4. Diets Key
Recipes will usually have one or more of these. Sometimes a recipe will have icons that are conflicting with each other (like LC and LF) or with an ingredient (like VG when there’s meat). This is because the recipe can be tweaked slightly and easily to suit various lifestyles.

5. Fuel Source Key
Fuel Sources are based off of the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle.
Satisfying – Healthy fats as primary fuel source, low in carbs.
Energizing – Healthy carbs as primary fuel source, low in fat.
Fuel Pull – Lower in both healthy carbs and healthy fats.
S-Helper – Healthy fats as primary fuel source, a little higher in carbs.
Crossover – Higher in both healthy fats and healthy carbs.
Off Plan – While not necessarily unhealthy, these do meet THM criteria.
6. Ingredient Checklist
Mark off ingredients as you check whether or not you have them or check them off as you use them in the recipe.
7. Units & Quick Multiplier
I am based in the US, so all the recipes will use US units. Most recipes also have metric units, so toggle to those here. These metric units are automatically generated by the recipe card, so they may be approximate.
In this area, you can also press the 2x or 3x buttons to quickly double or triple the recipe.
Doonk
One measurement that is occasionally used in some of my recipes (especially when using THM stevia) is a doonk. This is a made-up term by the Trim Healthy Mama creators. When you purchase THM stevia, you have the option of also getting a free doonk measuring spoon/scoop. One doonk equals 1/32 teaspoon. A wee pinch will do.
