I Was Just Grilling for Myself and Ended Up Making 13 Low Carb Recipes
Grilling for one should be simple. Somehow it snowballed into 13 low carb recipes, a full tray of food, and me questioning my own portion control. At least I didn’t need to cook again for three days. Turns out, making too much is better than standing in front of the fridge wondering what went wrong.
Grilled Salmon
Grilling for one turned into a real treat with Grilled Salmon. It’s simple, healthy, and comes together quickly. You get that smoky outside and tender inside that works every time. This one’s always a go-to when you want something quick but satisfying.

Asian Slaw
I didn’t expect to enjoy Asian Slaw this much. It’s crunchy, light, and goes perfectly with grilled meats. The balance of the dressing with crisp veggies just works. Easily one of the best side options to mix things up.

Grilled Lobster Tail
If you’ve never tried Grilled Lobster Tail, you’re missing out. It’s incredibly simple but feels a bit fancy even when you’re grilling solo. The char adds something special to the tender meat. Once you try it, you’ll want it again.

Chipotle Grilled Chicken
Let me tell you, Chipotle Grilled Chicken packs a solid punch. Spicy but not overwhelming, it’s great for anyone who likes a little heat. I couldn’t believe how quickly it came together. Definitely something I’d make again.

Grilled Steak Pinwheels
Grilled Steak Pinwheels had me impressed. The spiral look isn’t just cool, it’s packed with goodness in every bite. Grilling them gets that nice crispy outside while everything inside stays juicy. Super good for something a little different.

Grilled Eggplant
For some reason, people don’t talk enough about Grilled Eggplant. It’s got a smoky, almost creamy texture that’s way better than you’d think. Works as a side or main, especially when paired with, well, anything. Plus, grilling it is so easy, you’re done before you know it.

Grilled Tri Tip
You can’t argue with how good Grilled Tri Tip turns out. It’s hearty and holds up to the grill’s heat really well. The char on the outside locks in all the juices. Worth it every time for a quick, no-fuss meat option.

Grilled Zucchini
I always forget how good Grilled Zucchini is until I make it. It’s tender but still has enough bite to it, making it a great add-on to any plate. You could get fancier, but just salt and heat are all it needs. Super underrated for something so simple.

Grilled Chicken Kabobs
Sticking food on skewers is fun, but Grilled Chicken Kabobs are more than just fun. They’re perfect for mixing up plain chicken by adding a bit of char and extra layering. Each piece turns out smoky and juicy. Makes for a great balance with veggies if you add those.

Grilled Peppers
Honestly, Grilled Peppers are so slept on. They get sweet and slightly charred on the edges, which is perfect. Great for adding to bowls, wraps, or straight-up eating off the plate. Don’t skip these when you want an easy veggie option.

Grilled Veggie Kabobs
Grilled Veggie Kabobs are just as good as the meat ones. They’re a quick way to get loads of veggies done at once, all with a smoky edge. Throw them together with whatever you have on hand and see what happens. My favorite move is to let the grill marks do all the talking.

Grilled Shrimp
If you’ve got shrimp around, try Grilled Shrimp next time. They cook ridiculously fast and get that perfect touch of smokiness right away. No fancy prep or tools needed, just toss them on. Solid choice when you’re in the mood for seafood.
