There’s been a few posts recently from people who follow a vegan/vegetarian way of life who were asking about combining it with low carb, so I thought I’d start a thread with some meal ideas, and the full nutritional breakdown (MyFitnessPal checked against labels for accuracy). Full disclosure - I’m ovo-pescatarian so eat some fish and eggs but will aim to keep this thread completely vegan.
This was a cauliflower couscous with kalamata olives, vegan kebab “meat”, mushrooms and spinach.
8g carbs, 35g fat, 42g protein.
I put a whole 300g tub of cauliflower rice in an over dish with a big sprinkle of Lidl couscous spice and baked it for half an hour at 200C, stirred every ten minutes or so. The rest of the ingredients were fried in the coconut oil until cooked, with a shake of tagine seasoning, mixed together with the cauliflower and then served.

No comments about the perceived awfulness of fake meat products please, many of us who can’t or don’t eat meat rely on them for protein.
