9 lbs. That's good.
Try some of my favorites.
Chicken Caesar Salad (without croutons of course)
Fry chicken with some seasoning salt or other spices. Add parmesan cheese
and Caesar salad dressing to chopped romaine. Slice chicken into strips and
lay on top.
Lettuce Wraps
Sliced onions, tomatoes, and green pepper combined with taco spiced beef
and shredded cheddar cheese. Use a large romaine lettuce leaf to wrap it in.
Onions and tomatoes are a little higher carb, so use less if you are at a
lower carb count.
Fried Shrimp With Cole Slaw
Fry frozen peeled shrimp in butter. Make your own cole slaw using
cabbage, a little pickle juice, some mayonnaise, and a little mustard.
Lasagna (without noodles)
There are lots of different recipes, but we use one that included
veggies like spinach, onion, and celery. Tomato sauce would be higher carb
because of the concentration, so don't use as much as the recipe calls for.
This one may be better for the maintenance phase than for on going
weightloss.
Fish and Steamed Broccoli
This one's easy
Omelets
Ham, cheese, onion, mushrooms and green pepper
Chef's Salad
Ham ( or cold cuts ), cheddar cheese, eggs, lettuce(50%), (the
rest)broccoli, cauliflower, green pepper, green onion, radishes. If your
carb count allows, a little salad dressing too.
Mediterranean Salad
I just kind of wing it. Romaine lettuce, red onion, peppers, olives, feta
cheese, with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Watch the carb count on the
balsamic, or use plain vinegar spiced with some oregano, and basil.
Snacks (or a meal)
Nuts. Pecans are high fiber and also my favorite. Beef jerky (making your
own is best with spices and a dehydrator or oven on no higher than 160F).
Devilled eggs are great too, using; mayonnaise, mustard, and paprika mixed
with the egg yokes.
Goodluck
