Eating low carb can be a lot of fun if you love cheese and tortillas. You’re probably familiar with the concept of choosing a wrap as opposed to a sandwich in order to eat less carbohydrates. And while it’s true that tortillas will have less carbs than bread, until recently […]

Caldo de Pollo is a perfect soup for cold weather… when it happens. Soups in general are an excellent way to feel full on less calories – see the energy density diet for more on that. There are as many versions of caldo de pollo as there are of chicken […]

Eggs! They’re a versatile breakfast that keeps and reheats surprisingly well. Eggs are a breakfast staple on any low carb diet plan but making eggs from scratch every morning can be a time-consuming task. That’s where recipes like this – which you can make in a sheet pan and cut […]

It also doesn’t require any reheating, so it keeps fairly well (it does require refrigeration though).  Because there’s no built-in serving size, this […]
