The 50 Best Low-Carb Foods , Plus Recipe Ideas & Tips
A 3 ounce serving of protein ( such as chicken breast ) along with 2 cups of non-starchy veggies like broccoli and peppers , a side salad with mixed greens and 1 – 2 tablespoons of oil or dressing . This would equate to even less than 35 grams of net carbs . If you added a starchier veggie instead , such as beets or turnips , you ’ d be consuming more carbs but still not many . To be considered a moderate or “ highcarb ” meal you ’ d have to add something like grains , fruit , an added sweetener such as honey or potatoes – which tend to have in the range of 20 – 25 grams of carbs ( or more ) per serving . Lettuce cups , or a “ collard wrap ”, �lled with things like veggies , sesame dressing and shredded chicken Fajitas made with a protein of your choice and lots of veggies Chicken or salmon burgers Empanadas or quesadillas �lled with grass-fed beef and cheese , made with an almond or coconut flour crust Cauliflower crust pizza And many more options like smoothies , casseroles and crockpot recipes
Healthy Low-Carb Foods vs . Unhealthy Low-Carb Foods
To be clear , just because a food or meal is low in carbs doesn ’ t necessarily mean it ’ s healthy ! In many cases , the quality of the carbs you eat is even more important than the quantity . For the sake of keeping processed / synthetic ingredients out of your diet , I recommend avoiding low-carb packaged foods — like most commercial protein bars or meal replacement shakes . These may provide fat and protein , and be low in sugar or carbs , but they ’ re still not bene�cial overall if they contain things like processed protein powders , refined oils and artificial sweeteners .
