This morning I made "the only Keto pancake recipe you will ever need" from the website tryketowithme.com. So fluffy and delicious. You wouldn't know they were low carb. I had it with bacon and Walden Farms pancake syrup.8

I forgot. Net carbs were 6.4 grams for the whole meal.0

A staple of mine is cooking a frozen 100% beef patty and topping it with cheese for my main meat then filling the rest of the plate with some type of sauteed veggie and lots of it.
My fav sides include sauteed cabbage, kale, or green beans. Cabbage is pretty low net carb so on days when I can't "afford" kale I eat that. I like to sprinkle some parmesean on the green beans.
Another thing I love is some browned ground sausage cooked with cabbage.
Mashed cauliflower is good to have on hand for easy sides, I like to make a batch to heat up throughout the week. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/mock-garlic-mashed-potatoes-recipe-1942447
I also like to cook a whole chicken in the crockpot every week. I have chicken for soups and other things for several days plus I make the bones into bone broth.
I also love zucchinni noodles. I spiralize some up for the week to use in zucchini "ramen", spaggetti, and garlic parmesean noodles.
Can't go wrong with bacon and an omelette. Or a salad if you watch the dressing and ingredients.
I also love pecans or almonds plus string cheese for snacks.9 -
Meatza. Mix ground beef with garlic and italian herbs and a couple of eggs, spread it out thinly over an oven tray (line it with foil or baking paper), bake it for 15 minutes then top it like it's a pizza and pop it back in the oven.7

bacon, onions and mushrooms sauted over a burger or a pork chop with some sauerkraut and homemade dairy free1000 island dressing on top, chili made with chorizo and beef with an egg and avocado on top, these are pretty much my staples and favorite meals.

Today I made the bacon Brussels sprout au gratin from 12tomatoes.com. Delicious and a definite for our Thanksgiving table. Next in trying the lasagna from dietdoctor.com. We always have that around then too. Oh and I just found a recipe on Reddit for carrot cupcakes and cream cheese frosting.1

Yum - I made them in in muffin tins and froze for easy grab and go breakfasts. Use a paper liner tho - muffin tins are hard to scrub egg out of!
BTW, this site link has a bunch of other recipes that sound great too.1 -

Light and Fit Greek yogurt would not fit into somebody's meal plan who is only allowing themselves 20g net carbs per day but, as far a yogurts go, they are only 9g carbs per container. One of the lowest I've seen and, being as I allow myself up to 60g net carbs per day, I do, on occasion, enjoy one with frozen berries and whipped cream on top. It's all up to how many carbs each individual allows themselves.5 -
I just made a Homemade Meatloaf yesterday which, according to MFP, is only 4g (net carbs) per serving. I used about 2 lbs. ground beef, 1 medium onion (chopped small), 3 slices of Schmidts Whole Wheat 647 bread (a low carb bread, made by Schmidt's, which is only 6g (net) carbs per slice), 2 eggs, 3 tblsp. Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp. minced garlic, and about 2 tblsp. parsley flakes. I just run the bread under cold water, squeeze excess water out, and throw all the ingredients in a bowl, mix all the ingredients together by hand, and then form a loaf on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven. I actually made two smaller meatloaves yesterday and cooked it for about 11/4 hours. If you're going to do one large meatloaf, I would probably cook it for a little longer. I got a good 3 servings out of the 2 loaves I made yesterday (about 3 slices cut about a 3/4 inch thick) or 6 servings for a whole loaf.

You can grind up mushrooms in place of the bread to hold it together and it tastes amazing.

That sounds good. I'll have to try that next time. Not sure my son will eat it though......lol0 -
My meatballs/meatloaf are made with bread soaked in milk, which is a common preparation, so adding moisture isn't necessarily a bad thing. Can't speak from experience to the mushrooms. Sounds like something worth trying though....Hope you know he/she meant dried mushrooms right? Otherwise you are just adding more moisture

I actually didn't mean dried mushrooms. I just grind up portabellas really small, and sometimes a bit of parmesan to bind them together so I am not using bread/breadcrumbs. I don't like dried out meatballs or meatloaf. it comes out great and they don't fall apart and the meatiness of the mushrooms, just enhances the flavor of the dish overall.

When I make meatloaf I use crushed pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs. My family loves it!1

My favourite low carb meals are Cambodian beef lok lak and Northern Thai nam prik ong. Both are essentially red meat and raw veg. I skip the optional rice and don't miss it. In case you miss the neutral foil of rice, raw cauliflower blitzed in the food processor into rice sized granules would take care of that.

A couple more traditional European recipes that are low carb. Bagna Cauda from Piedmont (just skip the bread that would normally round out the meal and Grande Aioli from southern France, skipping the boiled new potatoes.
The bagna cauda recipe below is given as an upmarket starter. A traditional peasant meal would include bread which is used to catch the drippings from the raw veg as you transport it from communal sauce dish to your plate. Bread is eaten when it is soaked in the garlicky sauce. At the end of the traditional meal, eggs are scrambled in the last of the sauce.

I am currently on the last part of my journey having already lost 10 stone and now within 1.5stone away from my target I am starting on a lower carb diet. I have been eating a lot of eggs for breakfast but that gets a bit tedious. I am looking for any suggestion for low carb breakfasts that will fill me up as I have an active job. Looking to stay below 30g of carb per day:) 0
