    Don't need a fridge for any of these great ideas--I freeze small bottles of water and pack one w/ the food. Then my lunch is cold and I have some cold water to drink too.

    In what universe are chickpeas low in carbs and high in protein? they have twice as many grams of carbs as protein.

    In the universe of Glycemic Index where all carbs are not evil.

    The same for Black Beans

    True. But OP wasn't asking for low GI foods, OP was asking for low carb high protein.

    Chickpeas, yogurt, blueberries, beans, peanut butter, fruit, jelly. Low carb?

    Low carb high protein but high calorie, I like peanut butter on celery.

    I wouldn't personally consider peanut butter to be low-carb.

    I personally wouldn't consider beans, fruit or jelly (or peanut butter) to be low carb?

    Or chick peas or yogurt?

    My go to meal is this

    http://www.familysavvy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/photo-e1365372406434.jpg

    + shrimp or tuna.

    Packed full of protein; and if you make your own dressing it can be very healthy too.

    I sometimes have a large tub of Fage % Greek Yogurt and Maple syrup.....high protein and very filling!

    Maple syrup, while delicious, is not low-carb.

    I eat the heck out of Oscar Meyer Deli Sliced Turkey.... Sometimes that is all I have for lunch no bread. Some days I do miss bread soooo very much. Not today for some reason.

    Tuna/chicken/salmon/surimi/shrimp/clam salads made with Greek yogurt instead of mayo with 1/4 cup frozen edamame and 1/4 cup frozen corn. Blend and serve.

    egg whites with a very small amount of lean ham with a little bit of cheese- this is under 250 calories and very filling.

    Ground turkey with Taco seasoning, 1 quarter of avocado, 1 TBS of Sour cream, small amount of cheese (1/4 cup or less), and Romaine lettuce- about 350 calories

    Sara Lee light wheat bread, lean Turkey breast, and American cheese- around 300 calories--- the light bread has around 22 grams of carbs for 2 slices so not carb free but much less than reg. bread. Very satisfying.


    Avoid Tuna it is VERY high in mercury and therefore, very toxic.

    fresh ground peanut butter is low carb. More and more stores have the fresh grind machines. Delicious and no sugar or hydrogenated oils.
