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 have never commented here, but I am compelled to today. I read your blog regularly. I love it and appreciate it. And I appreciate you for doing it. It’s a tremendous FREE resource. Thank you. Keep doing what you love and keep creating.
Lisa says
Good grief what do people expect from you!! You provide all these FREE recipes and great info. Yes it is nice to have that info but if you are substituting or using a different brand you would have to redo the totals anyway. In my opinion those type of people are not worth your time or effort. Please don’t become discouraged with those comments. Obviously you can’t please everyone-
BUT YOU DO PLEASE A LOT OF US!!!!
I so truly appreciate all your recipes and the extreme effort you put into your blog!
Keep up your great work!

Elana, Bravo for your response! I appreciate you and the work you do to share your recipes and information with us. We can’t be all things to all people… and for some we can’t do enough!
Kristi says
Good for you!!! You are providing an amazing service for so many of us with food allergies and I am so grateful for that! The irony is that if this person were eating a healthy diet there really is no reason to count calories or fat content or any such nonsense, just eat good food! That is what I tell my friends/ family when they ask what I am doing to look so good and feel so much better! I eat Paleo and have Elana’s treats occasionally! Keep doing what you are doing and know there are so many who are thankful for you and all you do every day!
Jodi says
Hi Elana! I don’t hate you :( I enjoy the recipes you share so much and therefore bought your books. It’s very rich of someone to quibble over the information you provide with your recipes, if you choose to count calories then you need to take responsibility for yourself, what you bake and what you eat.
Best wishes from Australia xx

Hi Elana! I read your blog/recipes all the time and rarely comment, but felt compelled today! Just to say thanks for all of the recipes and hard work you put into YOUR blog! I’m a little shocked at the rudeness and audactiy of that comment, as if any of the information you willing provide is something that is owed to your readers, much less in the format THEY prefer…okay, done ranting! Thanks for the wonderful recipes!
Christine says
Ditto to all the great comments. Elana, your books are great. The recipes execute with elegant simplicity. The photos are visually and gustatorially stimulating.
I spent 5 years perusing the collection of gluten-free cookbooks from my local library, which is a sizeable and ever expanding collection. Your books are ALWAYS on the wait-list, even with multiple copies of each, proving they are probably the most popular GF cookbooks in Johnson County. If anybody has access to a similar collection, it really is the best way to go in deciding which way you may need to move in the healing phases.
As a CAM doctor with degrees in multiple disciplines, I’ve never advocated calorie-counting. in fact, I have a great disdain for it. Instead, I make the focus about LIFESTYLE, what’s in the food and where does it come from for the last 3 decades.
Our ancestors never counted calories. That’s a manufactured “buy-in” brainwashing campaign started in the early 20th century by the petro-chem-pharma-industrial complex under th guise of “Better Living Through Chemistry”. Guess where that’s taken us; GMO’s, superbugs, CAFO’s, herbicides and more than 10,000 compounds of which we are basically ignorant yet many other countries ban many of them as known toxins.
Ally says
Thank you. For your recipes. For your conviction. For not treating us like imbeciles and doing for us what we can do ourselves.
I have different nutrition goals than you (though I just read that you are Paleo now, so maybe not). I like different ingredients and components than you. Therefore, I add and substitute on recipes all the time. That’s the fun! And I use a website to calculate the carbs and nutrition. And it’s not that hard. :)
So thanks again. And I look forward to more recipes!
