High Protein Low Carb Food Ideas

JuanitaLynne

Anyone out there have some good high protein, low carb food ideas they'd like to share? I'm trying to get my cals up and have a low carb menu day today (30%), but I'm having trouble getting my cals up without eating to much food and keeping the 30% mark.

Any ideas?

Eggs are my go-to for that. Scrambled with some ham or cheese or veggies, or an omelette.

Kirkland turkey burgers FTW.

If you eat meat, meat.

Eggs - I hardboil a dozen at the beginning of the week and have one as a snack or with a meal when I need more protein.
Seeds and Nuts - I put 100 calories of roasted pumpkin seeds or walnuts in individual snack bags to eat as a snack or add to a salad.
Salmon - I keep small cans of wild caught salmon to add to salads.
Beans - I make my own more as a stand alone meal - similar to a meatless chili.

Gelatin (from pastured animals) is a great way to sneak protein into all sorts of things: coffee, smoothies, soups, make gummies, etc... It has no taste, but 11g of protein per serving (2Tbs).

Greek yogurt, meatballs, eggs, steak and veg, chicken and veg, any meat and veg i tend to eat my carbs as a side or something i can choose what the ratio is.

If you're looking to increase calories without adding extra carbs Opt for meats with higher fat content (beef, pork, dark chicken meat), full fat dairy products or add nuts/nut butters to your meals. If you're looking for a crunchy salty snack, pork rinds are a great low carb alternative

I made a shrimp stir fry for lunch today - 4 oz of shrimp, two cups of peppers and onions cooked in olive oil., yum!
