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.

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.
