Pamela's pancake mix. Light fluffy pancakes every time. Also, redditors, don't give me crap about how easy it is to make pancake mix.

Raw Meal chocolate replacement meal. This is my breakfast everyday. I drink it with almond milk. Doesn't taste good with regular water. Whole Foods sells this for $50-60ish.

Tamanishiki Super Premium Short Grain Rice. Only applicable if you have a rice cooker. Best rice I've ever cooked. Maybe cheaper if you have an asian market near you. I do not, so I bought this. I bought this bag for $22 last time.

I used Betty Crocker's recipe as a starting point. All I did was sub Carbquik for Bisquik and heavy whipping cream for milk.

Keto Sausage Cheese Balls

• 3 cups Original Bisquick™ Carbquik mix
  
• 1 pound uncooked bulk pork sausage
  
• 4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (16 ounces)
  
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
  
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crushed
  
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley or 1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes
  
  Instructions: Mix everything together well. Roll into balls about one inch in diameter. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes. (I was able to mix, roll, and freeze them at home. I baked them at work in the toaster oven from frozen and they came out fine! They taste very much like the original recipe which I've had several times now.)
  
  Makes about 100. Betty says 102. I got 93.
  
  Nutritional Info per ball: 58 calories per ball. 5 g of fat. 4 g protein. 1 g net carb.
  
  Note: I had 13 on my plate. This was way too much. These are an indulgent treat. I usually bring these to parties and the like, but I was so excited to use the Carbquik which I got this week. I'm keeping the rest frozen for until I have guests over.

You know they sell the mix to make them yourself now? The day I saw them at the grocery store was probably the best day of my life.

I used this: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Dees-Pancake-Gluten-Almond/dp/B0764HZQ9L/ref=pd_ybh_a_59?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BQSKQWQMJY4SQA9KWDT3

They came out pretty good. Sadly I don't have any low carb syrup but the savoriness from the bacon and sausage patties made it taste great!

I will not give you crap about pancake mix, because I totally have a box of pancake mix in my pantry right now. We like Kodiak Cakes...they taste a little whole wheat-y to me but the SO loves them!

Man, I am proud of myself for this one. First, let me specify once again: This is a large, blueberry scone that is only 100 calories and 3 grams net carbs. It's also only 4 (or 5) ingredients, and it's the easiest thing in the world to make.

First and foremost, the star of the show here is carbquik. I don't know why this stuff doesn't pop up in this sub more often. Look, I love almond flour and bread that actually tastes like eggs as much as the next guy, but when I'm truly craving a flour substitute, this stuff is the real deal. Assuming they aren't grossly lying about the carb content here, this is the way to go when replicating anything "bread".

Here's the recipe:

• 1/3rd cup carbquik (90 calories, 2g nc)
  
• Swerve (or sweetener of your choice) until desired sweetness. I usually do like a tablespoon or so. (0)
  
• One exact splash of vanilla extract (optional) (0)
  
• 8-10 blueberries (7 calories, 1g nc)
  
• Just enough unsweetened almond milk to barely form a dough. Seriously, it should be crumbly and barely stick together. Like, maybe a tablespoon or two of almond milk. (3-8 calories, 0g nc)
  
  Then just mix all that shit together. You can knead it a little if you want, it's not super important. Then cook at 350 for 15 minutes or so, just until it starts getting brown on top. I actually cook mine in an air frier, so I'm not 100% sure how that translates to a standard oven.
  
  But dayum. Not only does this taste great, but it's right around 100 calories and only 3 net carbs. Ridiculous. Goes super well with tea or coffee.
  
  Enjoy, keto friends.

Now they sell it in stores (and online). I've got a small box in the cabinet that I've yet to use... I'm sorta scared, I know my wife and I don't need to eat 10 of those in one sitting. (Or even over the course of a couple of days...) I'll probably make em and freeze half for next time!

https://www.amazon.com/Crocker-Bisquick-Baking-Pancake-Buttermilk/dp/B0010VO7ES

I'd agree with other posters that repeat meals make life on keto a lot easier. Here's an example of a day for me:

<-- 11am: Chai tea w/ heavy whipping cream, equal sweetener OR decaf coffee from fresh beans, w/ heavy whipping cream, equal sweetener. (Sub almond milk if calories are a concern)

11am - 2pm: Leftovers OR 1 egg, 4 slices bacon, strawberries. If lifting that day, also 1 isopure protein shake w/ almond milk.

