Grilled chicken breast with Ina Garten’s summer corn salad. It looks dry, but it wasn’t! I did use half the oil and added some peppers.

No leftovers.

I just want to say that I love all these options you have in the U.S. Here in Australia I haven't managed to find all these great no carb options! You've all inspired me to extend the search!

If you can find the Aldi zero carb bread, I highly recommend it

I actually bought it this weekend and had it today for the first time with avocado and it was delicious!

So good that I *almost* can't believe it's Zero Carb

Modified sugar free crust less Fiber infused cheesecake

Rookie mistake thinking I could hand wisk this to a smooth texture...WRONG, taste delicious but not pretty

garnished with sugar free whip cream & macerated strawberries

nightmare world ahead: Does everyone know about the larvae in strawberries and the proper way to prep them? I just did it and it's true 😟

Cinnamon , vanilla and chocolate cake. banana muffins and burger Buns.

Burger Buns? I've only seen the sweet stuff on their website. This stuff looks indeed good. But yes, you're absolutely right: pretty expensive.

I think you Aussies (and I have no doubt we Germans as well) will catch up in time. When I think about the desert that was vegan food or gluten free food only several years ago, we have caught up quite well (or so I think, at least I noticed that the aisle with the gluten free products has grown a quite a bit). When it comes to low-carb I don't really pay attention, but my husband does. There are quite a few protein-breads available (that shouldn't be allowed to be labeled as "bread" though IMO) and I've seen low-carb muesli, Protein Bars, chips and the like.

I miss a good dairy-free cheese substitute though one can put on grilled sandwiches, casseroles and pizza. The substitutes I tried so far are all more or less 🤢.

There are a ton of coupon codes out and they do have a special on their imperfect Buns. 24 for $18. It’s still expensive but not as bad. I’m hoping they’re worth it. Only one store carries that brand near me and they are always sold out.

Sooo....question. I saw a lady on another group have a 80 grams Protein Breakfast. All I could think is how the f*** you do that, I struggle to get 15 in one meal. Any suggestions? 😁

Ask her what her meal plans are because now I'm curious 😅

Don’t really want to call this ceviche but I guess a tuna and shrimp salad? Used lemon instead of limes. Oh and the egg doesn’t make sense but I just felt like having one lol

Can't your body only absorb like 30 grams at a time or something? That's just silly.

Green Beans with tempeh and sweet & hot soy sauce. The leftover Klöße weren't the best match for that but it was ok. 😂

Running wild on the fusion kitchen (yes, I am using up the stuff in my pantry and fridge before vacation, lol): broccoli with udon noodles, yellow onion, fake grilled chicken and vegan "Pizzaschmelz" on top, greek spice mix.

Really complicated answer but in short, it depends.

I used to keep a digital folder of scholarly journals on this but lost them

Here's a few, dive in!
