Hi Everyone,

I'm 5 months post-op and have been doing great until very recently. Between taking classes and working full-time I have found myself grabbing "quick" meals and could use some help.

I've decided to take a day in the week to prepare some low-carb high-Protein freezer meals.

I'm going to start off with Breakfast and make some mini eggwhite and veggie frittatas with a recipie I found online. But I am having a difficult time finding other small portioned recipies that fit the low-carb high-protein bill.

Any ideas?

Try the search for.....the world according to eggface....she has some wonderful quick meals.

I was in the same place as you. What I did was start making make ahead meals, too. Google Eggface ... she has lots of recipes that can be made ahead. I use her site for inspiration. However my go to quick food is chicken. I season a pack of boneless chicken breast & thighs with garlic & herb Mrs. Dash & olive oil then put it on the George Foreman. Put them in individual freezer bags and I'm set. I have also done pork chops & turkey burgers, too. I can eat them anytime for any meal. I also eat alot of veggies. I cook 2 or 3 veggies then put them in little storage containers and freeze those too. Plain greek yogurt with a pack of Splenda & sugar-free fruit is something else I keep on hand.

I hope this helps ...

My lunches generally aren't foods that need to be prepared. My favorite is roast beef slices (lunch meat if I have too, but sometimes my mom spoils me and makes an actual roast) with a slice of cheddar melted on top. When I use deli meat it requires just enough time to put it into a container.

Sometimes when I know my time is going to be cut short I will just make extra the night before, so that I can have the leftovers the next day. The george forman is my best friend though. If I cook a thin piece of chicken or pork it is literally done within 2-3 mins. MAX. And during the couple minutes it takes to heat up I am normally prepping whatever i'm cooking. My forman has the removable grilling element thingies, so I just pop them into the dishwasher (it said it was dishwasher safe!). Easy peasy for me!

Another thing I sometimes make in bulk are meatballs. They freeze easily, re-heat easily and go down great! They take some prep work if you want to make them from scratch, or your can buy them pre-made. I personally am not fond of the pre-made, but you might find some you like. Sometimes I drizzle some tomato sauce and cheese over it for fake spaghetti. I just pretend that I already ate the spaghetti!

A favorite "snack" of mine is pepperoni chips! You buy the pre-cut pepperoni, put them on a paper towel on a plate, stick them in the microwave for a minute and voila! Crispy chips! Sometimes I sprinkle cheese over them before microwaving them... very yummy! Not so great on cals, but okay on Protein and zero carbs!

I made a big pot of chilli. Then put it in 4 oz containers.

Also, those pepperoni chips mentioned above are the bomb

Thanks for the website link ... just a quick scan of the site and I found a number of recipes I want to try. THANK YOU!

Chili, chili, chili... White chicken chili, regular, turkey... Mmmm. I work 12 hour night shift and I throw all my stuff in the crockpot and take a nap. When I wake up, my house is filled with amazing smells and yummy food. And it's freezable and fridge safe

I'm only a month out, but I have already stocked my drawer at work with these staples to be prepared:

Tender beef Jerky

Turkey sausage

Smoked oysters (canned)

Sardines (canned)

Starkist ready packs (100 calories) tuna salad

Canned shrimp

Canned Chili

Muscle Milk Lite ready drinks

Also, I cook up a bunch of Tilapia and then measure out portions and freeze in snack bags. I cook a meatloaf, but instead of using a regular pan, I use a muffin pan, then freeze each meat muffin. When I have any meat left overs, I freeze them in small portions, too.
