Low(ish) carb, high(ish) calorie microwaveable recipes?

Oishii

I have Gestational Diabetes so have to stick to 15g of carbs for a snack and 40-50g for a main meal.

We're just getting a microwave, so I wondered if anyone had any suggestions.

Thanks :flowerforyou:

do you mean things you can cook in a microwave or cook on a regular stove/oven and then reheat?

I would stick to chicken/turkey that you make in bigger batches and then freeze - that's what i do - and eat with a big salad and/or cooked veg (you can steam brocolli in the microwave for example).

Frittatas - big omelets filled with vegetables and cheese - can be eaten cold (I know that people actualy cook these in the microwave but I'm not a big fan).

If you mean to actually cook in the microwave that i got nothing, sorry.

I just remembered mug cakes so google-fu'd low carb mug cakes and got a few recipes. No idea if they are good, but..

I keep meaning to try out mug cakes as I do not cook much at all.

Kielbasa and hot dogs with cheese! They are usually fully cooked so just reheat in a microwave!
