Low Carb

There is a lot of hype about “carbs,” but unrefined (i.e. plant-based) carbohydrates can be incredibly nutritious. And remember, everything has carbs—from broccoli to cookies—so the type matters! These unrefined and “complex” carbs (from fruits, veggies, beans, and whole grains) often come with other important nutrients like fiber, vitamins and minerals. We recommend reducing the intake of more refined carbohydrates such as processed breads and pasta, but unrefined, plant-based carbs (such as broccoli, beans, brown rice, quinoa, fruits, nuts, etc...) still have an important place in a healthy diet.

At this time, we don't offer specific preferences for a low-carb diet. However, if you are looking to get low-carb recipes, you can certainly make some adjustments in your Meal Planner to meet your needs! And you can always check your nutritional analysis to calculate the amount of carbs you're getting in each meal.

When you see pasta, bread, wraps, or rice (or any other higher-carb ingredients) in your Meal Planner, feel free to make some simple swaps with replacement ingredients. Just use something like zucchini noodles, a lettuce wrap, or cauliflower rice in their place. This way, you don’t miss out on those recipes entirely!

You can specifically exclude those things from your personalized meals in your Allergies & Dislikes section. In this case, you’ll be blocking all recipes that include those ingredients, so it will limit what you see a bit more. There are over 700 foods you can exclude from your personalized recipes! Just type the food you wish to exclude into the search box at the top of the page and all variations of that food will populate. Then just click on the item you wish to eliminate and click "Save"!
