    A helpful thing in finding new calorie-efficient protein sources is the spreadsheet linked to this thread:

    When a protein source is calorie efficient, that inherently suggests it has fewer carbs and/or less fat than less calorie efficient protein sources. If carbs are especially important to you, you can check the nutritional details for those protein sources in the MFP food database to verify.

    With apologies, I can't suggest any low-carb meals, because I didn't want or need to eat low carb in order to lose weight, and am not diabetic or insulin resistant so I didn't need to manage carbs carefully. I like veggies, fruits, and dairy foods too much to cut carbs deeply when it wasn't necessary for me. I'm sure other people will come along and help with that part.

    If no one replies about low-carb meals, there are lots of low-carb recipe sites you can find with a web search, and you can even search MFP's blog for low-carb ideas, like this:

    Best wishes!
