Looking for great recipes, low-carb and HIGH protein

[rondawood63 0]

If any of you out there have a few favorite recipes that you have used once you were on "Regular food" again, I would love to see them. I am compiling a recipe binder for such items.

Thanks! :tongue2::thumbup::smile::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I went to our local library and check out some low carb cook books. I am trying to adhear to the same kind of diet...low carb, high Protein.

One that I tried recently is a chicken satay recipe... here it is.

3 whole boneless chicken breasts, skin removed

1/2 cup roasted peanuts

1 teaspoon mild curry powder

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons dark sesame oil

pinch of chili powder

Preheat oven to 325. Cut the chicken into 1/2 inch chunks and arrange them on the skewers evenly. Rest the skewers on a baking sheet covered with foil. In a nonstick skillet roast peanuts over medium heat until fragrant. let them cook a little and chop them coarse.

Put the nuts in a bowl with remaining ingredients, stir well and pour over chicken skewers. Bake 10 minutes and serve.

Protein: 10.6G Fat: 3G Carb: .5G

This recipe came from a book called "The Low-Carb Cookbook" by Fran McCullough. I like this book a lot! She talks a lot about how to stock your pantry and lots of other hints and medical type information...stuff for maintaining a low carb diet and why it is so beneficial.

Thanks for the recipe. I actually found some by doing a search for bariactric recipes also. Still looking for more. Just want to have some viable options once I can start on real food again! I don't want to get to the boredome stage and then do something stupid! LOL

Thanks again!

i know that Beans are a great source of Protein and just good for you but are you allowed to eat beans after being banded. say if they are pretty blended like refried and have cheese on them.

not banded yet but sure am gettin ready cant wait:lol:

You can eat Beans. I eat beans all the time and you don't have to smash them or anything. That's one thing my Dr tells me to eat cause of the low carbs and high Protein they have..So Yeah you can eat when you are banded..

I went to my dr yesterday and he told me that I can have 10-20 carbs a day. I told him that its so hard not to eat carbs cause it's in everything. So I look for things that say low carb on the package and to have only 10-20 a day..I am not loosing weight so he also wants me to write everything down that i am eatting. I think I was eatting to much carbs or to much of something for me not loosing weight. So it;s back to square one for me.

I make low carb cheesecake about once a week. My doc has me on 30 carb grams or less per day, so I gotta make each little carb count. Cheesecake works out to 2 grams per 1/12th of 9" cake. I top with canned whipped cream for 1 more carb. I use splenda and a liquid sucralose called sweetzfree. Bulk splenda has 24 grams per cup so you have to use sparingly. I make the Philadelphia "classic cheesecake" recipe (on line at Kraft) but omit sugar and use 3/4 c splenda and about 1/4 teaspoon sweetzfree (on line), I change up the vanilla for orange extract or sometimes coconut and rum extracts.
