If you eat LCHF, what do you always keep on hand in your kitchen?

[ILiveInFlipFlops]

I try to always keep the following in my kitchen:

 

avocados

bell peppers

goat cheese

good Swiss cheese

eggs

nuts

coconut oil

 

But I'm in a rut, and these aren't sounding as appealing as they used to. I really need to keep things on hand that I can prep and eat quickly or I fall off the wagon, so I'm looking for new ideas. I need to do a big cabinet clean-out and grocery shopping trip when we get back from this trip we're on. Any ideas?

 

:lurk5: (my last bucket before I get home *sob*)

Almond, cheese, and peanut butter. Pretty boring, but good staples for when I need a snack.

I'm still new to LCHF and looking for more quick ideas. My list would be more or less the same as above. I'd add:

 

butter

Costco bacon bits for throwing in the pan with the egg

Kerrygold Reserve Cheddar

Sunbutter, creamy version (has 3g sugar per 2 tbsp; I think it tastes much better than the version without sugar... :tongue_smilie:)

ground beef (I found some grass-fed pre-cooked patties in the refrigerated section of Costco - sort of for emergencies, I guess, though I'd still fry it up in a pan for a couple minutes)

olive oil

[freeindeed]

Cream cheese

Sour cream

String cheese

Natural peanut butter

Almonds

Coconut flour

Almond flour

Flax meal

Unsweetened cocoa powder

Liquid Splenda

Butter

Ricotta cheese

[Annie G]

A variety of veggies and eggs. I find that a frittata is quick to make and tastes different every time.

 

I keep bacon on hand for dh- he's always happy with bacon and eggs if I don't have time/inclination to cook a real dinner.

 

Currently we're eating lots of roasted brussels sprouts, fresh asparagus, avocado and tomato salads, and a small amount of strawberries.

Ditto the cream cheese, not so much hard cheeses. Also, the eggs and avocado. And bacon. And tuna. I make my own mayo, and I always keep up on it (I use olive oil). With tuna, eggs, bacon, mayo, and avocado, I'm a happy camper. :-)

 

I like to buy ground sirloin and make patties out of it and freeze them individually. Then they're easy to take out and nuke for a quick meal (with avocado and bacon and mayo, lol).

 

I used to keep peanut butter, but I looked more closely at the carb count and have decided that it's much higher than I want to eat.

Olive oil mayo (homemade)

Almond butter

eggs

Josephs Flax wraps, Eggs, Hummus, peanut butter, string cheese, cauliflower, salads, veggies, onion, peppers, roast chicken, mayo, butter, cream cheese, EVOO.

{lurking} I am addicted to bagels and the like, but I feel so much better when I am low carb or almost no carb...but, I run out of snack ideas, I do okay with lunch and dinner ideas but snacks, I got nothing, except natural pb on celery...I like that. I am also scattered and kind of lazy (busy, too) so if it's not easy to whip up, I won't.

 

so, a bunch of you mentioned almond butter, pb...what do you eat it on? What about tuna salad, what do you eat it on?

:bigear:

[Chocolate Rose]

Here's my list:

cream

cream cheese

sour cream

chicken broth

avocados

chicken thighs

chicken wings

chicken breasts

(I use the bones from the wings and thighs to make bone broth every week. I usually buy a Costco roast chicken several times a month and use those bones for broth also)

eggs

bacon

almond flour

coconut flour

stevia glycerite

erythritol

mayo

butter

frozen cauli

almond butter

coconut oil

pistachios

macadamia

85-90% cacao chocolate

Dutch baking cocoa

ground turkey (but thinking about making the leap to ground beef)

steak (buy when on sale and freeze)

shrimp

[Georgiana Daniels]

Chicken breasts

Beef (at least some)

Fish (we're just starting)

Salad fixings

 

 

Lots of different vinegars and oils. My new favorite is rice vinegar, and when paired with soy sauce and fresh ginger it makes an OUT OF THIS WORLD dipping sauce for chicken wraps.

:lol: HI! I am a newbie to this way of eating, but I have been doing it for 3 weeks and have lost 9 lbs and feel WONDERFUL!  So, take my advice cautiously as I am still learning.  And everyone does this thing a bit differently for them. I love to have Pepperoni and cheese on hand.  Also, my friend makes smoothies with full fat coconut milk and few berries and spinach.  (going to try that as soon as I get to the store!) Olives and pickles for snacks when I want something sweet will curb the cravings.  I am also doing Gluten free after learning how bad wheat is for you.  I have cheese and some sandwich meat for a quick something and of course veggies veggies veggies and most of the things the others added.  I bought an eggplant to do eggplant Pizzas! I am enjoying this way of eating and do not feel deprived at all. My friend recommended drinking a lot of unsweet herbal teas. I LOVE the apple cinnamon spice. You actually get a big taste of sweet on your tongue now and again.. enough to keep you happy.  Trust me before this I was a crazy sugar lover.  It has NOT been easy to give that up..but I am plugging along!  For the person that asked about eating tuna and pnut butter and what to put it on.. celery sticks.  Or take a cucumber, cut lengthwise and hollow it out - use it as your bread for tuna.  I just eat it plain sometimes (with Mayo of course!). Hope this helps!

Like the pps I keep most of the what's been mentioned on hand. One thing I *always* have on hand and consume daily is dark chocolate.
