I am Diabetic Type 2 and also on a diet. When I make anything like this I weigh and count the total calories, carbs, sugar, etc. When I put everything into tubs for the freezer I divide the total calories, etc., by the number of portions and write the details per portion on a label on the container.

hey Jenny, We work out our recipes on the serving size not by weight. To work out your own weight of a serving you would need to make the finished dish and divide servings, as the weight will vary due to variation of ingredients and water content it’s not something we can do as an exact measure. If you scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page on the website there is a little arrow by servings and you can alter up or down to serve more or less people. Hope that helps!

Yes, in fact you don’t have to put the meat in. I grew up with this and you would cook your meat joint in the soup. Have a plate of soup and then serve meat with potatoes.

Hi Nicola, thanks for getting in touch with us, I would set this to high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-7. Hope this helps
