Can anyone suggest some high protein low carb meals please?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

I’m starting weight loss injections on Monday and I’m determined to do it right, with eating properly etc.

Has anyone got any meal suggestions? Cook books or websites would be handy too! No fish/seafood though.

Thanks in advance!

We tend to eat the same meals but lose the carbs. So last night eg we had chicken in a creamy honey and mustard sauce with loads of different veg - no potatoes. Plate was still full. As were we!

Or a meat curry with a small naan (the mini ones) with no rice.

we love a hot and sour soup with loads of veg in (and prawns but any protein will do!) and a Very small amount of noodles in.

just ditch the carb. It’s there to fill you up which you might not need anyway if you are on the jabs.

Last night due to a shopping fail I realised I had nothing in except two chicken breasts, two bell peppers and half a jar of pesto.
Delicious!

Cheese omelette with spinach

Stir fry with cashews/peanuts, chopped vegetables like peppers and broccoli, chicken/tofu

Grilled courgettes with grated cheese and walnuts, with a side salad of beans, olives & Greek yogurt

Steak and boiled eggs is my easy go to
or chicken breast and boiled eggs

Courgetti ‘noodles’ with decent pasta sauce eg puttanesca & feta
cauliflower rice instead of real rice (frozen bags are convenient)
egg based dishes

Chicken breast with ham and cheese and steamed veg.
Chicken and coconut curry with veg (substitute any protein) and cashew nuts for extra
Stir fry with beef, chicken or tofu (make sure sauce isn't sugary)
Fajitas with no wraps or lettuce
Chilli without beans (beef, turkey mince), salsa, avocado, salad sides
Lazy lamb - lamb joint in the slow cooker with red wine, rosemary and garlic, thicken the liquid with cornflour or arrowroot and veg
Cheese omelette with extra veg and/or salad

Good books to start with are the Fast 800 Keto, and anything by Scott Baptie. Start with the principles of lean protein and lots of green/leafy vegetables.

Some of my quicker 'go-to's are:

Thai curry (using a ready made paste) with loads of veg (broccoli, green beans, sugar snaps, aubergine, cauliflower and a handful of baby corn/carrots but take it easy on those) and a protein. We're vegetarian so I use tofu or boiled eggs but you can throw in anything you fancy.

Egg roll in a bowl; stir fry grated carrot and cabbage with minced tofu/pork/chicken. Add soy/oyster sauce for flavour and top with finely chopped spring onions and a sriracha mayo.

Halloumi, courgette and tomato stew; just cube halloumi and courgettes, dry fry with a wee bit of garlic so they go a little crispy on the edges and then add a can of tomatoes (the cherry tomatoes are really nice in this). You can also add white beans (butter/cannelini if you don't mind a few carbs). Season and I add some chilli flakes for taste.

Taco salad (I make taco 'mince' with finely chopped walnuts and mushrooms but obviously you can just use regular mince) with kidney beans, tomatoes and chipotle. Make a chopped salad (lettuce, cucumber, avo etc.) and top with the warm taco meat then top that with sour cream/greek yoghurt with lime juice and a little cheese.

All of these are really easily adapted for anyone not eating low carb with added rice/noodles/bread/taco shells.
Best of luck with the weight loss!

Thank you all for the suggestions!

Add eggs and or seeds to everything.

Breakfast - eggs, bacon, grilled tomatoes & mushrooms

Easiest way I’ve found is just to stick to meat and 2 veg style meals or swap out carbs for green veg.

if DD and DH want lasagna then I hold back some of the meat in red sauce and use it to stuff peppers or mushrooms for me then bake it alongside.

if they’re having spaghetti bolognaise I have green beans instead of spaghetti. Chicken breast with roasted broccoli instead of chips or wedges, pork loin steaks with stir fried sugar snap peas and babycorn.

Just don't put the carbs on your plate. This week my evening meal was:
Salad and a burger.
Grilled fish and steamed veg.
A chop with grilled tomatoes.
Sag paneer with nothing.
Poached eggs, fried mushrooms and shredded cabbage.
The rest of the family had a bap, new potatoes, quinoa, parathas and garlic bread respectively. But you don't have to have it.

I like " Caesar salad" . Just romaine lettuce, chicken thigh, bit of bacon and a bit of parmesan cheese.
I cook the chicken and bacon in the air fryer. Pack it up for lunch. Relatively cheap, simple to make and yummy.

Mushroom omelette

chicken and veg stir fry without noodles

salmon and Mediterranean veg

fajita bowl- basically the filling of a fajita in a bowl with salsa and guac on top

Mozerella tomato rocket salad with pesto dressing

Sausage and roasted veg tray bake

You can make a very filling quiche with a ground almond base instead of pastry. You use egg white and butter to bind it and then bake for 20 mins before putting on the topping and re baking.
Its not low calorie but it is low carb and a small amount is very filling!
