Love the DietDoctor recipes. Here is the most Basic of Menu Planners to take those recipes and create meals you love.
Do not eat anything you don't like.

LOW-CARB MENU PLANNING What does a low-carbohydrate menu look like? You can plan your daily menu by using the following as a guide:

Breakfast
Meat or other protein source (usually eggs)
Fat source —This may already be in your protein; for example, bacon and eggs have fat in them. But if your protein source is “lean,” add some fat in the form of butter, cream (in coffee) or cheese.
Low-carbohydrate vegetable (if desired)—This can be in omelet or a breakfast quiche.

Lunch
Meat or other protein source
Fat source – If your protein is “lean,” add some fat, in the form of butter, salad dressing, cheese, cream, or avocado.
1 to 1 1⁄2 cups of salad greens or cooked greens 1⁄2 to 1 cup of vegetables

Snack Low-carbohydrate snack that has protein and/or fat. (only if hungry)

Dinner
Meat or other protein source
Fat source—If your protein is “lean,” add some fat in the butter, salad dressing, cheese, cream, or avocado.
1 to 1 1⁄2 cups of salad greens or cooked greens
1⁄2 to 1 cup of vegetables

A sample day may look like this:
Breakfast: Bacon or sausage and Eggs
Lunch: Grilled chicken on top of salad greens and other vegetables, with bacon, chopped eggs, and salad dressing
Snack: Pepperoni slices and a cheese stick
Dinner: Burger patty or steak Green salad with other acceptable vegetables and salad dressing Green beans with butter

But go easy on the protein. Too much protein can keep your bg high. Not as bad as sugar, but still a problem.

There are also posts that talk about too little protein causing wasting of the muscles.