2pm - 5pm: ham, nuts, and mustard, rolled up in a slice of swiss cheese x2 (these little wraps are SO GOOD! I throw in some pickles or cornichones if I've got 'em).

5pm --> ground turkey chili with greek yoghurt or sour cream, thai red curry soup, taco bowls over lettuce, FAT HEAD PIZZA, and now, keto biscuits and gravy are my go to's for easy, quick meals.

Dessert: berries with whipped cream, or low carb ice cream with a dollop of peanut butter.

---------

I aim for dinners that are easy, low clean-up, cheap, and which make enough leftovers for at least two more meals, then I eat those leftovers for lunch as mentioned above. I'm in maintenance currently, but when cutting I eat at 1200kcal, so my meals also need to be lower in calories (hence intermittent fasting).

Just saw a miniature cast iron pan the size of a cookie from Nestle at a supermakret. It is a holiday novelty gift that contains 1 single pan and a small amount of mix to cook a single cookie. I almost picked one up. Two flavors. Peanut butter chip cookie and a dark chocolate cookie.

Found an amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Nestle-House-Chocolate-Cookie-Skillet/dp/B073ZM51HG

Many people are on the fence about this product, but Carbquik Baking Mix makes pretty solid biscuits. They’re a little crumbly/salty, but when you make them with cheese and garlic butter on top (like Red Lobster) they’re fantastic!

I enjoy the mix for pancakes and mug cakes too, I’ve also made a pseudo “pie crust” topping for chicken pot pie that worked well.

What helped me the most was time. Seriously, it just took a while to get the hang of a new lifestyle. Over time I felt better and better and learned more easy recipes and cooking techniques and it all became easier.

One thing I missed the most was good baked sweets, but then a friend who's son is allergic to wheat turned me onto this book http://www.cakemixdoctor.com/books/the-cake-mix-doctor-bakes-gluten-free/ and told me, "It'll change your life. I use it for all the kid parties and no one even realizes they're eating gluten free."

Recipes, I haven't yet done the whole make your own flour thing. SO much extra work. I've found that the Pamela's baking mix makes a pretty good sub in. http://www.amazon.com/Pamelas-Ultimate-Baking-Pancake-4-Pound/dp/B000NMJWZO I just bought a 25lb bag on amazon because it was less expensive in the long run. Also, the gf pasta with a combo of quinoa, corn, &/or brown rice is better than the just brown rice alone pasta.

And for easy, meat, veggies, and potatoes or rice with some easy sauces (BBQ & curries). Read all the labels, and really, it does get easier/better with time. Good luck.

You can actually order Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix from Amazon. I'm assuming that it won't be near as warm and soft and flaky as the real thing, but it might be the closest you'll get.

Fellow celiac here! I have a horrible selection for grocery stores, so I buy a lot of things off of Amazon a case at a time. It is way cheaper than I can find anywhere this way. Stop buying the Udi's muffins. Honestly, they taste like crap and you can make ones that are soooo much better! I like to do a lot of baking mixes so I don't have to guess on what ratios of flours to use. Anyways, here are a few of my favorites:

• Pasta that tastes good and has good texture - Tinkyada
  
  
• Pizza crust mix that my husband likes even better than the gluten filled stuff I used to make - Bob's Red Mill GF Pizza Crust Mix
  
  
• Bread mix that we make in a dedicated GF bread machine - Glutino Gluten Free Bread Mix
  
  
• Muffins - King Arthur Muffin Mix
  
  
• Pancakes, waffles, cookies, biscuits, muffins, just all around awesome baking substitute - Pamela's Gluten Free Baking Mix
  
  
  If you get adventurous and want to try baking your items with a flour substitute, Cup4cup or Better Batter are both great. I've used them both as replacements of regular flour in things I've made and turned out very similar to using regular flour. I also make my own chicken fingers using the GF Bisquick (there is a GF chicken finger recipe on the box). We also eat a lot of rice and quinoa.

