Low Carb Spiced Parmesan Pork Chops

I'm new to the world of low carb and quite honestly, it has been super hard. I never realized how many carbs I potentially eat in a day. I love bread. I love pasta. I love rice. Nothing about these three loves is low carb. I've been doing some research and I know that drastically cutting these down in my diet will not only help lose weight, but it has the potential to reverse or ease a variety of my PCOS symptoms. It's a win-win if I can get myself fully on board.

I've been working hard to find filling low carb meals that all of us can enjoy. I came up with a recipe that fits the bill. It will definitely be made again.

Spiced Parmesan Pork Chops

6 lean, pork tenderloin chops
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp of 6 Pepper Spice seasoning (we got this from Sam's)

Preheat own to 400.

Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray. 

In a gallon size bag, combine the cheese and seasoning. Add 2 chops at a time and shake them in the seasoning to coat.

Place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until meat is tender and no longer pink.

Serve with your choice of side. 

Each chop is 1 carb, 24g  protein, 125 calories and 3.5g fat.
