1 can (15 oz) of white beans
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
mixed peppers (black, white, green) or black pepper (powdered; optional)

How to Prepare:
Lentils salad, as a very healthy low carbs food, could not be easier to prepare: open the lentils can, wash and dry them. Do the same for white beans and put them in a salad bowl. Add salt, pepper (according to taste) & vinegar. Mix, serve and enjoy! Simple, huh?

Caloric value, carbs and other ingredients:
Extremely easy and quick to prepare; pepper is optional. Lentils is one of the healthiest foods. While it does contain 60% of carbs in total, 31% are fiber and only 2% are sugars – or “bad” carbs. Similarly, white beans also contain only about 2% sugars.

Ingredients:
4-5 fresh tomatos
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas (garbanzo beans, ceci beans)
1 onion (optional)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
black pepper (powdered; optional)
salt

How to Prepare:
Wash the tomatos thoroughly and slice them. Peel the onion & slice it – optional; if you do not like onion, do not use it Add some salt and pepper. Add vinegar. Add a can of chickpeas to the salad. Mix everything together – finished!

Caloric value, carbs and other ingredients:
This salad is very easy and quick to prepare; onion & black pepper is optional. As mentioned in other recipes, chickpeas do not have a very low carbohydrate content, but they do have the “good” carbs – with low glycemic index – and a lot of cholesterol-lowering fibre as well as vitamins and minerals, natural healthy fats and oils and a blend of enzymes.

Again, as mentioned, chick peas do contain about (mostly “good” ones) 23% carbs.

Because of the situation we’re in, I’m going to concentrate a lot of my posts on cheap low carb snacks and foods. Sure, in general, going on a low carb diet will hit you in the wallet, but, there are ways to eat on the cheap when low carbing, and let me start of with a quick snack that won’t drain your bank account

Meat & Cheese Roll-Up

This is one of my favorite go-to low carb snack foods out there. It’s really, really easy and only takes about a minute to fully prepare. Heck you can even make a meal out of this depending on your hunger level.

First, go to the store and get a big package of deli ham, beef, salami, or any other carb free or low carb meat. Don’t get it too thinly sliced, and on the other hand, don’t get thick sliced either. Somewhere in between is perfect.

Second, find a good deal on a big brick of your favorite cheese. Usually at any grocery store, you’ll find quite a few cheeses on sale at any given time.

Okay, when you get home and are ready to eat, just get out 4 slices of the meat. You’re going to put 2 slices together (or whatever you prefer), so you’ll have 2 stacks of meat in front of you. Set it aside.

Get out the cheese, and slice off two generous slices of it, about a quarter to half inch thick. Put this in the microwave until it just starts melting, and then take it out. Quickly scoop up the melting cheese with a spoon and smear it on the meat stacks. (Picture it like a tortilla shell with melted cheese in it). Put a dab of mustard or mayo in it, and salt and pepper to taste, roll it up, and VIOLA! You have a very filling and tasty meat and cheese roll-up!

I’m a pretty big guy, and two of these is more than enough to curb my hunger for hours, although on occasion, I’ll make 3 or 4 of these and eat them for dinner. It’s very yummy and you can get quite a few of these out of a pound of meat and a brick of cheese. So have at it! Let me know if you make them and if you liked it in the comment section below!

Anyway, one VERY quick and filling dish I came up with one night is nothing new, nothing special, however, it has virtually no carbs and tastes GREAT!

I call it SMO, which is short for “steak, mushrooms, and onions”.

Making this dish is so easy that even I can do it…so I know you can.

Ingredients:

1. One package (usually around a pound) of “stew meat”. It can be found in your meat department…it basically looks like a big steak chopped up into 1-2 inch cubes.

2. One small onion, cut into whatever kind of sections you want.

3. Half package of fresh mushrooms

Directions:

1. Get out a skillet (preferably with a cover) and turn the heat on medium to medium high.
2. Throw a couple tablespoons (or more) of butter in there.
3. Dump in your package of meat, and let it just get brown, and then…
4. Dump in the mushrooms and onions
5. Add your choice of seasonings (I like to throw in some garlic and onion powder, with perhaps a splash of Worcestershire sauce).
6. Stir it all up, cover, and let it cook for like 7-10 minutes (however you like your steak).

You end up with tender steak chunks and nice sauteed onions and mushrooms smothered in seasoned hot butter. How can you go wrong? Plus, the “stew meat” only costs a few bucks, and mushrooms and onions aren’t that expensive. It’s a nice little dish that will leave you filled up to the max. As a matter of fact, if you eat a salad or something with it, this can easily stretch across two meals.

I’ll post a picture of it the next time I make it (which will probably be this week!).
