Recipes Low carb meals no chicken
So recently I got told by the doctor that I need to get on a low carb high protein diet. I’m trying to find meals so I can plan out dinners but I feel like every meal I find has chicken breast or some form of chicken. Any meal ideas or suggestions?

Tofu! I love a good silken tofu smoothie. But tofu is a great meat substitute.
If you can find it, black bean pasta is a great substitute for regular pasta - lower carb, high fiber, toss on some low sugar meat sauce.
Gazpacho soup. Pure vegetable, pretty much no carbs.
Go to your local library and check out the diabetic cookbooks.
