Sweetness choices — tap to lower sugar

Use the listed ingredients and amounts. Nutrition, saved shopping and meal planning remain based on this version.

Preparation guidance only. When a supported swap is chosen, Nutrition per serving below shows the adjusted values; filters, sugar screening, exports, Shopping and My Week stay based on the written recipe. A different sweetener does not establish diabetes suitability; total carbs, portion and verified sugars still matter.

Sugar alcohols may cause digestive symptoms; keep xylitol away from dogs. Aspartame must be avoided with PKU. No substitute is universally the healthiest choice.

Calculation basis & sources

All listed weighed ingredients summed from eight complete per-100-g USDA SR Legacy nutrient records and divided by 4. Sources: Sweet potato, raw, unprepared (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program): 400 g; https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/food-details/168482/nutrients ; Lentils, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt: 400 g; https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/food-details/172421/nutrients ; Cereals, oats, regular and quick, not fortified, dry: 80 g; https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/food-details/173904/nutrients ; Oil, olive, salad or cooking: 12 g; https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/food-details/171413/nutrients ; Spices, paprika: 3 g; https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/food-details/171329/nutrients ; Spices, garlic powder: 2 g; https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/food-details/171325/nutrients ; Lemon juice, raw: 30 g; https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/food-details/167747/nutrients. Beans and lentils are cooked without salt; rice uses the plain cooked long-grain reference, whose USDA title does not explicitly say unsalted. Poultry and vegetables are weighed raw; no drain-off or discarded marinade is assumed. Water uses the USDA drinking-water record, including its sodium; extra splashes and local mineral content can change traces. Cooking losses, product variation and final rounding make these estimates, not measured finished-food results. Added sugars are not independently verified; no sugar-qualification claim is made. Recipes are authored, not USDA-tested recipes.
