High-Protein, Low-Carb Lunch That Tastes Like Egg Salad (35g Protein!)
I’ve been experimenting with quick, protein-packed meals that don’t require a ton of prep—and today I accidentally created a new favorite that’s not only delicious but also packs 35 grams of protein in one bowl. And the best part? It tastes just like egg salad.
Here’s what I threw together:
- 3 hard-boiled eggs (roughly 18g protein)
- 1 small container of cottage cheese (typically around 15g–17g protein, depending on the brand and size)
- A spoonful of mustard (zero calories, big flavor)
That’s it. Just three ingredients. I mixed everything together in a bowl, mashed it up a bit like you would with a traditional egg salad, and took my first bite—WOW. Creamy, tangy, satisfying, and incredibly filling.
Why This Combo Works:
- Eggs are a complete protein, rich in vitamins like B12 and choline.
- Cottage cheese is low in carbs, high in casein protein (slow-digesting, great for keeping you full), and gives it a creamy texture without needing mayo.
- Mustard adds that classic egg salad kick without adding fat or sugar.
Macros (approximate, depending on brands used):
- Protein: 35g
- Carbs: 3–5g
- Fat: 18–20g
- Calories: 350–400
This combo is perfect if you’re on a high-protein, low-carb diet, doing keto, or just want a fast meal that fuels you without the bloat. It’s also great as a post-workout snack or light dinner. You could even wrap it in lettuce leaves or eat it with cucumber slices for crunch.
Next time, I might add chopped pickles, celery, or a sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor—but honestly, it’s perfect just as it is.
Simple. Satisfying. Protein-packed.
