Hey all :)

I'm always generally good with breakfasts and have a few ideas. But lunch and dinner I always struggle because I always end up having too many carbs. My carb percentage on MFP is 25% and I'm always hitting the 50% mark. Always struggle with it.

Also any high protein meal ideas would be good. Low carb and high protein. Even better.

Thanks :)

    Hi. I am also High protein low carb. I do a shake in the morning with my coffee, a shake or quest bar for lunch with 2 cups of veggies, then 8oz of lean meat for dinner with another 2 cups of veggies, and a protein snack. I got a lot of recipes from Pinterest.

    I make chicken nuggets with reduced sugar ketchup for lunch. 8 oz chicken breast sliced to ideal size, rolled in 8g oat flour, pan fried with Pam and eat with 2 tbsp ketchup. I also eat 200g of fresh green beans on the side that I steam and slightly salt. Filling and low carb, about 340 calories I think

    My go to low carb meal is hot chilli (no kidney beans).

    I make mine high fat, low carb so I do not drain all the fat (makes it taste great).

    I'm doing Atkins, so high protein, high fat, and low carb. I've lost 6 kilos so far and finding it incredibly easy to stick to. Far easier than counting calories. And my cholesterol is in range for the first time in 20 years :)

    For dinner a quarter pound burger (home made from 20% fat mince) with green beans and broccoli. Or steak or fish instead of the burger.

    2-egg omelette with mushrooms and cheese.

    etc
