Nutrition Information for My Low-Carb Cookbooks
I’m so happy to let you know that I now provide nutrition information for all of the recipes in my books! Go straight to it on the links below:
The Easiest Low-Carb Recipes
If you own my low-carb cookbooks, you’ll have all the macros available to you! If you’re thinking of buying my New York Times Best Seller, there’s a free sneak peek of every recipe here!
Nutrition Information for Website Recipes
Over the years some readers have been concerned that I haven’t provided nutrition information for the recipes here on the website. I was a bit surprised when I received the comment below regarding the 1,000 free low-carb recipes I provide here.
Yes, we know you do not answer nutrition questions, but it would be helpful, useful, and simply kind if you would simply supply this information with the recipes you provide. Organic Valley egg nog has 180 cal. and 10 g fat, while Living Without vegan egg nog has 366 calories, 33g total fat, per serving! And Elana’s recipe? God alone knows. Elana– this seems a bit of a grinch like policy on your part.
Juggling My Way Through Life
I’m not a big corporation. I’m a mom with celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, two children, and a husband. Just like all of you, I’m juggling my way through life every single day.
Free Low-Carb Recipes on Elana’s Pantry
I have a thousand free-recipes here to share with you because it makes me happy. Sitting with spreadsheets and calculators? That does not make me happy. That’s what I used to do that when I owned a big company back in 1995. I was 28 years old. I had lots of employees. I was in Fortune Magazine. I made loads of money. More than I do writing books. But writing books is fun. So I traded in my power suit and now I write low-carb power bar recipes.

I’m inspired to write without reading any of the other comments. I was thrilled when I found your website and I bought your book…not sure which came first.
I have several GF cookbooks that always sit on the shelf because they have so many ingredients (some have 3 and 4 different flours!). I don’t have the time, money or patience for that type of cooking style.
I feel in love with your Almond Flour Cookbook and have enjoyed all of the recipes I’ve tried. I won your cupcake cookbook and was so thrilled with that too. I’ve had to limit myself to a few things from that book because my focus has been to lose weight right now…but I allow myself treats from time to time…and they’ve all been so delicious!
Thank you for what you do for our gluten free community! There are some that you can’t please all the time but speaking for myself – You’ve made the quality of my life better by giving me delicious protein breakfast options that help keep my hypoglycemia in check. My husband always says you turned my life around since I have such an aversion to eggs and limited choices otherwise.
I’m rambling but I just had to come to your defense and more importantly let you know that what you do here matters.
Thanks!

Hi Elena!
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your blog. A lot of times it can be so that only the negatives voices let themselves be heard and then the ones like me, who like your site and visit it regularly, stay silent.
So thank you. You are doing a great job and I completetly agree with you that although nutriotional information can be helpful, it is often harmful to concentrate on calorie content. Counting calories can lead to unhealthy situations. It is much better to look at the ingredients in a recipe if they suit you, go ahead and eat it. If not, substitute and experiment, or choose another recipe.

Actually Elana…
I have a better idea…lets have the person that wants the nutritional information hire me, pay my hourly rate and I’ll get him/her all the nutrition info s/he wants for each of your recipes. I think s/he will be shocked how far in debt s/he will go…it’s a time consuming & complicated process!
Sending my positive thoughts/love to you! :O)

Elana,
First of all I want everyone to know how big your heart is and how generous you are with what you give with your website. The time and dedication that you give to others should not be underappreciated! Many people take all this wonderful free information for granted. I know firsthand of your generosity as you gave me (as a fellow celiac) your Almond Flour cookbook three years ago at the American Dietetics Association Conference. I never stop thanking you as you inspire me regularly to try new recipes and I always love having some of your treats on hand…peanut butter and jelly cookies are in the refrigerator as I write this! When people tell me gluten free products taste awful…I just mention your name and put them up to the challenge.
If you’d like help in the future with calculating all your recipes for the nutrition information…I’m sure I can give back to you one day. I’m a Registered Dietitian, Certified Dietitian/Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Educator, & Certified Personal Trainer. :O)
I love what you do and how generous and giving you are to others. Never change!
Thank you Elana and know that you are appreciated by tons!

Elana, you have done a fabulous job with your blog. Please, keep doing what you are doing. Your recipes have been a hit in my home, and I can certainly pick and choose what fits our dietary needs on my own without a bunch of nutritional extras. I appreciate you!

My daughter told me about eating grain-free and how it had helped her. She has never been diagnosed with any ailments at all. I began cooking that way to try and help my husband with his life-long digestive issues. It worked and has been a God-send. I found your website and bought your cookbook and haven’t looked back. Your recipes are what made me think I could do this whole grain-free thing. Please keep doing what you do any way you want to do it. Just please don’t stop! And thank you!
Hamish MacDonald says
No hate here either. I’ve been making recipes from your website for months, and it’s been a revelation. I started Dr Gundry’s diet about six months ago and while it just made sense in every way, the restrictions made it a bit joyless.
Your website gave me alternatives that made me happy, taught me the basics of baking, and ultimately nourished me.
So I’ve asked my mum for your cookbook for Christmas. Based on what I’ve seen here, I’m sure it’ll be great, but I feel at this point that I owe it to you to buy it for your generosity here and the incredible value you’ve contributed to my diet over these past months.
Thank you!

I love your blog. It makes me happy!
Justine says
I’ll add my voice to the mix. I’ve been following you for two years now, and I’ve made lots of your recipes, always with much success. I’m so thankful for the free content (which I know takes a lot of time, given the fact that I have my own baby blog, which isn’t nearly as cool or as regularly updated as yours!), and your generosity with your time and your creative spirit in the kitchen. Nutritional information is so tricky to provide anyway, because of variation (as has already been pointed out by another commenter) … and to tear you down for not providing it is inexcusable.
Thank you for being here, and being you!

Not sure if you have time to read all these blogs Elana, but its clear you have a following of supporters, myself included. I bought your book because I love to have the recipes contained in one neat package. I follow your blog because you are always coming up with new things. Thank you so much for your dedication to sharing your recipes with us. I say to anyone seeking the nutritional details, get to know ingredients before you decide to cook with them.
