Carbohydrates, oh, how they fuel our bodies! But when it comes to following a low-carb diet, making the right choices becomes crucial. It's not just about cutting carbs but about building a balanced and nourishing plate with the right kind of carbs and the proper amount.
Luckily, you don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen trying to concoct delicious high-protein, low-carb recipes. Our nutrition experts have found a handful of low-carb meal delivery services that offer a blend of convenience, nutrition and affordability.
Our top picks:
"Meal delivery services have evolved to cater to the needs of home cooks and accommodate various dietary preferences and lifestyles," says Stefani Sassos, MS, RDN, CDN, Nutrition Director for the Good Housekeeping Institute. "You can choose traditional meal kits that provide fresh ingredients and step-by-step recipe instructions or fully prepared meals that go straight into the microwave from the fridge or freezer."
To find the crème de la crème of low-carb meal delivery services, our dietitians conducted an extensive review, digging through over 50 services and involving more than 300 home chefs. That encompassed three months of evaluations, scrutinizing variety, nutrition, pricing, serving sizes, ingredient quality and availability.
But here's a gentle reminder from our experts: Just because a dish is low-carb doesn't automatically make it healthy. To truly nourish your body, incorporate a variety of vegetables, lower-sugar fruits, whole grains and lean proteins like fish, chicken, turkey and whole forms of soy.
