Why this meal fits low carb
A composed snack plate beats random grazing. Measure nuts — they are easy to overeat. Olives and cheese fill fat needs when you are not hungry enough for a full meal after a fast.
Swaps
Swap almonds for macadamias (usually fewer carbs). Add cucumber if you want volume.
Meal prep
Pre-portion nut servings into small containers. Assemble the plate in 2 minutes.
Ingredients
- 3 oz cheddar or gouda, cubed
- 1/4 cup green olives
- 2 tbsp almonds or macadamias
- 2 slices salami (sugar-free)
- Optional: cucumber rounds
Instructions
- Arrange cheese, olives, nuts, and salami on a plate.
- Add cucumber if desired. Serve immediately or pack for travel.
Tips
Pre-portion nuts — they are easy to overeat and carbs add up.