Ingredients

1.5 lbs Shrimp (<1g net carbs)

3 eggs (1.5g net carbs) - beaten

1/2 cup coconut flakes (4g net carbs) - ground or chopped

1/2 cup Carbquik (3g net carbs)

Salt and pepper to taste

~ 3 cups canola oil for frying. Can use other oils of course.

Steps

Peel/devein the shrimp while leaving the tail on

Add salt and pepper to coconut flakes to taste.We used 1tb each but found out it could have used more salt and pepper.

Preheat oil to 375 degrees fahrenheit

Coat shrimp in carbquick, then eggs, then carbquick again

Fry shrimp for 1-1.5 mins depending on size of shrimp

Pull shrimp out and place on some paper towels til the outside feels crispy

Coat shrimp in eggs and then the coconut flakes

Fry for another 2-3 mins, again depending on the size of shrimp


Total was ~8.5 net carbs for the ingredients. We didn't use up all the carbquick and coconut flakes so the actual net carbs are going to be less. Cocktail sauce had way too much sugar so we used Siracha as a replacement (~1g carb/tbs). Enjoy!

Recipe

Swerve chocolate cake mix:
amazon link

Buttercream:
3.2 sticks of softened room temp butter
~1/4 cup heavy cream
~8 tbsp swerve confection sugar
~1 tbsp vanilla extract
~1 tbsp chai mix
I used approx measurements, tasted it as I went until desired sweetness and texture. There is probably a recipe somewhere but I was too lazy.

Using hand mixer, mix butter until velvety, add sugar, vanilla extract. Mix again until incorporated, add heavy cream, mix until thickened and then add chai mix to taste

Toast some shredded coconut on dry non stick pan and sprinkle on top

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS WAFFLE MIX!

What do you guys think of CarbQuik? I tried it for the first time last night and made chicken and waffles and had a serious mouth-gasm. I do realize it has basically no nutritional value and is just a sometimes treat, but I'm glad to have something new to add to the roster.

It comes in a box, there isn’t really a recipe. And it is damn tasty. I’ve made it as mini cupcakes with sugar free buttercream icing.

Try using these for pancakes. Love love love making breakfast for everyone. Definitely one of my favorite parts of festival camping.

Carbquik is an option. I haven't used it much but I think it has potential.

Cornbread is an easy one if you use a mix. I like mine sweet with jalapenos- I use this mix and chop up a jalapeno and stir it in. I like mine spicy, so I leave the seeds in, but some folks like to de-seed the jalapeno(s) first. You might want to just leave out the jalapenos altogether though- it's more of a southwest/tex-mex thing than a southern thing. If you overcook it it'll be dry, so make sure to stay on top of it- take it out as soon as a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out without batter on it (it's ok if there are some crumbs, though). Greasing the pan with bacon grease is another great trick - the sweet, savory, and spicy all together is a wonderful combination (even without the jalapenos this is still a great trick). They're best served warm from the oven with butter, and they make fantastic breakfast fare too.

Candied yams is another easy one. Here's a good recipe IMO. Be aware that they're supposed to be quite soft when they're done - almost creamy in consistency- so depending on the recipe you might have to leave them in for longer than it calls for. And yes, it's supposed to be that sweet! It'll probably taste like dessert to you- almost like a pudding. You could also always go the canned route too, but it's not as good IMO. This brand isn't terrible IMO. They'll be a nice side dish to yorkshire pudding and a roast, I think - the sweet and creamy of the yams will be a nice contrast to the fluffy and savory of the roast/pudding. In this case, garlic will still work for the roast, but I'd stay away from rosemary (rosemary + yams aren't the best combination).

Some steamed green beans would be a good addition too, and they're hard to fuck up. Make sure not to overcook them though! They should be softer than raw, but still just able to "snap" when bent in half. And don't add dairy to them- fresh steamed veggies are supposed to be a counterpoint to the richness of the rest of the meal. We add a lot of butter to things, but besides cream in mashed potatoes, most folks don't like dairy in their veggies here (the sole exception being the midwest, who are mostly descended from nordic immigrants- they really like their "hot dish" there, lol).

But YSK I'm not a southern girl, so you should take the advice of the other ladies in this thread when it contradicts mine :)

Thank you for doing this! I've been meaning to ask the Keto Reddit for recipes for Thanksgiving.
Another thing you can use for biscuits is buying Carbquik on amazon. It's amazing! I love using it to make anything "bread" related.

