Can anyone share any exciting carb free meals? I keep trying to do fasting bloods to test my BI but we don't often have eggs in the house and looking through the cupboards most things have carbs in them. I'm struggling with finding food to eat that is mentally making me feel like I've eaten a meal. Any suggestions?

All I use is eggs, meat and cheese when doing carb free testing..........

Cheesy omelets with bacon is a favorite.......

Its only for a few days so I dont mind just having that or similar.....

Could you get eggs? Its sounds as if having them is an issue.... Exclamation

My partner doesn't eat eggs so unless I am baking in bulk we don't have them in the house as we (I!) don't get through a box before they go off. If I know in advance I'm going to do a proper carb free time then I can go out and buy them, but if I decide last minute (a far too frequent habbit) its harder. So no, having eggs isn't an issue, just needs planning!

The bigger issue with eggs though... having had years of 'you must have carbs' drilled in, although yours does sound lovely, my stomach just looks at an omelette without a slice of bread and says "and, where's the rest?". A low carb meal just feels like an anorexic meal to me... (at the moment...) hence request for inspiration!!

Although we cannot follow an Atkins diet for weight loss, their bars and sweets are really low in carbs and may help you
