flaxseed cookie questions

[Loriblue]

Okay, so I am going to make this recipe:

Sugar "Cookies"

Except I will be using all splenda instead of erythritol, and instead of almond flour, I am using milled flaxseed. Here is the link to the nutrition info:

Milled Flaxseed

My question is...how many net carbs will be in each cookie all together? If net carbs is carbs minus fiber, does that mean that the flaxseed has no carbs?

Thank you!

The carbs in flax meal are said to be zero just because they are below 0.5 g per serving. But flax does have some carbs.

In 20 tbsp of flax meal (1-1/4 cups), there is approx. 10 net carbs according to CalorieKing (50 total carbs, 40 fiber). You are only allowed 1 tbsp of flax meal per day, unless constipated, so you can't eat more than 1 cookie. Also, each cookie has 1 serving of Splenda if you use only Splenda (1 cup). So even if you are constipated, you can't eat more than 3 servings (and that is assuming you don't consume sweeters from any other foods).

Thank you so much! You got it-one cookie!

Oh, yeah I forgot...would it be okay to put some cream cheese on it?

I made them smaller than the recipe called for, so I think I should be in the clear

Since you are on Induction, you might want to reconsider "feeding your sweet tooth". I've seen too many people fail because they have fed that sweet tooth. See the more you feed it the more it will want.
