The cheese bread is SO delicious! Would I be fine to eat it every morning with an egg or would it stall my weightloss? Thank you for your wonderful recipes!

These recipes are great, but it would be nice to have the nutrition information available as I am documenting on the Fitbit weight program. Monitoring carbs and protein. Thanks.

I've just noticed that you can click on each numbered instruction and it ticks it off as you go along. Very handy. I'm easily pleased as you can see!

Can you list the carbs in each separate part of the recipe as I just made the cheese bread to eat warm with a bit of butter

This recipe is delicious.
But I'm wondering what is the carb count for just the burger (without the fries, as swedes are out of season here) and also just for the cheese bread only?Reply: #18

I'd like to try the bun for this burger with hamburger meat. I'd like to know how many carbs per bun, please.

I am sorry, unfortunately I do not have the carb count broken out by meal component. Here is another very popular bread recipe from our website that is 2g net carbs per bun.

What would be a good substitute for ajvar relish?

Ajvar relish is made from roasted red peppers. You could try a sun dried tomato relish/bruschetta or even guacamole if you wanted to avoid the tomato or pepper families altogether.