Carbquik and Quest Multi-Purpose Powder both make keto baking amazing. Carbquik makes better biscuits, Quest makes better bread, have yet to try cookies/cakes/muffins.

Not my Friday yet, sadface. Back to 183.2/4/whatever, the normal bounce between pounds.

I am excited for Sunday, though! I am making spritz cookies!! My mom traditionally makes them with almond flavoring, and makes little green trees. X3 I am excited! Annoyance, though - I don't have any cookie tins, so yesterday I sent an email to my team to see if any had any I could borrow. Because this silly programming team of ladies LOVE their cookies and cakes and all that bad stuff. Well, whaddya know? Not a single reply. I'm pretty sure a lot of them dislike me - simply for the fact of being a newcomer female into the team from elsewhere, intruding on their territory and being better at their job than most of them are. The guy I trained with has absolutely no problems, of course, because he's the only male on our team, youngish, and all of the ladies (40's and up) coo over him. Ugh. I don't miss the dirty looks they shoot at me when I say hi. :( Freakin' women.. more territorial than men, I swear. This is why I try to hang out around guys!

Uh.. back to the cookies. Right. I got almond flour from this brand rather than Honeyville because it's a bit cheaper at the moment, and my Swerve came yesterday as well! :D Much baking will ensure on Sunday... AFTER I go to Wally World to buy cookie tins, of course.... I'll probably be nice and bring cookies to work anyway, since hubby and I definitely will be able to eat them all ourselves! Hah.

You can find Carbquick on Amazon. Pretty decently priced and there are a couple different sizes available. Haven't tried it yet personally.

WalMart, Kroeger, HyVee, Amazon.com, http://www.amazon.com/Bisquick-Pancake-Baking-Gluten-Free-16-Ounce/dp/B004391DK0/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1374431787&sr=1-1&keywords=gluten+free+bisquick

Amazon's price is pretty good too.

Whenever I have enough abv i'll make butter and use this low carb brownie mix. I try to make sure the butter is strong so I don't have to eat too many brownies otherwise i'll get a lot of stomach noises.

I listed some items in a previous post, I'm not sure what you can get at a regular store or if someone can order items to your visiting address.

However, I made paleo pancakes using bananas, almond butter, and eggs once. It was fantastic and no almond flour required. Put some local honey on top as the syrup.

It claims
Fat: 3g
Protein: 6g
Total Carbs: 12g
Dietary Fiber: 11g
Soluble Fiber: 2g
Insoluble Fiber: 10g
Sugar: 2g

And that's per 1/4 cup (or 24g) serving.

So lets see here.

Total Carbs = Starch + Sugar + Fiber
12 = 11 + 2
er...
How about Dietary Fiber = Soluble + Insoluble Fiber
11 = 2 + 10
er...


Maybe it's the non-US format and fiber is already separate.
So... in that case, per 24g serving it has
3g Fat
6g Protein
12g Net Carbs
11g Fiber

3 + 6 + 12 + 11 = 24 (shit, no), it's 32
so, if it's the non-US label, it has 32g per 24g.....wait a second


Basically if it's a non-US label, it must be made and packaged in the TARDIS. If it's a US label, they're lying about something.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005YVU6FY?keywords=carbquick&qid=1454263297&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

I've used this for pancakes, pizza dough, biscuits, as a breading, in gravies, etc. If milk is required, I used almond milk. The pizza dough isn't perfect, but the biscuits are good and the pancakes are better than any box mix I've had, low carb or not.

You're welcome.

My suggestion was going to be IF with skipping breakfast since you have issues.

There is a product called Carbquic that people seem to like. Might be able to include pancakes in your breakfast everyday if it fits your macros. http://amzn.com/B005YVU6FY

> Planning on doing just that once I get my fridge better stocked.

For sure. I think it's all about mindset; keto isn't supposed to be a fad diet you slip in and out of to lose some vanity weight, it's a lifestyle. Finding foods you genuinely enjoy that fit into the diet is absolutely key to sticking with it; afterall who wants to stick with a diet that makes them miserable?

