Reduce calories
Replace saturated fat with monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fat
Reduce fat
Increase fiber
Replace simple carbohydrate with complex carbohydrate
Replace animal protein with plant protein
Increase protein
Or something else! Message me for approval.
Task 2- Modify and Share
In the discussion forum you will provide us with the following:
A link to the recipe or copy/paste the recipe. (1 point)
Tell us what kind of modification you are making. (1 point)
Explain how you would modify the recipe. (1.5 points)
Provide us with a comparison of the nutrition information from the original recipe versus the modified recipe. (1.5 points)You only have to share the component that you are changing. For instance, if you are trying to decrease the total fat you would provide the total fat from the original recipe and the estimated total fat for the modified one.
Example-
https://www.servingdumplings.com/recipes/baked-meatballs-with-orzo-in-roasted-pepper-sauce/
I will be reducing the total amount of saturated fat for this Baked Meatball and Orzo recipe. I would first modify the recipe by switching the meat from ground beef to ground turkey. Next, I would use flaxseed instead of egg (flaxseed is a great egg alternative in cooking and baking!). Then, I would opt for nonfat mozzarella and low fat ricotta. The original recipe had approximately 75 grams of saturated fat for the entire dish (18.75 g/serving). With my modifications, the saturated fat would be reduced to 11 grams of saturated fat for the entire dish (2.75 g/serving)!
