What is the best thing you've eaten lately that was on plan for you? (Not something from a cheat, but something that was in line with what your current plan is.)

I like chicken breast with a chili sauce, some avocado, sweet potato and kale.

Otherwise grilled fish and garden salad.

Or lamb marinated in lemon with hummus and Greek salad.

Yummy

Just moving to soft foods and last night I made one of our family's favorite dishes - Crustless Four-Cheese Quiche (search taste of home for it). Probably not low fat, but definitely good protein and full of flavor. And soft! Hubby and I actually sat down for dinner at the same time and ate the same thing for a change! So nice and delicious! Of course, in the time it took me to eat a half portion, he had one and a half.....

Crushed pork rinds are ok to have? I can't imagine, but it sounds good!

For keto or low carb, yes pork rinds are ok.

It's not necessarily great but I just had leftover collard greens cooked in low sodium turkey broth. No I'm not a GRIT- girl raised in the South but I have enough kinfolk that were , so I'm a foster child. I'm actually in Ohio but I'm the only one in my immediate family that will eat " greens" and yeah they tasted pretty good.

Favorite on-plan meal is the "noodle" bake I make with spaghetti squash, ground turkey, low sugar tomato sauce (pizza sauce, basically) cottage cheese, and parmesan. Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I add a little mozzarella, just not the 1/2 in thick layer I would have in the old days. So super good! And the kids inhale it, which is a big win around these parts. We are trying a version with zucchini zoodles added to the squash noodles for a little extra texture.

I also make a yummy tomato soup with spinach, 3 kinds of beans, turkey sausage, feta, and tortellini, but I just dip mine out without the tortellini.

Most on plan I am is when I have mid day protein powder mixed into plain full fat Greek yogurt. (I add a bit of coconut water to have it mixable since it gets too thick). Then I see at the end of the day that I had enough protein. It always helps. Even if my breakfast and dinner are good, it all works better when I make sure to have this tasteless protein “snack.”

Im obsessed with tortilla pizza!

Homemade pea soup with homemade whole wheat bread:) Healthy Carbalicious:)

I'll start! Last night, I tried making breading out of crushed pork rinds and grated parm. It worked out fantastic. I crushed about a cup of spicy pork rinds as small as I could get 'em and mixed them with an equal amount of grated parm. We then took some boneless, center-cut pork chops and pounded them thin, tossed them in the "breading" and washed them in eggs (twice for each) and then pan-fried. The result? Zesty carb-free pork schnitzel. It was awesome, much closer to the real chicken-fried deal than I had any right to even hope.
Each little chop came out to 253 calories, 32 grams of protein and zero carbs.
It was terrific.

I can’t wait to eat solids again. This is now on my list of things to try!
