    Just wanted to flag up an issue I think I’ve spotted with one of the recipes in the book – the apple wedges with homemade almond butter. The recipe uses 300g of almonds and says it makes 4 portions, but says that the calories (with apple and seeds) is 110.

    300g of almonds contains 1776 calories according to the packs I bought today, which tallies with calorie counts on my fitness pal. Just wanted to flag it up as if you used this recipe you’d end up eating >500 calories in one go.

    Thanks NewDieter for feeding back about the ground almonds. It should be for 12 portions. Interestingly, for almonds and most other nuts, about a third of calories are not absorbed during digestion, probably due to the roughage. So they both fill you up and are also relatively low on calories!
