My wife stole my rub! Turkey Meatballs... low carb

[hunter rose]

My wife stole my rub! She made her healthy style meatballs with half 99% Extra Lean Ground Turkey and half 96% Lean Ground Beef. She mixed in carrots, zucchini, pork rinds (lower carb binder) and my beef rub. Delicious and low carb. She also said they are only 1 WW Freestyle point each.

Did someone say low carb?... I’m in on those meatballs. They look awesome. Using pork rinds as a binder is a great idea.
Like!

Huh... that has me thinking now ( I know dangerous). How would pork rinds work as a breading if I wanted to fry something? I am also doing low carb.

I'll confess that my eyes started to glaze over when I got to carrots and Zucchini, but those look good enough that I would sure enough give them a try.

Married, living in the same house, sharing the same kitchen... (I bet you even share the same roll of toilet paper...)
Nope, I don't think you have a case. o_O
Just eat the evidence and enjoy it.
Make sure she gets the points... :confused:

Now that is an interesting spin on healthy eating. Usually the last thing on my mind is "how healthy" something is to eat. That is something I'd eat.

Don’t blame the butter for what the bread is doing to you! ;) B

That looks awesome, always a bonus when you eat something that taste good and it’s healthy.

They look real good healthy or not!
I would definitely give them a try!

Low carb = high fat. What's with the lean turkey? Lean turkey+pork rinds...scratching my head....

Well the problem is that weight watchers (I believe his wife is doing that) is a lower fat diet.

Low carb definitely does not mean high fat... Half an ounce of pork rinds is 5g of fat. This made up a total of 0.5g fat per meatball.

Yes, I do Keto and the rest of the family does Weight Watchers. This satisfies both.

When you cut carbs you have to eat more protein or fat (the only two other options). Eating little fat means eating a lot of protein. Which leads to a spike in insulin levels. Which is the opposite of what low carb is about.
