I had a slice of eggplant lasagna and a side of sautéed cabbage — simple, filling, and packed with flavor.

To drink: strong espresso and a glass of water.
Clean food. No extras. No sugar. Just focus.

This low carb eggplant lasagna meal is a go-to recipe I love repeating when I want something satisfying and still light.

🍽️ Low Carb Meal Idea: Eggplant Lasagna, Sautéed Cabbage & Espresso

This kind of low carb lunch or dinner is perfect for those days when I need something satisfying without getting off track.

I reheated a slice of eggplant lasagna I made earlier this week — layered with ground beef, tomato sauce, and melted cheese.
I paired it with sautéed cabbage for a fresh crunch and a light veggie balance.

To finish the meal, I had an espresso (non-negotiable!) and water as always.

🧘🏾‍♀️ Why this meal works for me:

Meals like this are exactly why I stick to low carb. I don’t feel deprived — I feel grounded.

The lasagna brings all the satisfaction of comfort food without the heavy carbs, and the cabbage keeps it light and nourishing.
It’s rich in flavor, easy to prep in advance, and keeps me full for hours.

Next time, I’ll double the lasagna batch so I can freeze some portions. It’s always good to have a quick low carb dinner ready to go.

I don’t count calories — I focus on eating smart and staying consistent.

It’s real food. That’s what makes it work.
