What Foods are High in Protein and Low in Carbs?

What Foods are High in Protein and Low in Carbs?

February 10, 2022

The food we eat is made up of 3 macronutrients: carbohydrates, fat and protein. Some foods are a mix of these and some are primarily one macronutrient. People with diabetes are often told to eat more “lean” protein and eat fewer carbohydrates. Here is a list of lean protein, lower (or no) carbohydrate foods:

  • Chicken breast
  • Turkey breast
  • Beef loin or round
  • Pork loin
  • Fish
  • Shellfish
  • Lean bison
  • Venison
  • Whey protein powder
  • Vegan protein powder (check brands for nutrition)
  • Low fat cottage cheese
  • Fat free or low fat Greek yogurt
  • Eggs and egg whites
  • Soybeans or edamame
  • Tofu

 

For a quick and filling higher protein lower carb snack:

  1. Stir 1/4 cup whey protein powder into 5 ounces of Greek yogurt.
  2. Top it with 1/4 cup berries and 2 tablespoons granola.

Some of my favorite Greek yogurt options are Siggi’s Nonfat Icelandic yogurt, Siggi’s plant based yogurt, Silk Non-dairy Greek Yogurt, Oikos Triple Zero and Chobani Less Sugar Greek yogurt.

Looking for breakfast ideas?  Try these Blueberry Walnut Overnight Oats.
