For reference, my current meal plan is below:
Breakfast:

- 20 oz Protein Drink or Amazing Greens drink w/MCT oil, strawberry protein & everly drink mix to taste
Lunch:
During Summer A Big Salad From The Garden with:
- Lettuce Cut Salad From Garden – or romaine/spinach mix
- 1oz chopped cashews
- 1/2 chopped apple or pear
- 1/3 cup shredded cheese
- Hot Giardiniera
- Olive Oil & Vinegar

During Winter A Big Medley Of:

- 1/2 cup frozen carrot slices
- 1/2 cup frozen broccoli florets

This meal plan has a roughly 32 carbs, which based on my previous eating habits feels about perfect for my body. If I want to mix in an optional dessert, it can be a rice cake with almond butter and a light dusting of erythritol, for an added 18 grams of carbs. Beyond that, I get plenty of carbs during social events and/or date nights. If I want to get fancy and cook a decadent meal I just find one from this website and follow along (https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes). Transitioning to this meal plan cut my monthly food budget from $600/month to roughly $250.
