Cutting out bread(carbs) any meal ideas

There are low carb options for tortillas, which I use if I want something "sandwhichy". Ole' Xtreme wellness has only 5 grams of net carbs (carbs minus the dietary fiber and/or sugar alcohols), and they are pretty good

I only eat bread a few times a year, usually when I'm staying with family/friends. There are many great bread-less lunch ideas! I usually eat scrambled eggs with some cut-up vegetables on the side, or oatmeal. You can also make extras for dinner and eat that for lunch - leftover chicken, or casserole, or whatever you like! Try googling 'paleo lunch ideas' or bento lunches and customize it to your preferences.

make protein bread see proteinpow.com x

Atkins makes some pretty tasty frozen meals...would be perfect for a quick lunch at work.

I often take leftover chicken from the night before. With some veggies and brown rice on the side, you have a filling lunch. Leftover veggie/chicken stir fry also makes for a great lunch.

If you enjoy sandwiches, you can cut down on your carb intake by eating it open-faced. That's the only way I'll eat sandwiches anymore.

I like to replace my bread with big leaves of romaine. I call them lettuce boats and you can put just about anything in them. Make egg salad and line the leaf then just fold the edges in. You can do the same with tuna. Or chickpea salad (just like tuna salad except replace tuna with chickpeas.)

When I have to have something, I use the arnolds or brownberry 100 calorie sandwich rounds. They are flat disc bread cut in half so each side is 50 calories. I use them for pizza crust or make them into an inside out grilled cheese. Even if you use 1.5 or 2, it is not a deal breaker. I usually add lots of veggies or romaine on the side to really feel full.

I stopped eating carbs after lunch. For dinner I swap out carbs for veggie equivalants. Butternut squash fries, cauliflower rice, spaghetti squash, portobello mushroom pizza crust. the hungry girl does a ton of swaps, go to her web site for ideas. After you get dinner mastered you can switch out lunch then breakfast.

I don't know that you have to cut it out completely but reduce it. You can look at my diary it is open; though I traveled this weekend and the previous so those are not good examples.

I do things like tuna salad without bread, and vegetables or just a slice of either gluten free bread or sprouted grain bread (depends on which I can find)

I also do hearty soups, like home made (it's very easy) butternut squash soup with a salad or I make some turkey chili or veggie chili both chocked full of vegetables.

You can also make any type of wrap using red or green leaf lettuce, romaine or cabbage as your "bread"; I like humus, avocado, tomato and calamata olives.

I also make a "pasta" from zucchini and bake it just a little so that it doesn't get too soupy and add my pasta sauce to it and some freshly grated Parmesan (yummy); you can also do this with spaghetti squash by baking it.

If I'm in a hurry; I throw some raw spinach or salad greens in a bowl and warm up a can of Wolfgang Puck's minestrone soup and pour on top of it. That way I'm getting some "raw' or mostly raw and something warm too.

I do a cauliflower mash (steam a head of cauliflower (leaves and stem too) and puree with 1 cup of 0% fat fagi yogurt..season to taste); I include a bocca burger with tomato, lettuce and veggie cheese or sometimes do provolone or swiss and I love grey poupon...skip the bread or one slice of bread.

My favorite thing in the world, and it's pretty filling too, a can of tuna, an avacado...mash it up, take what you want and roll it in a lettuce leaf and yummo!!! Also, cucumber sandwhich's (whatever in between cucumbers) you can also make cauliflower pizza crusts but you don't have to use them as pizza crusts always, break them off for dips or just put whatever you like on them.

I use dark greens as wraps (collards, Swiss chard), just cut out the stems!
I also found an awesome recipe for foccacia-style flax bread. No flour and pretty easy, no kneading and takes 20 minutes to bake.
My advice is to let it sit 5 minutes before pouring it into the pan, so it rises enough.
Here's the recipe: [there's also almost no net carbs (since all carbs in flax is fiber). Not even 1 gram (which comes from the baking powder)]

Natural fat free greek yohurt. Add splenda powder and mint sauce. Makes a perfect dip for mange tout, carrot ect. And is handy for lunch

I sometimes do a frittata type thing for lunches. Basically, it's beaten eggs, and add any things you think would be nice with it: cheese, cooked meat, herbs, nuts, seeds, flavourings, cooked vegetables - be inventive!. I like spicy ones, with hot sauce, or you could try a Meditteranean one with olives, feta cheese, etc. Pour the eggs into a pan, start cooking them like an omelette and add the other ingredients. Finish off under the grill. You could probably also just bake it in the oven. Cut it into slices like a pizza, wrap them, put them in the fridge and take them in for lunch. They are nice cold, I think, if you have used well-flavoured foods and some salt or soy sauce (if you eat added salt). They're handy if you're wanting something high protein/low carb.

Also - leftovers from the evening meal the night before!

You can use lettuce as a wrap for a sandwich.... Pretty tasty!

I love using lettuce instead of bread or tortillas for my meals! Once you start doing it, you'll realize how much you can really do with this replacement. Everything i've tried still tastes great and much more fresh. Plus, It is much cheaper.

I really love vegetarian tacos or fajitas on lettuce... but I guess you could just call them lettuce wraps!

Also, I would check out some gluten-free blogs for more ideas.
