What brand of nutritional yeast do you use?
I use any brand, I can’t tell the difference. Sometimes bulk, sometimes braggs, sometimes Trader Joe’s.
Do you weigh it out as your protein or fat?
This is 1 serving and counts as 3/4 of a protein.
Do you weigh this out each time you eat it?
What do you mean?
