Margot's Chili version 1 Here is my chili that I made tonight. It turned out very yummy however after having run the numbers I will make some changes next time. Its kinda Skyline Chili like (if you ever lived in Ohio its the standard by which all chili is measured) 1 can chopped tomatoes 87.5 cal and 28 carbs - 7 fiber =21 net carbs 1 can black soy beans 420 cal and 28 carbs- 24 fiber = 3.5 net carbs 1lb lean hamburger 1065 cal and 0 carbs 1/4 cup chopped onion 10.5 cal 2 carbs - don't know the fiber sorry 1 T unsweetened coco 12 cal 3 carbs- 1 fiber = 2 net carbs 1 t garlic powder - or to taste 1 T Balsmic Vinegar 10 cal and 2 carbs Salt to taste 1t Chili powder to taste. Full Recipe roughly totals 1605 cal 63 carb - 32 fiber = 31net carbs Divided by 4 servings, each = 401 cal 15 carbs 7.75 net carbs Had I used ground turkey and half a can of the black soy beans the each serving would be only 253.5 cal and 12.25 carbs 7.25 net carbs the carbs don't change much but the calories drop almost in half. If you wanted to lower the carbs I would use less of the tomatoes half a can perhaps. Its getting late I may have made a math error somewhere. But you can see how a small change of beef to ground turkey can lighten the recipe calorie wise and the carbs could be cut by using less tomatoes. All in all it tasted great. I thought about a second bowl and decided I did not really need any more. Now having seen the numbers I am glad I stopped and left some room for pumkin pie. The smart thing to do is run the numbers before you eat - better late than never. Granted the numbers may be a bit different depending on brands you use. If you don't care about numbers then just enjoy. I will try those changes next time and try to let you know how it goes.
