Creating nutritious, delicious menus can be tricky when you’re on the go, especially if you’re trying to count carbs to lose weight. Here’s a 7-Day Menu Plan with Low Carbs to start you on the journey to a trimmer, slimmer you.

Along with watching carbohydrate intake, one of the most effective weight loss strategies is to make sure you’re eating three small meals and two healthy snacks each day to keep blood sugar stable and avoid processed food snack attacks. When you’re ready to munch between meals while using a low-carb menu plan, smart good carb snacking choices include fresh fruit and veggies, dairy (like low-fat Greek yogurt), and whole grains.

Remember, this low-carb menu plan is not set in stone. Feel free to mix and match dishes to suit your schedule and tastes. Find additional low-carb recipes and ingredients by checking out:
