Food City Low-Carb Meal Plan

5-DAY MEAL PLAN

Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Boneless Pork Loin with Sauteed Vidalia Onions and Beefsteak Tomatoes
Description: Two thick-cut slices of boneless pork loin are seared in a hot skillet until golden and juicy, then served alongside sweet Vidalia onions and vine-ripened beefsteak tomatoes sauteed in garlic butter. This simple, satisfying low-carb dinner comes together quickly and keeps net carbs well under 10g per serving.
Sale items used: Whole Boneless Pork Loin ($1.99/lb), Vidalia Onions ($1.29/lb), Beefsteak Tomatoes ($1.99/lb)

Serving note: Purchase approximately 1 lb of boneless pork loin for 2 people (about 0.5 lb per person); slice into two equal portions before searing. Use about 0.5 lb Vidalia onions and 0.5 lb beefsteak tomatoes split between two plates. The pork loin is sold whole, so slice off what you need and wrap the remainder tightly for later in the week.

Tuesday
Meal: Skillet Ground Beef and Vegetable Kabob Stir-Fry with Beefsteak Tomatoes
Description: Seasoned 81% lean ground beef is browned in a hot skillet and tossed with colorful in-store made vegetable kabob pieces and fresh beefsteak tomato chunks for a quick, hearty stir-fry. The natural juices from the tomatoes create a light pan sauce that keeps this meal flavorful and low-carb at under 12g net carbs per serving.
Sale items used: Ground Beef 81% Lean ($2.99/lb), Vegetable Kabobs ($6.99/lb), Beefsteak Tomatoes ($1.99/lb)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Use 1 lb ground beef total (0.5 lb per person); purchase approximately 0.5 lb of vegetable kabobs and slide the vegetables off the skewers directly into the skillet. Use about 0.5 lb beefsteak tomatoes. Note: the ground beef price requires a card and an additional $25 purchase plus a digital coupon - clip the coupon in the Food City app before shopping.

Wednesday
Meal: Baked Fresh Split Chicken Breast with Caesar Salad Kit
Description: Bone-in split chicken breasts are seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil then roasted in the oven until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender and juicy. Each plate is served alongside a generous portion of Fresh Express Caesar Kit for a classic low-carb pairing that stays under 8g net carbs per serving.
Sale items used: Fresh Split Chicken Breast Sanderson Farms ($1.99/lb), Caesar Kit Fresh Express ($2.99)
Prep time: 55 minutes (40 minutes bake time, 15 minutes prep)
Serving note: Purchase 2 split chicken breasts totaling approximately 1.5 lbs (bone-in weight) for 2 people. One kit feeds 2 people generously - use the full kit and split it evenly between two bowls. Make-ahead tip: season the chicken up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate uncovered for crispier skin.

Thursday
Meal: Pan-Cooked Boneless Pork Chops with Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
Description: Center-cut boneless pork chops are seasoned and cooked in a cast-iron or heavy skillet until golden brown with a slight crust, then rested before serving. Savory bacon-wrapped asparagus bundles from the deli are heated alongside in the same pan or oven for a rich, satisfying low-carb plate well under 8g net carbs per serving.
Sale items used: Boneless Pork Chops Food City Fresh Center Cut ($3.99/lb), Bacon Wrapped Asparagus ($1.79 each)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase 2 boneless pork chops totaling approximately 1 lb (about 0.5 lb per person). Purchase 2 bacon-wrapped asparagus bundles (1 per person) at $1.79 each. The asparagus bundles are already assembled in-store so they go straight into the pan - no extra prep needed.

Friday
Meal: Garlic-Butter Sauteed Wild Caught Gulf Shrimp with Vidalia Onions and Tomatoes
Description: Plump cooked wild-caught Gulf shrimp are warmed through in a generous garlic-butter sauce with sweet sliced Vidalia onions and diced beefsteak tomatoes for a bright, restaurant-quality low-carb skillet meal. This dish comes together in under 20 minutes and delivers bold flavor at under 10g net carbs per serving.
Sale items used: Wild Caught Gulf Shrimp ($8.99/lb), Vidalia Onions ($1.29/lb), Beefsteak Tomatoes ($1.99/lb)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Purchase 1 lb of shrimp total (about 0.5 lb per person; since shrimp are 41/60 count and already cooked, 1 lb yields a generous portion for two). Use about 0.5 lb Vidalia onions and 0.5 lb beefsteak tomatoes. Since the shrimp are pre-cooked, add them to the pan last and heat just until warmed through - about 2 to 3 minutes - to avoid rubbery texture.
