Low Carb Easy Recipe



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys, Im about... 2 months out almost 3 and Im having trouble finding something healthy and nice to eat at night time.

During the day I have a shake for Breakfast,(150cal) 2 cruskits with vegemite (70cal) a Meal Replacement bar (200cal) and another 2 cruskits with vegemite (70cal)

I just dont know what to have for dinner...

I would like something that i can cook a large amount of on a sunday or monday night and then eat throughout the week as I have a full time job, gym membership and Univeristy Study (which im actually undertaking a full time work load with ontop of my full time job) So I am very very stretched for time!

I was thinking maybe a quiche but I have no idea about recipe's or what not.

Ive been loosing pretty well (43lbs) and i have made a big tuna bake but this is not healthy but rather a cheap and time effective dish that I can make in half an hour and will last me all week...

The weightloss has slowed down though even with the increased exercise (muscle vs fat I know)

Anyway, question is:

What do you guys eat for dinner? What can I eat for dinner?

Thank you all =)

If you have a slow cooker, you can make chili on a Sunday and have it for the week. You can even cook it and freeze it ahead of time.

I have to cook and freeze for the week as I'm workign full time and afternoons after work are full on with the kids - basketball and footy training etc, I just dont have time to cook Monday to Thursday.

I make a lot of things like curries and Soups. I might serve a beef curry on steamed Beans rather than rice - I dont low carb it personally, but within a meal when you cant eat a lot, I think the Beans are a better bet than the rice. I give the rest of the family brown rice.

Soups again I may throw in a garlic bread to go with a minestrone or vegie Soup, but I rarely eat it myself, the Soup on its own is usually enough. I always make a shepherd's pie when we have roast lamb (you cannot make a REAL shepherd's pie with mince, lol) and again, that's easy enough to serve without giving yourself a whole heap of the potato on top of it. Doug cooks up a great chilli too.

If I were you though, I'd make a few things and portion them into meal sizes - if you spent one weekend making four dishes, that woudl give you a ton of meals if you froze in individual portions and then once a week just make another one and then you have variety. Its not very healthy for you to eat the same thing night in night out, you dont get all your nutrients that way.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
