Low-carb meal plans: Quick and easy

Low-carb meal plans

Do you need a simple low-carb meal plan that requires little-to-no cooking time? We understand that your time is precious, so we've curated our most popular quick and easy low-carb meal plans below. Most of the recipes take 30 minutes or less to cook or prepare. Dig in!

Moderate low-carb meal plans

A moderate low-carb diet restricts carbohydrate intake without being as restrictive as the keto diet. With our low-carb meal plans, you'll have more flexibility to decide how much you want to restrict your carbs. We recommend that people who follow a moderate low-carb meal plan stay between 20 to 50 grams of carbohydrates per day.

One of the primary reasons you may consider a low-carb diet plan is to support weight loss - but a low-carb diet plan is also beneficial for reducing the risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Others may decide to start a low-carb diet to help eliminate inflammatory sugar from their diet and focus on consuming more whole and nutrient-dense foods to support overall health.

Do you love food that looks and tastes gourmet, but is in fact super simple to cook? Who doesn't? Well, we have the perfect low-carb meal plan for you. It's easy to make, yet fancy, too. To make it even simpler, you'll be skipping breakfast on weekdays.

What's on the menu? Creamy chicken dishes, flavourful cod, and a delicious, classic - but of course low-carb - beef stroganoff. On the weekend you'll indulge in a nut-free keto bread that's great for toasting. Bake the whole bread, use what you want, and then freeze the rest. It will also keep in the fridge for four or five days.

This meal plan keeps you below 32 g of carbs per day.
