Hi @Kristin251,

I also make my own mayo and use macadamia oil, which has a neutral taste. Initially I was quite scared of screwing up the mayo, but making it was much easier than I thought.

Other low-carb options are Caesar's dressing (Cardini's has 1.4 g of carbs), Ranch dressing isn't too bad (Cardini's has 3.1 g of carbs. Sauce Bernaise and sauce Hollandaise are other options (about 4g of carbs).

There are also some pestos (Genovese, Calabrese) with about 5g of carbs -- however, some makers use higher carb ingredients, so I always check the label.

Thanks but that does not look healthy, at least for me.

I’ll just have to get used to olive oils and herbs and butter.

Are you over thinking things? You have raved over Mayo. You love it. Rapeseed Oil may not be the best fat in the world, but it is the best seed oil and is full of omega 3 with very little omega 6. (a better ratio than olive oil as it happens) It may well even have more benefits than risks. Who really knows? You have the non-GMO expeller pressed brand, so even better.

Hi @bangkokdiabetic,

The number of carbs per 100g can be found on the food labels in most European countries. If I make sauces myself, I calculate the carbs in the ingredients. If I have any doubts, I weigh the portions I use.

my confusion was over how to convert 500ml a Liquid measurement with 100 grams a solid measurement by the way I am English but wonder why whoever calculates cant give nutritional info per 100 ml for liquids it would be easier for busy shoppers to understand

I would just weigh an empty container, then pour the liquid into the container, weigh again, and then subtract the weight of the container.

Thank you the info is on the mayo bottle in the Supermarket my point is unless The purchaser is some sort of mathematical genius which the majority will no be how can they decide on the Carb/Sugar content ?
I suspect they could show the figures per 100 ml but maybe they wont look so low if they do !!!

Yes, I see your point and guess you would be right in most cases. Just had a look at the bottle at Caesar's dressing, though, and it does in fact state carbs per 100 ml -- so I guess it depends on the maker.

I don’t know...maybe....probably? I can rave over loads of things that are t good for me or I don’t digest. I’m SO STINKING SICK OF MY STOMACH!!! And everywhere I read canola oil is high.y inflammatory and wreaks havoc on the intestinal lining. I’m not even sure it’s canola. Might just be oils in general. Made tuna with olive oil and didn’t much care for it and got a bit nauseous. Came home and smashed avo in a piece of turkey and much much better.
I have a serious love hate relationship with food. With SIBO intolerances are a mile long. And I love all food somtry to take what I can when I can. Protein and avo are always ok and the rest is a wild card. I never know until it’s down the hatch. I’m seriously fed up with my stomach. I’ve tried HCL, enzymes etc and they help for about a week and then backfire.
The other thing is my diet is 80% fat so I like to have the best fats.
I’m so envious of people like you who can just enjoy their food without issue. My husband is like that. I really don’t mind eating the same things over and over but it would be nice to have more variety. Fortunately now my husband isn’t eating his big ass salad that I can’t keep my mitts off and is eating broccoli instead. Much better on my tummy IF I keep portions small of course. Arg...just shoot me lol

Btw. What do you put on your salmon? Please do t say mayo lol

LOL. Yes .... mayo! I only usually eat tinned salmon, so it is fairly moist. But also I slice up a big pickled onion and mix that in, and a drop of vinegar sometimes. But mainly mayo. Sorry!!!!

Tinned salmon is moister. I could get through that. Tuna is not so moist haha. I’ve just smashed avo with salmon and it’s fine. Tuna...still too dry.

The problem I have is I eat LOADS of mayo. Bf lunch and often dinner. To. Much of a good thing me thinks

I'm not a tuna fan. Do you eat the canned tuna? Would a few drops of vinegar work on that as well as it does on tinned salmon?
Or a mustard mixture?

100ml of water weighs 100g so for water based products the measurements are pretty interchangeable. The specific gravity of rapeseed oil is about 0.92g/ml so 100ml weighs 92g. On that basis, for rapeseed oil based products I think 1g of carbs per 100ml would equate to 1.08g per 100g. Other cooking oils are probably similar.
