in a rut

laura328

i've been neglecting this group but see we have 28 members! hello everyone!! i'm in a heckuva rut with my diet. i'm trying to do 40% carbs, and 30% fat 30% protein. I keep going over on carbs! Can y'all share your high protein, low fat, low carb, pescatarian ideas with me? thanks in advance!

Instead of bread use rice spring roll wrappers or a thin egg omelette to wrap sandwich stuff.

Eat veg in place of rice, potato, pasta, etc

Oooo i like that idea! Omelette sounds messy though...

Gosser

cook omelette very thin and until cooked through.

When I am going low carbs, high protein my best foods are salmon or eggs. You can also use lettuce cups instead of bread. I also buy low carb tortillas (multi grain tortillas are lower in carbs too).

I make a"bread" out of psyllium (1tsp), egg (1 or 2 egg whites), and your favorite spices ( mine are garlic, ginger and onion powders) and 2 tsp water. I use olive oil Pam spray and flip once like pancake. Very filling and total calories less than 100 - Net Carbs ZERO. I use to like soft taco shell.


To make pancakes use above - add 1-2 tsp of favorite protein powder with equal water. I use 1 tsp coconut oil after cooked with 1 tsp honey. Yummy breakfast

Wow! Great stuff! Question - what is "psyllium"?

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you - psyllium husks are 100% fiber product. You can get at Walmart or Amazon. I get it at Amazon for about $6 for a pound - and that lasts for about a month
