Cheap Low Carb Food Recipes

Low carb foods tend to be more expensive on average because of the absence of low cost processed carbs that act as fillers. The main downside to cooking cheap low carb meals is giving up some creativity with less expensive ingredient replacement and adding more prep work with less prepared foods.

Coming up with alternate ingredients is all about your creativity and I feel planning ahead also helps in this area by allowing you to see all the ingredients you will have on hand that week because you are using them on other low carb recipes. Using bacon instead of Prosciutto, finding a block of cheese that could be used on more than one recipe as well as sliced for rollups, replacing an expensive cut of meat with a slightly less costly one and using cheaper seasonal local grown vegetables one are just a few examples.
