Low Calorie Menu
low calorie menus & food counts

These low calorie menus with food counts are quick and easy to prepare. If you are following either the (more strict) Paleo diet or the (less strict) low carb diet that we recommend at this website, it is NOT necessary to count calories. On the other hand, it is not harmful to have some idea of the food counts of a meal.

The best source of protein is wild caught salmon. As long as it is wild caught, it doesn't have to be sockeye salmon. All sockeye salmon, though, are wild caught.

Unfortunately, even wild caught salmon may not be free from mercury poisoning; it may be wise not to eat salmon more than once or twice a week.

Other excellent protein sources are halibut, herring, mackerel, and sardines.

It's important to eat a good salad every day. Of course, there are many different kinds of salads that you may include in a low calorie diet menu. Ensure, though, that your salads have sufficient protein and that their volume is about one quart.
