The secret of becoming a great low-carb cook is planning. Plan your low-carb meals in advance. Planning your low-carb meals makes managing carbs easier and, in the end, saves you a lot of time. When planning your meals, consider how long your dishes will take to cook:
Fresh fish cooks very quickly, and it’s full of nutrients and easy on the carb counts.
Invest in a slow cooker if you don’t already have one — start it in the morning, and your dinner will be waiting for you when you get home.
Throw whatever’s in the fridge into a low-carb tortilla, and you’ve got dinner. Or, scramble some eggs in the microwave, fold them in a low-carb tortilla, and you’ve got breakfast on the run.
Wraps are quick and easy, and offer so much versatility.
Get greens that are already combined, washed, and ready to go in a package in your supermarket’s produce department. Embellishments can make a salad a meal that’s quick, easy, and low in carbs.
You can experiment with new recipes when you have time, and you may even find a new favorite that cooks quickly.
