Seafood Pasta with Konjac Noodles and Eggplant
Seafood pasta with eggs. I used NuPasta Konjak spaghetti, a can of Brisling sardines, a can of Rio Mare Salmon Fillet, diced shallot, two diced Indian eggplants, garlic/chili paste, salt. I topped it with two fried eggs for some extra protein. Super flavourful and filling.

We all know, if we are low-carb, that we should shop the perimeter (outer aisles) of the supermarket for real food. But when do we need to actually brave the inner aisles? Well, actually there are some great low-carb foods, pantry staples and helpful products that you can find in those scary inner aisles: Canned…

Middle Eastern Ground Beef with one small potato. A great meal to help me build up my blood again after donating a pint yesterday! Also, I am on maintenance, hence the potato.

Read MoreEnglish Banger Sausages and a Spicy Frozen Entrée

Middle Eastern ground beef served on a bed of diced, fried Chinese eggplant and potato, topped with sour cream. Delicious! Note: I am on maintenance, hence the small potato (~27 gm carbs). Also, I don’t eat much dairy, but I felt sour cream would round out this dish… and it did!
Read MoreBreakfast for Lunch
For some reason I wanted breakfast for lunch today! So I heated some Johnsonville, no-fillers, pre-cooked, original-recipe breakfast sausages from Walmart… and fried up three eggs.

This one has 10 gm total carbs and 18 gm protein. I question the protein number, as it had very little chicken in it! And…
