Breakfast:

Option 2: Unsweetened yogurt combined with full-fat sour cream, whole milk, chia seeds, a few raspberries and walnuts. Since all yogurts have lactose, this combo has the right portion- and carbs-counting. You can also balance out the macros by pairing this combo with a carbs-free protein such as two eggs.

Lunch: 

Option 1: Salad with cheese, bacon that is nitrate-free, avocado, spicy pumpkin seeds, a few grape tomatoes as well as blue cheese or ranch that are low-carbs, high-fat salad dressings.

To increase the meal’s fat content, you can sautée the zucchini with olive oil or you can add some extra garlic-infused oil to the sauce.
