The easiest, cheapest low carb meal I cook is a 3 egg omelette with 1oz of cheddar + 1oz of swiss. Add in veggies like onions, peppers, tomatoes and what have you if you have them. I dollop of sour cream on top when it’s done.
Super yummy. If I eat one of those for breakfast I’m usually not hungry till 3 or 4pm.
Low carbing kids is a fantasy by and large. I have one child that *might*, *might* actually tolerate that. She loves veggies and omelettes and stuff. The rest would go on food strike. And whine. A lot.
Agnes, I doubt there are too many men worldwide that eat the amount of eggs I do.
When I moved to the country I raised free range hens. Real free range - like they go anywhere they want and eat bugs and grass all day. And get killed by bold day predators.
Anyway, I read that free range yolks were high in omega 3. I make omelets once in awhile but 5 out of 7 days in a week its 4 fried eggs I the morning. Fried in Land O Lakes Salted butter.
Forget the bacon grease crap, that’s for store bought eggs. You haven’t lived until you eat a free range egg that has a orange yolk. The salted butter is all you need for flavor and just a little pepper. If I see my daughter grab for the salt shaker she gets it.
It’s not a fantasy. My 6 year old loves low carb, but that what she’s grown up with. Her older siblings tolerate some, but teens have plenty of health to spare. Lol
