Does anyone have some good high protein / low carb recipes?

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.

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.

I would love some higher protein recipies that are vegetarian, if anyone has any!

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.

I make tuna salad using cottage cheese instead of miracle whip or mayo. very good and lots of protein.

I would have never thought of this. Thanks!

When I use to eat meat I would do a lot of chicken salad.
Boiled chicken
Greek yogurt
Little lemon juice
Some diced up apple
Serve on top of lettuce

bump. Trainer just told me I neeed to up protein and lower carb.

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!

Thank you!!

To expand on your leftover chunks of chicken....

In a non-stick skillet, sautee' a handful of Rainbow Slaw (shredded broccoli), sliced onion, pepper, minced garlic and some celery slices in a tsp of olive oil. Stir till almost tender. Salt/pepper to taste and add your fav. spice.

Make a "well" in the center of the veggie mixture and add 2 TBS of chicken broth. Then lay a wedge of Laughing Cow Light Cheese (regular flavor or one of the new flavors such as Chipotle, or Blue Cheese) in the well and smoosh it till it melts into the chicken broth. Stir through the veggies. Add the chicken. You can also add a handful of fresh spinach leaves and stir until wilted and coated with the sauce.

I have a simple spicy chili recipe.

Ground turkey, 2 8oz cans of tomato sauce and a can of dark kidney beans.

Brown the turkey meat, pour in the tomato sauce and kidney beans (drained) then add McCormick's spicy chili mix. The longer you let it simmer the better it tastes. But it is quick and easy if your in a hurry.

This feeds 4-5 people. Each serving size is about 1 cup.

325 cal.
29 carbs.
3 sat. fats
31 protein per serving

Sometimes I add 1/4 cup of shredded fat free cheese (Kraft)

Enjoy!
