Turkey meatballs. I have been experiencing with different ways to make them and I have began to use egg whites in my recipe to further raise protein levels. I store them in a devil egg Tupperware container and grab as I would a bad snack. They are low calorie, low carb, and high protein. I also pair these with spaghetti squash and chunky vegetable sauce for a great hearty meal. If your sodium levels for the day are good, another low cal, low carb, high protein option is deli meat. Buding has pre portioned 90 cal packs. Great for grab and go

Would you mind sharing your receipe???

Baked Parmesan Tomatoes are a great snack

As others have said, carbs are not the enemy! And the time that you eat makes no difference. In fact I always, always have carbs in my evening meal and I often don't eat until gone 9pm. I still lose weight when I want to.

I am a busy mother of two small children. When it comes to cooking I usually have to cook at least 2 different meals and cut them up into tiny pieces and incorporate more carbs for my husband who is underweight. Alot of the times I only have a minute or two to make my meal. Here's what I do to stay on track.

Cottage cheese and avocado and tomatoes with pepper.

Or cottage cheese berries and some honey.

Scrambled eggs with tomato and avocado.

White kidney bean salad ( white beans, avocado tomato onion lemon juice olive oil seasoning)

Greek yogurt berries granola

That's all I can think of right now. Obviously I have a thing for tomatoes and avocado but it is easy to shop for and I always make sure I have these things in my fridge. Also you will note that they are all high in protein so I stay full longer

This is why I buy a good bit of meat (Chicken Breast, Turkey, etc.) and eggs. I am on high protein/high fat/low carb centered eating . These foods are staples for those looking to limit their carbs or maintain/gain muscle as well. Don't discount all carbs though. There are good and bad carbs. The kind you get from veggies are ones you'll definitely want to incorporate into your eating.

When I don't have time for meal prep I usually go with lunch meat of some kind. Just wrap a few ounces of meat around a slice of cheese (I use pepperjack) and pound down some water with it to help increase fullness. Just my advice and what has worked for me. (Assuming you have no medical reason to avoid excessive sodium, otherwise high sodium is incredibly easy to counterbalance)

It may be helpful to prepare meals a day or so in advance too, that way you don't gotta scramble around for what you want and it's already good to go, just maybe in need of a little warming up.

I am currently doing LCHF and plan, purchase and cook my meals ahead. For example, tonight I steamed 300g of fresh salmon fillet and 300g brocolli and cauliflower. I then halved my portions, 150g salmon and 150g brocolli and cauliflower. Half of the cooked portion I placed in a Pyrex dish which has a lock lid and put it in the fridge for tomorrow. The other half I added 150 ml double cream (40%) fat and baked till creamy. I cook fresh food every second day, just a double portion and find it much easier.

Crockpot is a great idea. There are many recipes you can use. You can eat complex carbs just not the simple carbs. We need carbs more than anything. no sugar after 3pm.

I'm curious as well! Why no sugar after 3pm?

I believe the rationale behind not eating carbs late at night is that they are more likely to be converted to fat than stored as glycogen for energy. I dont know if this is really true. I know that Shaun T. from Beachbody recommends not eating carbs at night.

Not true though if one stays in calorie deficit. Overeating ANYTIME of the day increases fat accumulation on the body.

the whole no carbs after or don't eat after X time is a great check for any of the "fitness" people at the gym. Get a free session with them and ask about diet. The moment they start saying don't eat at X time because you body just turns it to fat can be ignored.

Plan your meals. Work out the calorie content of each one. Eat them when you are able to do so. So long as you don't start eating unplanned snacks it really doesn't matter.

japanese cold tofu, eggplant bacon, caribbean watercress salad with mango. I got ideas from the sidechef app.
