Hi There,
I am supposed to eat no carb dinners 5 nights a week. I have tried salmon, chicken..but i am running out of ideas for filling meals. If anyone has recommendations of good, filling, no carb meals that would be great!
thanks

    Salmon or any other kind of fish, chicken, eggs, a few ounces of cold cuts or tuna on top of a salad, shellfish, sushi, burgers...
    I find any kind of protein with a side salad is pretty filling.

    throw in a protein shake. Broccoli and spinach are great because the carbs that they have are fiberous. So your net carbs still come out pretty much nothing. :)

    I LOVE chicken! And extra lean ground beef.

    Why the no carb dinner?

    I always double up on the veggies with a 6 oz of a protien (chicken, fish, lean steak) changing the veggies, changes the meal

    I think spaghetti squash is a vegetable . . .not actually spaghetti . . .

    Why no carbs? Are you refering to veggies and fruit as well or just breads and things

    I actually only have brown rice or whole wheat couscous twice per week with my dinner. Every other night we have our lean protein and LOTS of steamed veggies or a big salad so our only "carbs" are from the veggies.
    I tend to try to eat the majority of my carbs during the day and leave them out of my dinners.

    Spaghetti squash is not pasta, it's a squash that comes apart with a fork and looks like spaghetti. Half a cup has 5 carbs. You're probably better of making your own marinara sauce (if you're feeling ambitious!) as most of the prepared ones do have sugar in them.

    Thanks! Any favorite recipes? How do you make the broccoli shake? Just something my nutritionist recommended..can intake vegetable carbs but no bread, pasta rice. I think the mroe carbs you eat at night they will turn into fats as you are less likely to burn them off

    You are correct. Just cutting the man made carbs at dinner time will do wonders. Anything your body doesn't recognise is stored as fat including all agricultural products. Insulin can only do so much.
