    You can't eat low carb AND low fat. You need to eat high fat when you eat low carb!

    For breakfast I do a protein drink with one cup of almond milk, 1 scoop of powder, and a cup of berries. Make sure you check the protein powder some are high carb high sugar. I use blubonnets.

    For lunch I do baked chicken with steamed green vegetables. Any kind on sale is what I purchase.

    Snack I have a bag of nuts, mainly almonds. Sometimes I eat celery or bell peppers or cucumbers.

    Dinner another protein shake only I use two scoops in the shake to keep me full all night.

    Good luck.

    I may actually take that into consideration. A friend of mine does the protein shakes and recommended it.

    Wow that shakshuka looks amazing! I'm trying that - tomatoes and eggs are my favorite things but I never would think to try them together.

    Lettuce wraps work well. I've been eating a lot of them for lunches while trying to get down to my goal weight. I've made Asian versions, taco versions etc. Using ground turkey keeps the fat down to a reasonable level, and using lettuce instead of something like tortillas reduces the carbs. You can increase the protein by adding things like beans too.
