Today I want to take a moment to share some more information about our low carb meal plans and how they are different than the standard keto or low carb meal plans out there.
Our approach is a bit different and one that we have found both works and is sustainable in the long term. We also think it's a healthier approach for anyone looking for a low carb plan that's lower in fat, cholesterol, and saturated fat. Just like our other plans, all of our plans include nutritional info and Green, Blue, or Purple points. That means this low carb plan can work for folks following calorie specific diets or WW.
Let's talk about our approach to low carb meal planning:
- Focus on lean proteins vs. higher fat proteins: Our plans include proteins like lean ground turkey, pork tenderloin, boneless chicken breasts and thighs, fish, and seafood. You won't see tons of bacon, high-fat ground meat, or fattier cuts.
- Includes lots of vegetables and fruits: This includes some that are not traditionally included in keto. Fruit and vegetables are so good for you and we include lots of fresh produce in our plans.
- Dairy: We include low-fat dairy options in our plans to keep fat and calories on the lower side. If you prefer full-fat products, they can easily be substituted.
- Balance: We strive to create a balanced, lower carb plan that's packed with healthy ingredients we feel good about feeding ourselves and our families.
- Nutritional info: All of our plans include nutritional info so that you can use them to reach calorie specific goals.
- Weight Watchers Smartpoints: We also include Green, Blue, and Purple points for those who want to do both WW and low carb at the same time!
Here's a sample of what a day in the low carb meal plan looks like:
- Breakfast: Zucchini, Turkey Bacon, and Cheese Egg Muffins with a low carb wrap and fresh fruit: 336 calories, 6 Green, 4 Blue, 4 Purple Smartpoints
- Lunch: Chicken Parmesan Zucchini Boats with green salad: 342 calories, 6 Green, 3 Blue, 3 Purple Smartpoints
- Dinner: Shortcut Chicken Cordon Bleu with Roasted Garlic Broccoli and mashed butternut squash: 414 calories, 8 Green, 6 Blue, 6 Purple
