“Many Savory Eats recipes were created and enjoyed during my prep to win four first-place victories in three NPC figure competitions. I never felt deprived of the foods I loved, which helped me stick to my nutrition goals. I credit my success to that!”

The freedom is yours to substitute ingredients that best suit your taste and dietary preferences. Beyond and Impossible brand meat replacements, vegan and dairy-free yogurt, cheese, egg, butter, and gluten-free products are fairly common in most grocery stores today. Note that I haven‘t tested any recipe with ingredients other than specified.
Meats: Tofu, TVP, tempeh, seitan, vital wheat gluten, beans, lentils, jackfruit, and mushrooms.
Cheese: Nutritional yeast, cashews and soaked nuts, crumbled tofu, aquafaba from canned chickpeas, potatoes, or other starchy vegetables.
Yogurt & Cream Cheese: Bean or Silken Tofu puree work to add creaminess. Mixing a vegan protein powder with non-dairy milk can mirror Greek yogurt.
Eggs and Butter: apple sauce, pumpkin, banana, avocado, aquafaba from canned chickpeas can be used as egg whites or flax eggs.
Flour: All-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, almond flour, and oat flour have a 1:1 ratio except for coconut flour, which has a 4:1 ratio. Coconut flour is extremely absorbent so you will need about 4x’s the amount for a similar end product.
Sugar: Swerve brand sugar substitutes are an erythritol-based sweetener made from natural ingredients. Although carbs are listed on the nutrition label, the human body cannot digest these specific carbs; therefore it is a calorie-free ingredient. Stevia, monk fruit, Truvia, or Splenda sweeteners also work. If you opt for regular sugars, like white, coconut, or agave, each gram will provide an additional 4 calories to the full recipe. For example, one tablespoon of coconut sugar = 50 calories.

A calorie and macronutrient breakdown is provided for every recipe based on the specific brands, ingredients, and serving sizes indicated. Cal= Calories, F=Fat, C=Carbs, P= Protein. Using alternative ingredients and brands may change taste, texture, cooking times, and nutritional value. For this reason, I recommend using a food-tracking app to determine the calories and macros in the recipes you enjoy. A Lose It! food tracking app tutorial can be found in my best-selling nutrition book, Master Your Macros.
