    So 4 ounces of steak, 1 ounce of squash and 1 1/2 Brussels sprouts a person? Wow that sounds like a snack not a meal

      Oh my God! This delicious! My family hates brussels sprouts but they’ll eat this. Not sure why but I think the squash cuts the flavor of the sprouts. Originally I thought it needed more salt but the red pepper and siracha make up it for that. This will definitely become a regular in my home.

        So 130 grams of Brussels sprouts is about 6 sprouts? Is this a mistake?

          If you measure by weight and not by piece, then the 130g of raw Brussels sprouts and 100g of raw butternut squash will yield 5g of carbs per cooked serving (a little less than 1oz of each vegetable). This is a typical serving of vegetables per meal for me to stay in ketosis.

          So 6 Brussels divided for 4 people? So 1 and 1/2 sprouts per person?

          The sprouts I grow are about an ounce per sprout (small to medium). 130 grams is around 4 to 5 sprouts. I'm not a fan of sprouts (the fam is so I grow it), but I'll give the recipe a try.

          I can't leave an unanswered question alone! 😁 I took out the largest 6 cauliflower and got up to 110, but that's it. I've seen larger ones so maybe that's why? I'd love to know if you've made it and what did you think of it.

          Depending on the size of the sprouts :) It's best to use a scale when on a Keto diet.
