4 Easy Low Carb Meals With Great Macros

Join us for the Fall 2016 Low Carb Challenge!

Yesterday I was completely wiped out from kayaking the day before, so there was NO cooking – well, unless you count whipping up a few eggs. 😛

That was a serious workout, lol.

Yesterday was a recovery day for sure.

Below are the four EASY low carb meals I had, along with my MyFitnessPal diary so you can see how I logged them.

My meals are actually pretty boring…

Sometimes I feel bad for not showing you more variety, but easy is NICE. People always ask me if I ever get tired of eating the same breakfast every day too. I don’t though, I love it! It’s so easy, it’s healthy, and it has perfect LCHF macros. 😉

But this morning… I did make something different!

I had eggs twice yesterday and my “low carb cereal” several mornings in a row, so today I made Low Carb Blueberry Cinnamon Crunch Crepes for breakfast. YUM!

You’ll see that in tomorrow’s food diary, so stay tuned! I used my basic Low Carb Blueberry Crepes Recipe, but just added a delicious twist.:)

Wednesday’s Low Carb Meals

I had my usual breakfast: 1/2 cup pecans, 1/4 cup Daisy brand cottage cheese, 4 small diced strawberries & 17.5 grams of blueberries. (6 net carbs, 85% healthy fat)

My first breakfast was super early. Later in the morning I had errands and an appointment, so I was near McDonald’s right around 10:30am – just in time to catch breakfast still being served! I ordered “2 sausage patties and 2 round eggs please” – which made for an easy second breakfast. 🙂

Later in the afternoon when I got hungry again, I just whipped up 3 eggs scrambled with colby jack cheese in real butter. Boring I know, but I was tired. 😛

Eggs are .4 carbs each, so this was 1.2 carbs total.

I rested as much as I could yesterday but still had to work, so I was wiped out by dinner. I just grabbed a “low carb snack plate” for something easy to eat.

It’s 30 grams of raw pecans, 2 mozzarella sticks, and 42 grams of Cranberry Nut & Flax Granola. That came to 5 net carbs and 79% healthy fats.

The low carb granola is delicious!

I’m officially addicted. 🙂

I found it on Netrition here. It’s 2 net carbs per serving & comes in 3 flavors: cinnamon, cranberry & cherry. Here’s a close-up so you can see the texture better:

Here’s My MyFitnessPal Diary for Wednesday:

I’m still below 140 pounds. 🙂

My weight is holding steady at 139.8 the last few days. It seems to take awhile for my weight to stabilize after a loss, but it feels like I’m finally at that point.

Usually after a strenuous workout like the kayaking I’ll see a temporary (slight) gain on the scales. That’s normal – it’s just muscle recovery. But not this time!

I’ve also been eating new “low carb products” like one low carb tortilla the other day and the low carb granola. No stall or gain! In fact, the only “result” I’ve noticed from that is being more *ahem* “regular” lol.

My total carb count (vs net carbs) and calories have been higher too, but I’m feeling lean (not bloated) and my weight is holding steady at it’s lowest ever… so all is well! 🙂

How are things going for you?

It’s day 18 of the 90 Day Challenge. How are you doing with your low carb meals & macro tracking? Any questions or struggles? I would love to hear your results so far.
