Missing my desserts so I just picked up a cookbook "Baking without Fat". Found many great recipes however using whole wheat pastry flour and fruits instead of fats; pure honey and pure maple syrup instead of sugar. Is there anything we can bake...I'm dying to sink my teeth into a piece of moist cake
I don't recall reading in any of SBD books how many 'good' carbs we can have in one day. Any clues?
Thanks,
Rose

I hate to break this to you Rose but we got "fluffy" by eating PB and Jam sandwiches and cake and cookies! No matter how you look at it, baking is not "good carbs" especially with honey or maple syrup. You could run a recipe through fitday or MasterCook to see just how many carbs are in it.
In the book, nothing is mentioned about how many carbs we can have per day but most people try to limit carbs to a single serving at each meal. Whole grains, legumes and fruits are good choices.
I can't say that you have made my day but at least you have set me straight I must confess that I was at a wedding yesterday (Valentine's Day) and ate a piece of wedding cake and chocolate.
I hope you enjoyed the cake! I would have! Sorry but SBD doesn't allow for the indulgences that you can get away with on WW where you just tally points.
