Do you prefer to eat low carb meals but need some fresh ideas? Here are 3 weeks worth of ideas for easy low carb meals on a budget!
Do you ever sit down to meal plan and draw a complete blank? I know I do. Even when I can think of meals I tend to get stuck in a rut and make the same ones over and over.
Lately we’ve been trying to cut back on our carbs (I know, SAD!!) This has definitely complicated meal planning for me because so many of our regular easy meals involve bread or pasta.
But, thanks to a little brain storming (and Pinterest!) I’ve come up with a decent list of easy low carb meals that work well for our family. I thought I’d share it here on the blog in case it might be helpful to any of you!

Easy Low Carb Meals – 3 Weeks of Dinner Ideas!
Burgers
These are one of my very favorite easy low carb meals! Skip the bun and serve them topped with cheese and avocado – YUM!
Crustless taco pie
Meatballs
(Just leave out the breadcrumbs!)
Parmesan chicken
Season some chicken breasts or strips however you prefer (just skip the breadcrumbs), top with tomato sauce and cheese, and bake for thirty-ish minutes. So good!
Salsa chicken
Roasted sausage with veggies
(like pictured below, minus the potatoes haha)
Chicken drumsticks
Again, I just leave out the potatoes in this recipe when I want a low carb meal.
Stir-Fry
(served without the rice)
Chicken salad served on lettuce
Charcuterie plate
This is the easiest meal ever – just fill a plate (or board) with a selection of meats, cheeses, veggies, olives, and nuts. Yum!
Frittata
Teriyaki chicken
Just skip the rice!
Rotisserie chicken
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Costco’s rotisserie chickens?!
Chicken soup
I like to make my soup with the rotisserie chicken carcass. Bone broth is so good for you!
Crockpot pork loin
Pot roast
Just substitute veggies for the potatoes.
Beef stroganoff
Breakfast for dinner
Sometimes nothing hits the spot more than some yummy scrambled eggs and bacon!
Greek salad with chicken
Taco salad
Just skip the tortilla chips!
Zucchini beef skillet
And there you have it! 3 weeks of easy low carb meals! Now you just need to figure out your breakfasts and lunches! (For a few ideas check out week three of my $50 grocery budget posts: Eating a Low Carb Diet on a Budget.)
