Lemon Herb Turkey Meatball recipe

[gina_lynn212]

Meal 4 lemon turkey meatball recipe macros are, per serving, 265 cal/8 g fat/26 g carb/26 g protein. However, the total meal macros listed at the bottom of that second page are, 336 calories/12 g fat/25 g carbs/32 g protein. The difference is 71 calories, 4 g fat and 6 g protein. Is there a missing food such as veggie or 1/2 fat?
Also, if 93% lean ground turkey is considered a FP, shouldn’t it state by meal #4, (FP, SC) instead of (LP, SC)? Or since there are egg whites in the recipe, it’s considered LP?

Which meal plan are you following, please?

Hi,
Regarding the first question- my goal for each meal is to be within 5g for each macro to the goal for that meal. Knowing that some meals are going to be slightly over and under, the averages typically work out at the end of the day. I also have to figure out how to make the meal make sense for people to prepare and measure. It would be incredibly difficult for someone to measure 1 1/4 of a recipe for example. To get closer to the goal macros for that meal, you could add 1/2 serving of cheese (1/2 F).

For the recipe, you are correct. It should be (FP, SC) and not (LP, SC). Thank you for the catch!
