Giant Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
BUDGET RATIONALE
Why these meals: You get a different main every night this week: chicken thighs on Monday, ground beef on Tuesday, pork tenderloin on Wednesday, shrimp on Thursday, and a cheese frittata on Friday. The chicken thighs are only $2.97 for 3 lbs, which makes Monday's roast pan an easy win. Cabbage is $2.37 for 3 lbs and covers both Tuesday and Wednesday as a filling low-carb side. The 5 Hass avocados at $5.00 split across Thursday's shrimp salad and Friday's frittata plate. The squash and hothouse peppers you buy for Monday's roast come back in Friday's frittata, so very little produce goes to waste, and every dinner stays under 10g net carbs per serving.
