Does anyone have some good high protein / low carb recipes?
Good morning! I am in need of some great high protein / low carb recipes. Can anyone help?
An idea for you all -- I take leftover grilled chicken breast, chunk it up into small pieces, sprinkle some shredded cheese on it and microwave it for 60 - 90 seconds. Yummy!

This site has tons of low carb recipes. You can actually choose the amount of carbs and or protein you want and it gives you options. It's based on the glycemic index.0 -
Thank you! For some reason, I didn't see this until today.
Thank you again,

Thanks for the info... I am trying to eat my protein as well. I was told to eat 20 grams of protein for breakfast to kick start my metabolism and to have 5-6 small meals during the day.0

One of my favorites for when it is cooler weather is Taco Chili, it's a Weight Watcher's Recipe I believe.
I'm vegetarian so I use Morningstar or Boca brand crumbles, but it's still very high in protein with the beans.
1 pound of lean ground beef or substitute (non-meat)
(fry that up, or heat up for non-meat)
1 onion I use the white in the chili but you can use yellow if you prefer.
(cut it up and saute)
Then in a big pot stir in:
beef
onion
1 can of tomatoes
1 can of mexican style tomatoes
1 can of kidney beans
1 can of chili beans (no meat)
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 packet of ranch dressing (yes the dry dressing)
Heat and enjoy....I put a little cheese or sour cream on top if I have enough room in my calories for the day.
It's one of my very favorite recipes EVER!!! Everyone vegetarian or not loves it too, I've served it to at least 10 different people.0 -

I make turkey smokies (sausages), broccoli, and cheese.
Chicken breasts/tenders, sprayed with olive oil spray, dipped in low sodium taco seasoning, and spread salsa over the top and bake. Soooo yummy! You can top with low fat cheese and sour cream if desired0 -

To cure mashed potato cravings, I mash up steamed cauliflower, add a dash of your preferred dairy, garlic and seasonings to taste. Very yummy side dish.0

Boiled chicken
Greek yogurt
Little lemon juice
Some diced up apple
Serve on top of lettuce0 -

Greek yogurt is much higher in protein than regular yogurt. I buy the plain non-fat Greek yogurt. It tastes like and can be used instead of sour cream, turning your garnish into extra protein and as an added bonus, no fat!
I use it all kinds of ways, you can add your own fruit and nuts (which ups the protein too) and other goodies like your protein powder. I add chocolate syrup for a chocolate pudding type desert - totally guilt free chocolate fix and so healthy!0 -
I made some very yummy flaxseed pancakes yesterday.
4 egg whites
3 T ground flaxseed
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
dash of cinnamon
dash of splenda
wisk together and let sit 2 minutes before making like a pancake.
8g fat
10.5g carbs
31.9g protein
6g fiber
