Fast, Easy Low Carb Food Ideas, Plus: Date Night Dinner!

I dirtied exactly ONE skillet in two full days of low carb eating, lol.

Call that lazy or smart, but either way at least there weren’t many dishes to do! 😛

That’s mostly because I’ve been home alone, eating low carb for one, and super busy with work this week.

Then there was “date night” last night, which was a beautifully delicious low carb dinner – with no cooking! 🙂

You can see what I ate on Wednesday here too, which wasn’t much (only 10 net carbs) because I had a full day between working and hiking.

I’m still pondering “my find” from that post ^ too, btw.;)

I hope these food diaries and low carb meal ideas prove helpful to you when you need something quick & easy, or you’re looking for ways to mix things up a bit.

My Low Carb Meals on Thursday

For breakfast I had my favorite healthy LCHF food combo: 1/2 cup (60 grams) of pecan pieces, 1/4 cup Daisy brand cottage cheese and 4 sliced strawberries.

It’s one of my low carb staples because it’s SO easy, and because it has perfect LCHF Macros: 5 net carbs, 85% healthy fat.

I also finished some sausage & fried eggs I had leftover from McDonald’s later that morning. There wasn’t much of it, and it wasn’t worth taking a picture of (lol).

For lunch I made a plate of delicious low carb foods: strawberries, pecans, Lily’s Sugar Free Chocolate and peanut butter. Yum! 🙂

For dinner I made a simple plate of cheesy eggs: 4 eggs scrambled in real butter with colby jack cheese (cubed off the block):

My Low Carb Meals on Friday

I had a beautiful low carb breakfast. 🙂

I ate two Coconut Smart Cakes (which are zero net carbs!) topped with kosher cream cheese, fresh strawberries and pecan pieces:

You can order these on Netrition in 3 flavors here.

That was such a delicious “sweet & crunchy” combo! 🙂

I had a super busy work day, so I just grabbed 1/2 cup (60 grams) of pecan halves to eat at my desk for lunch:

I met Aaron for dinner and enjoyed another BEAUTIFUL meal of Porchetta (Italian Pork Roast, super tender & stuffed with herbs) with asparagus and broccoli.

I spread a pat of real butter over the herb-roasted pork steak, making it even MORE rich & delicious!

I was only able to eat about half of that, so I brought the other half home and had it for my lunch today. 🙂

I had a GREAT time hosting the Low Carb Classes this week, and really enjoyed the great discussions we had in those classes. 🙂

All three replays are now available, so you can get instant access to those & enjoy all the great training. Plus I’m doing a BONUS 4th live session next week!

I found a brand new place I want to go hike, and I’m feeling antsy for some sunshine and SERIOUS exercise, so that’s what I have lined up for tomorrow. That and potting some houseplants I rooted, which I’ll probably do over coffee & sunrise in the morning. 🙂

How are things going with you?

I would LOVE to hear how things are going with you now that the summer is starting to wind down, and how your own low carb journey is going…
