMade this almost every week when I ate clean this spring…starting again and plan to make it many times again! Even the hubby eats this with me!!! He usually eats PB&J when I make something 'too healthy' for him :)
ReplyDeletemaybe a dumb question but in the beginning you refer to not counting calories or macros, but yet in this recipe (the first i checked out bc we decided to start eating clean) you say "I eat two pieces as a serving (along with veggies). It just depends on how it fits into your macros for the day"
ReplyDeleteYou mean that you don't have to be exact about the macro's but you have to calculate them so you have a direction to fit it all in? Like this:
• Protein – 1.0 gram {for weight-loss} per pound of body weight
• Carbohydrates – around 1.0 gram per pound of body weight
o Sugar – under 30 grams per day (keep your sugar derived mostly from fruit)
• Fat – around 0.5 gram per pound of body weight
thx for this wonderfull site!!
Patricia
oh and these grams per protein/carbs/fat is like for the whole day (so per meal you have to divided in 5 or 6?)
DeleteIs the turkey pre cooked??
ReplyDeleteNo, the turkey is not pre-cooked. You mix it all together raw and then cook it! It's one of our favorite recipes!