>The problem I am having with this MFP states my calorie goal is 2820 But I would have to eat all day to reach this. Even with just what I mentioned above its always around 1300 end of day and I feel completely full.

Exactly. I disregard calorie suggestions almost entirely because they are pretty unrealistic for me unless I absolutely gorge myself and feel stuffed around the clock.

Typically speaking I start my day with a boosted coffee (which you can totally do yourself with butter + coconut oil + coco powder I just appreciate the convenience) and then around 1-3pm I have a grass fed beef stick and boiled egg or something roughly equivalent not because I'm super hungry but because I know if I don't eat a bit I'll be extra hungry at dinner and make 2 people's worth of food ;) and then I have plenty of room for whatever the heck I want for supper. I'm similarly recommended to eat ~2.8k calories a day and most days I'm barely half that.

On sundays I make a half batch of carbquik biscuits and have two of them, two eggs and a nice keto sausage gravy which clocks in at ~6 net carbs as my "cheat but not cheating" treat.

But ultimately, mixing it up keeps me loving the food I eat which makes it a breeze to stick with keto for me.

222 cals a biscuit, not too terrible if you plan your meals.

It's a low net carb flour. I've used it for biscuits and pancakes and such.

Try carbalose flour or Carbquik.

carb rite sugar free brownie

well first of all, the cook/love of food in me must share this handy thing that I've had bookmarked for various reasons

and if you don't like cooking, theres always this

Carbquik + Protein powder of choice + Unsweetened cashew milk = Magical pancakes or waffles. Usually around 190 calories, 26g protein, and 14g fiber when I make them. Around 2g net carbs.

I make waffles with them. They're crispy so be careful when transporting them, but it's an easy whey to get more protein. I like chocolate protein powder + carbquik + coco powder which produces a brownie-esque waffle/pancake.

Carbquik can also be used to make cheesy biscuits or whatever else your heart desires.

I also like string cheese, pepperoni slices, cottage cheese + protein powder (or yogurt), Kroger brand's carbmaster products, and oven roasted veggies.

There are also "parmesan crisps" and "asiago crisps" that are sold at grocery stores that are for salad toppings.. But could easily be a low carb snack. :-) You can prolly make those at home too.

I love Kodiak Cakes! The dark chocolate kind is amazing, I’ll make it in the microwave and it tastes like a brownie in a mug 😍 Good luck!! You got this!

I'm not sure where you live, but in the US almond flour is becoming pretty available. Walmart/Kroger generally carry the 1lb bags and Sam's Club/Costco carry the 3lb+ bags (cheapest option for me).

Then of course comes the Amazon options that can be more expensive.

Have your macros and eat waffles too!

SERIOUSLY YES.

According to Google it's this.

high five! for quitting smoking! Sorry to hear about the celiac disease.

Bulk Honey Nut Cheerios

Bulk baked beans

Bulk gluten free pancake mix

Gluten free brownie mix

Gluten free corn bread mix

I've tried gluten free baked goods mixes and they're pretty good!

Plus the cd on my list gets you in the ballpark of $100 - just some ideas.

I 100% recommend checking out Birch Benders Paleo Pancake mix. They definitely have a different taste and texture from wheat pancakes, but they aren't terrible. Hopefully they're something that works for you.

These were the culprits! https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-CarbRite-Diet-Chocolate-Brownie/dp/B000G8399A/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1478181457&sr=8-1&keywords=low+carb+brownies

Like I said, I've had them before with no issue, but this time was just insane!

Just FYI, you can now buy those Cheesy biscuits at Sam's and they are JUST as delicious. You can also get them here.

You're welcome!

I just made this for the first time today, and it's pretty good. I didn't blend the chia seeds and this was my first time eating any kind of chia: the consistency didn't bother me. Make it the night before in small plastic containers and just grab one to go with a spoon when you head out in the morning.

I also often make these (with Carbquik) on Sundays, keep them in the fridge during the week and heat up 2-3 of them in the microwave (~30-45 seconds) while I'm making my coffee and then eat them off a napkin in the car on the way to work:

Not had that brand, but I've made waffles with Good Dee's before and they were pretty solid. Throw in some know or lily's chocolate chips and some zero sugar syrup and I didn't miss "normal" waffles at all.

