perfect low carb meal

[cozmokramer]

well all get tired of eating chicken, turkey and tuna day after day....

well last time I cut up with low carb I was always making taco meat
which tasted awesome and was a great meal.

However I went out last night to buy the taco seasoning... and it
had 14 grams of carbs, only 4 sugar per package... thats enough for
1 lb of ground turkey.

The last time I bought it it had 4 grams of carbs for the whole package,
I just don't remember what brand I bought.. does anyone eat this on
low carb and what low carb seasoning are you using?

ok, ok...

1 medium Raw onion contains:
60 Calories
1 gram Protein
14 grams Carbohydrates
0 Fat
0 Cholesterol
10 mg Sodium
200 mg Potassium
11.9 mg Vitamin C (20% of USRDA)


SO... use less onion and corn starch...

Was just trying to help
