-100-200g chicken
-200g spinach (cooked)
-Good shake of tumaric
-Good shake of cumin
-Garlic (paste or clove)
-A little ginger paste (to taste)
-100ml water
Pre-cook the chicken (you could grill, oven, dry fry - whatever!). Add the chicken onto a prewarmed frying pan, add the spinach into a pan precooked (frozen stuff is ideal, just micro 200g for 5 mins) and the spices. Add the spices to taste with the water and mix and reduce til in a curry like mixture. Plate it up.
A curry with almost zero carbs and very high protein. Jobs a goodun!
This sounds really yummy! We are definitely going to give this a try.0 -
Also -- Swai (white fish). This is a fantastic fish for grilling and takes only minutes to prep.
I use olive oil, juice of 1/2 a lemon, and cajun seasoning or Old Bay.
4 minutes each side on a medium heat gas grill. fab!
4 oz = 70 cal (plus the oil), 0 gr carb, 15 gr protein.0 -
Grilled chicken
Eggwhites
Protein shakes(some brands are fairly low carbs but check the label before buying)
Turkey
veggies
Last night I had an egg white omelet with sliced mushrooms and spinach. I added 1 chopped pepperochini(similar to a banana pepper) for a kick. It was amazing and it was high protein low carb and low fat.0 -

This site has a low carb group that I am in. It is a great group. Very supportive, filled with tons of information and recipes.0

I think some people said that eggs don't have carbs which is not true, they have like 2g each. Also some people said beans, which have a lot of carbs in them.
Personally I find the real issue is avoiding high carb foods as opposed to specifically eating low carb foods. I think if you just avoid flour and sugar completely then your carb intake will go way down. Meaning no pasta, bread, rice, wraps, croutons, muffins, soda, cake, etc etc...
Milk also has some carbs.0 -

On days where I cant get in 1200 calories, I have the higher fat meats like steak and ribs.0 -
I make mini fritattas - I have a recipe in the database for a ham, swiss cheese and artichoke heart one in a mini muffin in. Makes for a great snack idea or appetizer. I will make them with brocolli and cheese, bacon and sundried tomatos, they are fun to get creative with!0

I have found since trying to lower my carbs and increase my protein my fats and cholesterol has gone up.
You should expect to eat more fat if you want to keep the same calories at lower carb intake. There's a limit to how much protein we can use so at some point you'll be exchanging 9g of carbs for 4g of fat and might want to set your ratios accordingly.0 -
Ofcourse meat and veggies my problem was trying to find side dishes but I now use cauliflower and it is great.. You can make mashed cauliflower and tastes like mashed potatoes or cauliflower rice.
They taste pretty close to the real thing and is fibre healthy as well.0 -
I don't want to add junk to my diet just to make up my calories but I'm quite weak even though I have energy. I'm tempted to give up and increase my carbs even though I'm having noticeable results. Does anyone have any ideas especially high protein snacks?

If you can get it, try Kangaroo steaks (not sure if it's available outside Australia), very low fat, high in iron, and protein of course.0
