I plugged the mushroom count in to be about 4 (15 g = .5 oz, right?), I also used soy flour (but will probably try something like pork rinds).. you may get different counts (and of course since we dont use all of the eggs/spices, the count will be lower). But even using the numbers above, net carbs only come to about 4 per serving..

I've not tried this yet but it looks SO yummy!! try it and let me know what you think!
