MemberHi, Laurie. With regard to your question about the menu, you can hand-select the foods to go into your meals through the Menu Planner subapplication. You reach this area by clicking on the circular arrow icon to the far right of each meal header, then following the directions there.

MemberHi, Jason47. The Trim Down Club has both a keto and a general low-carbohydrate path, so there are recipes for both. Anything that is keto, will be labeled as such – no worries. You actually are specified as having a keto diet here – just click on “My Menu” on the homepage, and you will see your keto menu, with portions calculated according to your nutritional need. At your current weight, you are allotted about 65 grams of carbohydrate per day. This amount will go down as you lose weight, to ensure that your portions are right-sized.

MemberHi, Locabay. The only meat I see on your current menu is the bacon in the Brussels sprouts in Snack #3. You can click on it to swap it out for kale chips.

MemberHi, 2056djbowers. I suggest that you use the subapplication of the Menu Planner so that you can select the specific foods to go into your menu, ensuring that they are only those requiring minimal preparation. You can get to this are by clicking on the circular arrow icon to the far right of each meal header, then following the instructions there.
You can search our recipe collection using terms like “quick,” “easy,” “simple,” “basic,” “classic,” etc. Below are some ideas for fast meals:
•Fresh and dried fruit
•Cut raw vegetables (free: Arugula, Broccoli, Broccoli rabe/raab, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumber, Radishes, Spinach, Sprouts, Watercress, Zucchini
•Oven-baked vegetable chips
•Nuts and seeds
•Trail mix combinations of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit
•Sandwiches – good breads with nut butters, hummus and similar spreads, tahini, canned or smoked fish, cheese, homemade “cold cuts” from fresh meats, egg salad, etc.
•Whole grain or Paleo crackers plus any of the above
•Hard-boiled eggs
•Sliced or string cheese
•Cottage cheese
•Yogurt
•Milk (dairy or vegetal), plain or flavored with cocoa powder and a recommended sweetener
•Hearty soup in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. meat or legume, vegetable, whole grain)
•Hearty smoothie/shake in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. fruit/vegetable, dairy/vegan, seeds)
•Edamame or other legume/pulse snacks
•Whole grain or Paleo cereal or granola (cold in small sealable bag, cooked in thermos)
•Canned beans
•Prepared healthy foods in containers – from leftovers or prepared the night or weekend before.
•Homemade whole-food muffins or bars
•Popped grains, i.e. organic popcorn, sorghum, quinoaSeptember 7, 2019 at 12:25 am #43813Locabay
