Low carb Meal ideas and inspiration while taking weight loss injections

[BraOffPjsOn]

I couldn’t find a thread on meal ideas (or not a recent one) so I was hoping you’d all share some good meal ideas.

I’ve not been tempted by carby foods like potatoes, bread and pasta since starting MJ so I need some inspiration before it all gets too dull!

My main go tos have been:

Stir Fry
Salad - Caesar, hot honey with chicken or prawns
salmon etc with Mediterranean veg
omelette
scrambled eggs
coconut yogurt with fruit

I have also found some protein grains in Aldi which add some taste so I’m adding these to some meals too.

Shaksouka, gochugang mince and green veg with soy, chilli and curry without rice.

Oh wow the gochugang sounds amazing! I’ll definitely try that.
I’m back to work next week so I guess I just need to make sure I’ve got some stir fry or med veg with some of those foil dishes of salmon to keep it easy.

Yeah. The shopping and making sure you always have fresh protein is actually the harder start of staying low carb in my view.

Following for ideas...

Taco/cheeseburger/fajita bowls
Tandoori chicken with raita and kachumber salad
Korean chicken skewers with an Asian slaw, or Tesco has started doing an Asian chopped salad bag which is lovely and lasts me a few days
Dippy eggs using chicken sausages.
Meatzza with salad
Steak, asparagus and a roasted flat mushroom.
I quite like cauliflower rice with a curry or chilli and cauliflower mash with other things.
Savoury yoghurt bowls
I make a huge tub of cowboy caviar and just eat that over a few days adding whatever protein I fancy.

I made a creamy chicken tortilla soup with cottage cheese and lots of beans which sounds weird but was actually really good yesterday.

No real advice on meal prep but me and dh started MJ Jan 2025 and have lost over 12 stone between us and are both in our healthy bmi. We didn’t change our diet at all but MJ allowed us portion control and the ability not to snack. It’s been incredible.
