  • I make a curry chicken salad I eat with raw spinach that would fit your macro requirements:

    Rotisserie Chicken - skin removed, chopped (or two pounds chicken breast, chopped)
    Light Sour Cream, 3/4 cup
    Light Mayonnaise - 4 Tbsp
    Celery - 3 stalks, chopped small
    Carrots - 3, chopped small
    Onions - 2 tbsp, chopped small
    Raisins - small box, 10 grams, chopped
    Curry powder - 2 tbsp

    I assume all of this is mixed together like a chicken salad. Do you put it in/on something or just eat it with a fork?

    Yep, just like chicken salad. I layer it in a bowl with handfuls of spinach and eat it with a fork. My husband likes to eat it on low carb tortillas like little burritos.

    OK, did a little research. A Salmon pattie consists of three main ingredients. Salmon, Eggs and Bread crumbs.
    I am no cook so I need some informed opinions. If I use 2 cans of Salmon, 1 egg and 28 grams of bread crumbs would I get a pattie or a mess?
    The macros would be 20, 15, 50 so that would be pretty close to perfect. I could add a little evoo or garlic oil to up the fat maybe a little sugar to up the carbs. What do you think?

    the recipes i am seeing call for 1 egg for every 7-8oz of salmon and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
    I haven't made salmon patties yet. So I can't speak from experience.
    your suggestion should work, but you'd be looking at something more like salmon burgers. (i usually add 1 egg and 1-2 tbsp breadcrumbs or flour to however much ground beef i am using at the time)
    You might try and experiment with a bit more breadcrumbs, and maybe an extra egg white...
    worst case scenario - the patties are going to crumble and fall apart - it doesn't influence the flavour all that much ;-)
