Giant Low-Carb Meal Plan

📅 Week of October 21 through October 27, 2026 🍽️ 4 people low-carb
Advertisement

BUDGET RATIONALE

Why these meals: Since you're shopping Giant for four people on a low-carb plan, I built the week around proteins and vegetables that are on sale, so you won't need to hunt for swaps. Pork shows up twice, as the pan-seared tenderloin on Monday (1 lb for $3.99) and the oven-roasted ribs on Friday, with green beans and broccoli keeping the sides carb-light. Your 2.5 lbs of broccoli covers both Tuesday's baked salmon and Friday's ribs, and the single pack of lemons stretches across Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday's rotisserie chicken lettuce cups are the quickest night at 15 minutes, while Friday's ribs take the longest, so rub them the night before and the bake is easy.
