10 Nigerian Friendly Low Carb Dinner Ideas

1. Gizdodo

This is one of those meals that taste so good, you’ll have to double check whether they’re actually good for you. Rest assured that gizdodo is good for you as long as you broil the plantains (instead of frying) and incorporate lots of fresh vegetables.

8. Efo Egusi

If you’re an active person, it’s okay to have a little bit of fufu with your efo egusi. Otherwise, just the soup itself is quite satisfying especially when paired with a good source of protein.
