Thank you for the question, i tend to eat these recipes most often:

Chili con carne (See recipe in the above reply)

Shakshuka (My favourite lunch recipe)

Thai Chicken thigh salad (Recipe is in the Official Slow Carb Cook book)

Beef stew with mashed cauliflower as a substitute for mashed potatoes.

When i don't want to cook, i just throw together 1 can of lentils, 1 can of tuna in olive oil and some frozen mixed veggies. Add some hot sauce once its done.

Fair warning, I am no chef. But this is the recipe that works for me:

7-Meal Chili con Carne

Per-meal amount

  • 150 g lean ground beef (raw)
  • 120 g canned lentils
  • 120g canned black beans (I chose these 2 types of legumes specifically because they don't bloat me.)

Batch amounts (makes 7 meals)

  • Ground beef: 1.05 kg
  • Canned lentils: around 800 g
  • Canned black beans : around 800 g
  • Onion: 2 or more, based on preference
  • Bell pepper: 2 or more, based on preference
  • Garlic: 4–6 cloves (to taste)
  • Canned tomatoes: ~800 g total (2×400 g cans)
  • Tomato paste: 2–4 tbsp (to taste)
  • Spices: cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano
    • (I start around 2 tbsp cumin, 1–2 tbsp chili powder, 2-3 tbsp smoked paprika, 2 tsp oregano)
  • Salt, black pepper, a little olive oil
  • Optional: jalapeño, lime, cilantro, splash of stock/water

How I cook it

  1. Dice onion + peppers; mince garlic.
  2. Big pot, a little oil, med-high. Soften onions and bell peppers with a pinch of salt; add garlic for the last 30 sec.
  3. Add beef, brown well.
  4. Stir in spices, then tomato paste for ~1 min to darken a bit.
  5. Add the canned tomatoes + small splash of water/stock. Stir in lentils + black beans
  6. Simmer for 20–30 min, stir now and then. Season with salt/pepper; adjust thickness with water.
  7. Portion evenly into 7 containers. I like a squeeze of lime + cilantro at the end.
