Poll of the Day > Carb-less meals that are tasty?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Going to try to start on a lite diet again so I can lose like 20 more pounds (trying to impress a gril).

So far I have:

• Basic grilled Chicken Salad
• Sichuan Mapo Tofu (no rice)
• Asian Lettuce wraps

---

I do grilled chicken, lettuce, fresh tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. Drizzle some balsamic vinegar on that.

Put some fresh basil in that and that sounds great.

Guacamole and pork rinds

Not carb-less, but I would go with Bacon & eggs for low carb.

If you want something that has the texture of eating rice, try "riced cauliflower". It's essentially cauliflower that has been chopped to the size of rice. It's low carb and can be fried or steamed and holds up well to just about any flavor profile you're going for.

Unless your bacon has added sugar, bacon and eggs is as close to zero carb as you can get. Though it's a bit high on the protein:fat ratio if you're going for keto.

I can second this. It's very obviously not rice, given that it tastes like cauliflower and not rice, but it does offer the same texture and functions well as a base for stir fries and curries and the like.

Simple but effective, I am going to have to write a list and post it to the fridge

I need to try some, I have always been a white rice purist but for a diets sake I need to go for trying this.

Thanks Kana :)

I get where you are coming from but I want to be the best version of myself for her.
I need to break some ice before I can try the next step of in getting closer to her and I think some rippling abs will help :o (or at least a flat tummy)

Crab meat is good, especially dungenous crab

You know what nobody's mentioned?
Soup.
Regular old.
Plain old.
Soup.

Vegetable soup doesn't have any carbs, make a nice version of that.

Well for me to enjoy it I would have to go the full nine yards.
Making my own vegatable stock first (which requires expending veggies first).

I would have to find a recipe I liked.

I second the crab post. Also shrimp.

What does crab cost where you live?

neither of those foods will clog your heart

Steak

Protein drink

Sashimi

Chilli

Real Crab is too expensive, especially for filling up a man who needs a hearty meal.

Shrimp is also delicious and more affordable but I wonder if my palate will stomach frozen shrimp over fresh sourced shrimp.

Youre right lol, twas a reactionary statement.

Never tried pork rinds but Avacados are delicious, maybe we can make some guacamole for a snack.

The rule of thumb is frozen shrimp is as good as slightly old shrimp, if it's straight out of the water, it's better, but modern freezing is actually very good.

Okay Chili works great.
Sashimi too expensive from a trustworthy supplier.
Steak is always good.
Protein drink is a good suggestion but doesnt taste great XD (plus we already got some whey protein on deck)

Okay okay, even if its the store brand frozen shrimp?
Guess we will just have to learn how to cook shrimp for some shrimp cocktails ;)

You can try those edamame noodles (and weigh it out) for a lower-carb alfredo pasta.

---

broccoli beef is p good

sad without rice tho

---

Okay we've already done the lettuce wraps, and shrimp.

Going to go to the store tomorrow or the day after to pick up some bacon and romaine lettuce for some BLT wraps.

TBH I want more lettuce wraps and mapo tofu as well.

But will try to pick up some vegetables for soup, maybe we'll do a beef and cabbage stew.

The ingredients would be a pain in the ass to get/make but I bet a pad Thai salad would be pretty Kick-Ass.

I might try to make a ground chicken burger but lettucevwrapped
