Frequently Asked Questions and Recipe Suggestions
FAQ
- Can I make these meals ahead?
Yes — frittata and stir-fry keep 3–4 days refrigerated; reheat gently. - Can I replace chicken thighs with breasts?
Yes; breasts cook faster and can dry out—reduce bake time and monitor internal temp. - Is frozen cauliflower rice OK?
Yes. Thaw and squeeze out excess moisture before cooking. - Can I use a different ground meat?
Yes — ground pork, beef, or a mix work; adjust salt and fat if very lean. - How do I keep the frittata from getting rubbery?
Don’t overbake; remove when center is just set and let rest off heat. - Are these meals suitable for strict keto macros?
They are low in carbs; adjust portions of vegetables and add fats (butter/olive oil) to hit strict macro targets. - Can I freeze any of these?
Freeze cooked chicken thighs and frittata slices (wrapped) up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating. - What if someone is allergic to dairy?
Use dairy-free cream substitutes (coconut cream) and omit cheese; flavor with extra herbs. - How to reduce sodium in the stir-fry?
Use low-sodium soy sauce and taste before adding more salt. - Can I make the meals one-pan to save cleanup?
Yes — make a large sheet-pan chicken with broccoli and a separate skillet for the frittata or turn the frittata into baked egg muffins.

Final Notes
These three meals are built to be economical, scalable, and simple to prepare while keeping carbs low and satiety high. The plan reduces waste by using overlapping ingredients (onions, olive oil, eggs) and focuses on techniques—roasting, baking, and stir-frying—that maximize flavor without expensive pantry items.
