Shirataki, cauli rice and big salads

Low carb meal plan in Bali

By The Solimans team · Yousri Soliman’s kitchen in Bali · Updated

Yes, you can eat low-carb in Bali without cooking. The Solimans High Protein plan averages about 29g of carbs a meal, less than half our Balanced menu, because pasta, rice and buns are swapped for shirataki noodles, cauliflower rice, lettuce and big salads. Meals cost from Rp 100K, carry full macros, and are delivered Monday to Saturday across Canggu and Pererenan. It is low-carb, not certified keto, and we explain the difference below.

How low in carbs is the High Protein menu?

Here is how it compares with our other two menus, on average per meal:

Menu Avg carbs Avg protein Avg fat Avg kcal
High Protein ~29g ~54g ~32g ~619
Balanced ~65g ~50g ~29g ~718
Vegan ~77g ~45g ~27g ~726

Carbs across High Protein mains range from 14g to 61g, so the menu is low-carb on average, not on every plate. A few mains with baked sweet potato sit above 45g. If you are keeping carbs tight, pick from the table below.

How do shirataki and cauliflower rice keep carbs down?

Shirataki noodles are made from konjac, a root fibre, and are naturally very low in carbs and calories. We use them in place of wheat noodles and pasta in dishes like Seafood Shirataki, Mie Goreng Shirataki and Pad Thai Chicken Shirataki. Cauliflower rice stands in for white rice in Chicken Cashew w/ Fried Cauli Rice and Cauli Rices Chicken Satay.

Sauces still carry some carbs (satay, teriyaki and sweet soy, for example), which is why those dishes land at 23–43g rather than single figures. The lettuce-bun burgers and grilled meat platters are the leanest on carbs.

Lighter low-carb mains on the menu

High Protein mains under 470 kcal, sorted by protein. Carbs on these run from 14g to 36g.

Is this a keto meal plan?

No, and we would rather be clear about that. Strict keto usually means keeping total carbs to roughly 20–50g a day, sometimes lower, so that your body shifts to burning mostly fat. A single meal from our menu can use up much of that budget, and we don't test for ketosis or certify any dish as keto.

If you want strict keto, or you are managing diabetes or another medical condition, speak to a doctor or registered dietitian first, then ask us for a custom meal plan built around your target carbs. For most people simply cutting back on rice, bread and sugar, the standard High Protein menu does the job. Our macros explained guide covers how carbs, protein and fat fit together.

Is low-carb good for weight loss?

Low-carb can make a calorie deficit easier for some people, mainly because higher-protein meals tend to keep you full. Fat loss still comes down to eating fewer calories than you burn over time, and we can't promise any particular result. See our weight loss meal plan for how to set up a steady 300–500 kcal deficit.

How does delivery work?

You order at least 2 meals a day for 5–7 days on build your week. Meals arrive Monday to Saturday, breakfast around 9–10 AM and lunch and dinner around 11 AM–12 PM, across Canggu, Pererenan, Seseh and nearby, with Gojek for other areas.
