Being successful on a low carb or diet takes planning. You can't just wing it. Check out the tips I have for how to stock your kitchen for low-carb dieting. I have also found using one day to do some batch cooking to prepare snacks and recipe basics helps me do things more easily during the week. My first 7-day low carb meal plan focused on pork in the diet. For this week's 7-day low carb meal plan, I have a variety of protein sources. There are a few things you want to make ahead or at least in bulk on the day you need the food.
To start, be sure you have plenty of the items on this low carb pantry list. What is perfect to do at the start of the week, is to make a few of these things.
Hard Boiled Eggs - Easy to Peel
Ham or Dried Beef Pickle Wraps
Having these few meal staples already made will help you have quick meals and snacks all week long. I would also be ready to know where to go out to eat if you find yourself in a pinch ever. I am always looking for Jimmy Johns and 5 Guys locations so I can eat low-carb without struggling what to order. Both of these places offer lettuce wrapped sandwiches.
