Do you have any low carb high protein recipe?

I want to lose weight and build muscle at the same time (slow but steady).
I have a hard time reaching my macros, since my protein intake is generally way lower than my carbs intake.
Back to the question of the title: do you have any low carb high protein recipe that could help me?

If you are a meat eater, any kind of marinaded and roasted lean meat definitely does the job. Food Network, Allrecipes.com, etc are good places to find options.

Track your food - then eliminate the carbs and add more protein. For example - we make burritos at my house. I will put some extra meat and beans in a bowl and skip the tortilla. That cuts the carbs and adds protein. Or sandwiches without bread - served in lettuce wraps.


Here's a link to a food database showing foods with the highest protein content. Add more of those foods to your diet.

Protein powder and bars can also help. Here is a couple of recipes for high protein versions of typical foods. I have made both of those recipes and still use them sometimes.

I also like to make "protein fluff" - crushed ice, almond milk or regular milk, protein powder and some fruit. Google recipes for protein smoothies or protein fluff.
