Thread: MM's Healthy Low Carb Salad

I make this salad quite a bit and after I chopped and put the ingredients in a bowl I decided to take pics of the rest of the process. I do like my protein, but this one has no meat (heaven forbid). lol. Protein comes from the eggs.


First, chop up some raw veggies that you like. I used celery, cucumber, mushrooms, radishes, and red peppers, and threw in some cubed feta cheese into a bowl. I also added some Kalamata olives.. yum!




Next, I have two things boiling on the stove.. hard boiled eggs (ten mins after boiling) and my low carb pasta (rotini). The pasta has about 7 grams of carbs which is half decent for lunch. I try to eat under 50 grams of carbs a day, sometimes up to 100 g.

Eggs are a boiling. Make sure you boil them for ten mins or you will get soft boiled eggs which are a bit runny.







After the eggs and pasta are done, rinse them in a strainer under cold water for about five mins.






Peel your eggs.. Let me just say eggs are the best thing around....




Add the pasta into your salad (veggies)



Slice up those yummy eggs, and put them on top.


I use low carb Balsamic dressing.




Add spices to suit. I like Dill Weed, Garlic powder and Sea Salt.


Then it is time to enjoy this healthy tasty salad. If you have time you can chill this in the fridge for a bit and it tastes even better cold.
Bon Appetite!

So what makes it "healthy"?

How the hell is a pasta salad low carb?

A great demonstration of how someone who's been 'dieting' for over a decade can still be obese.

Its the second or third time she has put up low carb meals that are fattening..

She really is clueless. Fun fact - the suggested serving size for cheese is two small cubes, roughly the size of a pair of dice.

Second or third?

She had a whole thread going chronicling her love of frying and getting her rather underwhelming jugs out.

Because whenever you post drunk you repeatedly make an utter tit of yourself.

You'd been doing OK by your standards for a while.

PB always has liked a big portion.

I don't see any of those posts as you are all on ignore! LOL.
I've lost 30 pounds doing low carb, so you can all stick it you know where.

I know there was a reason why I stopped posting on TD.. too many idiots that are now crawling out of the woodwork. Cya!

Flounce #11,567.

The 6 pack of sponge-cakes sitting on the right, probably less so.

Kinda like the other obese poster on here, he buys sports equipment, that then sit idle and unused while he gorges his slob hole, you buy healthy-ish food, but wolf it down in servings sized for 4 healthy sized people.

Boiled eggs

Pasta

Pretty healthy.


Presuming that this serving size was for 3 or 4 people.

How many people was it for?

First off, it is healthy. It is mostly raw vegetables. The program I am on has portion sizes in bags. This pasta is 7 grams of carbs which fits into my three meals a day where I only eat veggies the rest of the day with 8 oz of meat. I added the cheese and olives because I am doing keto. Fat is good. The dressing is super low carb. The pasta isn't your normal pasta.

The cakes are not mine, I live with a few other people who eat pretty bad and leave shit like that on the counter which I've had the willpower for almost four months not to eat.

It's no-carb pasta?

How is it not normal?

Brand and type will do ... I can research it myself

so you’re on a programme of portion sizes, you are not supposed to add extra pasta cheese and olives to it because then it’s over!

Nothing from dil approaches PB's level of self-delusion, though.

Although the whey protein is pretty fucking funny.

PB can kill two birds with one stone with this one. Combining her other fried diet meals with salad..

Southern Fried Chicken Salad, topped with mayonnaise.. It just screams Healthy!!

Next time you do it MM, make it half the size. 1 egg, half the amount of pasta, stick to 2-3 cubes of feta.

As mentioned though, her key problem is those enormous portions she scoffs.

She would make the dish above check in at a thousand calories, easy.

There's a 4 pack of jam tarts behind the bowl in the first pic, and a 6 pack of sponge-cakes next to it later on.


Fooling no one MM.

Her target always seems to be to get down to merely 'obese' from a starting point of 'morbidly obese'.

Hence the cries of 'I lost 30 pounds!', tellingly making no mention of the start weight or end weight.

That's her reward for eating healthy.
