You can always adjust your carb intake at other meals to balance a higher carb dinner. Same with calories. Carbs aren't evil anyway. I'm thrilled to see veggie options.

If this dish has too many carbs try substituting spaghetti squash.

The 72 grams of carbs are more than half of what I usually take in per day. Too many of these so called vegetarian options have more carbs and sugar than I can deal with.

How is almost 500 calories diet-friendly? That's a quarter of the calories the average person should get in a day... And we're supposed to eat six small meals a day, so this is completely diet unfriendly. 72 grams of carbs & only 12 are fiber?! As good as that looks & sounds, I'll pass.

Thank you so much for the meatless meals! I always love to look at the meal suggestions, but almost nobody gives numerous vegetarian options. Thank you so much Fitness Magazine for recognizing that some people live happily sans meat!