Keto is low carb, however you achieve that low carb is up to you. Almond flour and protein powder is for cookie dough, quest bars for if I get hungry during school.

You can make low-carb biscuits with CarbQuik for breakfast foods (I use it for biscuits and gravy).

KNOW Foods makes a bread mix, which is 2-3g net carbs per 1/2" slice. I've used this for sandwiches and just cut the slices really thin (like 1/8"-1/4").

I'll also second the idea of a cabbage leaf - a bit sturdier and more flavorful than something like iceberg lettuce.

>I love them. I can't live without pizza. Fried food is awesome.

It sounds counter-intuitive, but the cravings aren't a psychological thing. It's a hormone thing. Go low carb, and it brings your blood sugar down, which brings down your insulin levels, which brings down your cravings. It's actually fairly amazing how well it works for most people. Stay low carb (I completely recommend very low carb, which seems to reduce cravings much better, so here's another vote for r/keto) and the cravings will go away.

For some people the cravings take a while to go completely, and sort of fade out over months. For others (including me), all carb cravings were gone in a week. Now when I have cravings it's for really good Brie, or olives, or bacon (you'd think all that bacon would get old, but it really doesn't).

Pizza? You got it. I like Fat Head better than regular pizza. No, that's not hyperbolic BS. I swear to God that stuff is amazing.

Fried food? Fry away! You can't fry anything with lots of carbs, but fried chicken is a go and fried mozzarella sticks are perfect. Basically you can fry anything as long as you learn how to use almond flour, coconut flour, and crushed pork rinds instead of bread crumbs (ok, I'll cop to cheating a little on this one; sometimes I mix in some panko because it coats better; just track your carb intake and if you're under your carb limit for the day, it shouldn't be a problem).

Missing pancakes? Got you covered.

Honestly, keto is a fucking delicious diet. The hardest part is really that you need to re-learn how to cook with new ingredients. I highly suggest hanging out in r/ketorecipes.

Oh yeah. Halo Top ice cream.

Do you have Bisquick in the UK? Bisquick is a biscuit/pancake mix in the US, and CarbQuick is a low-carb version of it. It is an excellent low-carb product! Here are some links for you. Maybe someone reading this in the UK can tell you if it is available there.

Cake

I am a newbie but I heard about carbquick. I have been waiting on payday (tomorrow) to order some but it looks like a nice alternative for someone who can't break their addiction to bread LOL.

Speaking of bread, I tried making Oopsie Bread 2-3 days ago and they were a success!! I used them to make me a real hamburger. Made my whole week.

To hit my sweet tooth, I blend some heavy whipping cream and peanut butter in a blender or food processor, squeeze a couple drops of liquid Stevia, and then freeze it. It doesn't take long to get an ice cream consistency. Or, you can line a plate with saran wrap and flatten the mixture on it, freeze, and then cute it into strips so it resembles a "bark". My kids love it.

I also recommend drinking as much water as you can, I know that helped me. Also if you like ice, munch on ice chips.

For convenience, you might even look into Keto Chow. It's basically a meal replacement shake that tastes really good.

I have seen others mention Halo Top. I have never tried it, but wanted to give you that suggestion.

my go tos are: quesdillas using low carb tortillas. pecans. quest bars (or the kirkland brand). I've been on this diet for so long that sugary things don't appeal to me as much.

make low carb brownies (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000G8399A/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687642&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000WMU2HM&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=34D6Z93JCCVS4T85H488)

I haven't tried this yet but the reviews are pretty good. Let's you make a low carb versions of anything bisquick makes.

I make these flax muffins, which are awesome if you like the taste of bran muffins.

We also use Carbquick for making cheddar biscuits.

Just add water:

I try not to, although my parents will get it when they're too lazy to cook (which is most of the time). I just can't stomach it. My mom gets a lot of processed shit at the store that would be cheaper and healthier to make from scratch, and it wouldn't take much longer. Example. I can't even call these pancakes.

> Can you elaborate what carbquik is?

its a lower carb baking mix comparable to bisquick

https://smile.amazon.com/Carbquik-Baking-Biscuit-Mix-48oz/dp/B005YVU6FY?sa-no-redirect=1&th=1

Not egg dominant but decent protein:

Kodiak Cakes + Egg whites instead of water. You can mix in some milk as well/protein powder. This will also make them thicker/fluffier.

