At least a few nights a week I find myself making a whole plate of potatoes with some greens, broccoli, spices and a lotof fat. If you have enough of those you can get about 20g of protein at the meal and it will fill you up. If you're on a lower carb diet and you're asking what you eat when you have no meat you should give up and go try to hunt some hapless neighborhood critter.

edit: not me. Bad!

Definitely eggs. Cottage cheese is high in protein, too.

Just a heads up, I am not strict by any means, but, if you don't have any animal type proteins in your fridge then stir-frying up veggies is my favorite thing when I don't have anything better to make. If you have almonds, that tastes pretty good along with the veggies :]. Or I fast.

Meat isnt my preferred protein. So i do not usually run out of it. I keep a weeks worth of portions of red wine braised oxtail in freezer. I prefer fresh fish for my daily protein. But its even more hassle to source and keep. So often have to resort to meat. Sometimes i eat canned cod liver, but i dont eat any other canned, fishs, the taste is just little too much like cat food ;)

taking one day a week off protein sounds perfectly sensible to me. just another kind of fast. see Eat Stop Eat.

autophagy ftw!

Avocados with lemon juice and/or celery with almond butter. If still hungry, add coconut butter or macadamia nuts.

But I try to stock a couple pounds of 100% grass-fed ground beef or bison in the freezer for those emergency nights . . . .

eggs and if you're lacto paleo, dairy products.

That's when I reach for that can of salmon in the back of the pantry. Or I'll just skip the protein part of the meal and eat whatever is in the frige. One night last week I had left-over sweet potato and 1/2 a cantaloupe for dinner.

it depends on what my body is hungry for, if i need protein then it would be eggs or some kinda dairy. if im craving a lot of fat i might have a lot of coconut milk in a curry type thing with veggies.

and sometimes times like this result in late night shopping trips.

eat meat or go hungry.

eggs or sardines

Hot dogs are totally not Paleo. I would not have those chemical tubes in my fridge.They are toxic. I was surprised to see them on your post.

I would either eat a salad or cook some kind of hash out of what veggies I had. Or I would just skip the meal until I got to the store to hunt down some more meat. Actually I get a half of a grass fed Angus from a friend who raises them. I am never in this predicament.I usually have a stack of sardines in olive oil and a few bags of individually wrapped frozen wild caught salmon in the freezer. stock up when meat is on sale. Save up and buy a small freezer.

I almost always have eggs for this situation. If i had neither I would run to the store or take meat out of the freezer.

However if I was really pressed I would eat veggies with butter or cheese.
