181 low-carb lunch recipes, curated by Bart van Dijk
For many people lunch is the hardest low-carb moment of the day: bread is quick, but causes an afternoon dip. These recipes prove it can be done differently.
Think meal salads with chicken or salmon, creamy soups, lettuce wraps and protein-rich bowls. Everything is made from unprocessed ingredients, fits a keto lifestyle and supports stable hormone balance.
Many recipes can be prepped the night before and taken to work. Every dish lists calories, protein, fat and net carbs per serving.