Yep. I also use Carbquik sometimes to thicken sauces and gravy.

I bought the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix from the grocery store, and made them. I took my time and was careful. They were perfect. It was like I was there, but I technically didn't have to wear pants to eat them at the same time.

Low carb baking mix I found on Amazon. I've seen pretty mixed reviews on here but decided to try it for myself. The pancakes are the only things I've used it for but there was a chicken and dumplings recipe on the box and I'll be trying that for damn sure!

Carbquik Baking Biscuit Mix https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005YVU6FY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_YCmQybV9VPBBC

Here's a link to what I bought Carbquik Baking Biscuit Mix (48oz) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005YVU6FY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_70.AzbSG80TB4

I'll report back and let you know how it taste!

No, they are not good substitutes at all unfortunately. If you have some specific recipe maybe we could help but for the most part you would want specific recipes.

I assume you are using it to make non-keto, bread type recipes?
If so, look into Carbquick I have used it several times and it works pretty well, it uses Carbalose flour and not any nuts so they should be good to eat it


I'm not a doctor and that was not medical advice :)

Right, but there is a difference between cauliflower pizza crust and a frankenfood version.

Also, at the end of the day - this way of eating has restrictions. Trying to dance around it by eating starches that just inject fiber into everything to trick your macros might make it difficult to stay in ketosis.

But again, it is a matter of opinion. For example, I adopted the "fuck the foods that made me fat" approach and rejected anything that even resembled a "cheat food." But others like to experiment. If they are able to make cakes, breads, etc while staying in ketosis - more power to them.

Also here's a link to some Aussie stovetop camping recipes.
http://www.brokenheadholidaypark.com.au/4289/10-one-pot-camping-recipes-to-make-on-your-camp-stove/


I generally take shelf stable milk, eggs in a plastic camp egg container that keeps them safe, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, onions etc. Tinned chilli, tinned tomatoes, dry pasta. Hot sauce. Tea and coffee. Bottled water.

With that, we can do a tonne of stuff and we're always pretty happy.

Not dumb questions at all! So my protein waffles are just waffles made in a waffle maker using a high protein waffle mix. I really like Kodiak Cakes waffle mix because I get great waffles using just mix and water. So no extra sugar or calories. Some people make them using protein powder but I haven't been brave enough for that yet.

& I'm definitely not eating just 300 calories a day, lol. My TDEE (what I burn in a day) is around 1800 calories, so I eat about 1500. Therefore I'm cutting out and not eating those extra 300 calories I burned.

Feel free to ask any more questions! And if you're female I highly recommend checking out /r/xxfitness it's an incredibly helpful subreddit and I learned a ton from reading there.

Well, there is this, http://www.amazon.com/Red-Lobster-Cheddar-Bay-Biscuit/dp/B00AWQRLIG

You can find them at Aldi's, Toy R Us, the Christmas Tree Shoppe, Target, or Amazon

Love this contest. Ok, so I haven't made these cookies yet because I just ordered the kit, BUT I think these Ninjamen cookies are awesome for the holidays!! I only like eggnog if it's baked in cookies. Link to the kit with a picture of what I'll be making is here: http://www.amazon.com/In-Mix-Gingerbread-Cookie-Ninja/dp/B009EVLREO/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418090685&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=ninjamen+cookies

Coconut flour is way different. It needs more liquid, more eggs, and tastes a lot like coconut.

Shop on Amazon and have almond flour shipped to your house.

It looks like a skillet for making cookies. Something like this one. I don't think it is collectible, but I'd need to see the underside to be sure. I'd pass without that photo.

This stuff is surprisingly good, and is keto-friendly, so I'd imagine it's fine for slo-carb too: carbquik

It's actually this stuff, same as mentioned above! Cafe Du Monde Beignet Mix, 28 oz Box https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007NJT9ZS

I got it from Amazon! Here's the listing I used:

2g Net carbs, so very low carb flour.

Why didn't she decorate them differently than what's on the box?

CarbQuik: https://www.amazon.com/Carbquik-Baking-Mix-lb-box/dp/B005YVU6FY?th=1

It's somewhat expensive, but I've gone through about 20 boxes in the last 3 years and they are my fav for days

Ask and ye shall receive.

