For example, buy pre-shredded packs of chicken breast, pre-chopped onions, or pre-shredded cabbage.<\/li><li>Skip all chopping work by assembling your salad using your local grocery store&#8217;s salad bar.<\/li><li>Make a week&#8217;s worth of salads, soups, or stews ahead of time, like on a Sunday. To keep the salad as fresh as possible, store the dressing separate from the salad. Soups and stews can be divided into individual portions and refrigerated\/frozen.<\/li><li>Lunch can be leftovers from your previous day&#8217;s dinner. Even though I usually only cook for two, I welcome dinner recipes that make multiple servings so that I can enjoy leftovers the next day. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Cooking Tip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Flour and corn starch are common thickeners for soups and stews. If used in a small quantity, they are fine because the carb impact per serving is low. However, two ways to avoid them completely is to (1) use a pinch of xanthan gum, or (2) boil the soup or stew until enough liquid has evaporated to significantly thicken the soup (this could take 10 to 20 minutes).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<em><a href=\"#jump\">(back to top)<\/a><\/em>\n\n\n\n<a name=\"dinner\"><\/a>\n<h2 class=\"ST-lineheader1\"><span class=\"ST-lineheader2\">Dinner<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Don&#8217;t:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Grain-based foods, like bread, sandwiches, burgers, lasagna, pasta, pizza, flatbread, breaded meat, rice, burritos, tacos, potstickers, quinoa, cous cous, etc.<\/li><li>Starchy vegetables, like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and beans.<\/li><li>Anything that isn&#8217;t just meat and vegetables, including sugary sauces and dressings.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Any kind of protein, like chicken, beef, pork, seafood, or other meats.

Just toss a bunch of vegetables like bell peppers and onions with your protein of choice, add a sauce, and you&#8217;re done.<\/li><li>Casseroles are also easy and hassle-free.

If you have access to a Costco membership, the Kirkland brand is very affordably priced for nuts.<\/li><li>Buy cheese crisps by brands like Whisps, Moon Cheese, and Parm Crisps. They are usually almost 100% cheese and quite low in carbs.<\/li><li>Buy pork rinds, also known as cracklins and chicharonnes. These fried pork rinds work great as a crispy, zero-carb snack if you don&#8217;t mind the smell. You can also smash them into fine bits and use them as breading for meat, in place of panko breadcrumbs.<\/li><li>Buy seaweed snacks, which are lightweight packages of thin sheets of seaweed. They&#8217;re fantastic when lightly salted.<\/li><li>Buy beef jerky, but watch out for ones with added sugar. Always check the nutrition label to see how many net carbs are included per serving.<\/li><li>Buy protein bars such as Quest bars. They&#8217;re usually sweetened with erythritol. I don&#8217;t like the taste of keto protein bars, but many people enjoy them.<\/li><li>Buy deli-style pastrami, salami, or turkey slices. You can wrap them up  with a stick of cheese inside.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Tip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Select non-perishable snacks if you&#8217;re traveling and want to stay in ketosis.