Not sure how accurate the carb count is on these but you can try carbquik

For butter cream frosting https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/low-carb-chocolate-frosting/

For cake I used this swerve sweetener cake mix
Swerve Sweets, Chocolate Cake Mix, 10.6 ounces https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F1DR1CQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XQARDbRYCG2PC

For the cake I follow the directions but instead of water I used 2/3 cup of almond milk and I added semi sweet Lily’s chocolate chips. Prob about a cup.

Then decorated with those same chocolate chips and sugar free whipped cream :)

This brownie mix is hands down the easiest and best dessert I've had while on keto. You just add eggs and butter. It's best to let them cool before eating them. They taste fudgy and not keto at all. I eat them with Halo Top ice cream and homemade magic shell.

Also, a quick throw together if you have the calories to spare (and want some extra fat): melt kerrygold butter in a ramekin, add 100 cal pack mixed walnuts and almonds, add one packet of splenda, add tbsp of Trader Joe's unsweetened shredded coconut, add Guittard's Extra Dark chocolate chips. Mix, enjoy!

Does no one here use Carbquik? I found it referenced in this LowCarb MegaThread http://lowcarbplate.com/tlcm/

I use this for Pizza crust and cheesecakes. All in moderation of course. Can be found on Amazon, never have come across it in any Grocery store.

http://www.amazon.com/Carbquik-Baking-Mix/dp/B000G0EP78

First of all, your username gives me a chuckle whenever I see it. Its so random. I hope. Unless you have panties made of pizza....

I really, really want low carb baking mix so I can finally try pancakes, muffins, etc again. I've been trying to eat low carb and I miss all the things!!

Thank you for the contest!

Sold on Amazon too

What kind of fuckery is this? Pancake mix in a one-use disposable measuring cup? That level of waste boggles my mind. And 8 of them for $19, why that's only a little more than $2 each, which is about what I pay for a whole box of mix that lasts 5 or 6 uses.

I eat ground turkey with either sour cream or a little cheese like it's my job.


Edit- I'm on keto (kill me) and just made these. They are fucking amazing https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016YOCSIC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Got my CarbQuick off of Amazon (Though I haven't actually done much with it, yet)

Amazon's my go-to, since we don't seem to have anything other than the Bob's Red Mill stuff around town, either.

I did keto for a few years before moving up here and a little bit after (unfortunately, STL's great food scene got the better of me). Trader Joe's was good for some of the staples. I honestly never found anything of value at Aldi's except meat and cheese, which I can just get (better quality) anywhere in STL. Everything else was overprocessed or frozen food shit.

TBH, literally the only thing you'll run into SOME issue with is the flours/powders. If you end up having to find them online, so be it, just buy bulk and don't worry about it. Be sure to get unblanched almond flour AND almond meal, as they're two different things for two different uses. Don't let anyone fool you.

Also, Schnucks carries at TON of flavors of Halo Top ice cream which is keto-friendly you are welcome.

I did end up ordering online a few times but I'd make huge bulk orders of staples. I did most of my keto shopping at Netrition.com, they have a lot of "weird" stuff. I bought some CarbQuick but never ended up using it. Most people would say you're "not supposed to" make foods that are keto versions of baked goods (mostly) because it'll just make you crave the real thing, but who knows. I fell off that ship a long time ago. Now I'm big enough to sink one.

Different varieties for Kodiak cakes, but here's one of them: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LH6ZAN8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1421866811&sr=8-3&dpPl=1&dpID=51u1DqxgsuL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

No Splenda... and part of the proceeds go to the Grizzly and Wildlife Foundation!

Take it a step further

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AWQRLIG

From the recipe: premixed oat fiber, almond flour, and coconut flour. Pretty expensive...

I got Blanched Almond Flour, and I am very happy with it.

My favorite CAH: getting my friend's Mom to say "What gets better with age? Buccaki" and then watch her googling it with a look of horror. She's 67!

Cheddar Biscuits

I've had that mix but didn't enjoy it much. I like this a lot better https://amzn.com/B016YOCSIC but I scale back the butter to make it less like fudge like and add nuts.

Definitely not vegetarian but it doesn't have any fish or seafood.
