low carb dinner/lunch ideas to take to work

One of my favorites is Chicken Salad made with chicken breasts, onion, celery, and mayo. Cut a tomato into a "flower wedge" and place the chicken salad on top. You can also put it on top of lettuce. You can use tuna as well ( white, Albacore, no oil)

Stewed Tomatoes with butter, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper.

Kabobs

Leftover low carb pizza

There are Adkin's approved low carb wraps available that you could fill with meat/fish and veggies. Or use large lettuce or greens leaves as wraps instead of bread.

A salad with plenty of leafy greens, veggies, and cheese, eggs, meat, fish, seeds and/or nuts is a good healthy low carb option.

Omelet's are pretty easy to cook or reheat if you have a microwave.

Soup or stew is also a good option. Make a big batch with plenty of meat and veggies and you have lunch for several days.

Or, what I find easiest for lunch is leftovers!! Assuming you have a low carb dinner, just make a little extra and tomorrow's lunch is taken care of.

I hope this thread gets more action... this is an awesome question!

One of my favorites is to heat up my George Foreman grill in the morning and cook a serving of salmon (Costco sells these perfectly portioned peices, frozen, individually wrapped). I'll grill him up, let it cool, put it in a baggie... Then I'll make an awesome salad with spring mix, spinach, diced carrots, celery and sweet mini bell peppers. I'll bring whatever kinda salad dressing with me that I want and wala!!!! awesome salmon salad.

I'll do that same thing with chicken...

But it's very low in carbs, lots of vitamins because of the vege's, and good in protien. I know people are probably tired of hearing "just eat a salad"... but with all the different dressings and add-on's - it's not a bad choice for me.

Ohh low carb is my preferred method of eating so this topic is great!!! One of my favorite standby meals is scrambled egg BLT"S. I make the eggs (can even be microwaved if you're in a hurry) then use a few large lettuce leaves, add the turkey bacon, a little chopped tomato and a tiny dab of lite mayo and even cheese depending on my calories for the day. Perfect for easy on the go food as well!

I love L.C. I have so many outstanding recipies ,when I have dinner guests they have no clue they are eating "diet" food ...Do you do "oopsies"? I make rolls and flatbread....use for sandwhiches and burgers and such...LC has come a long way:)

Hmmm what's "oopsies" please explain, it seems interesting

Thanks!!

Chicken shish-kabobs (however you spell it):

1-2 Chicken Breast (no skin/no bone)
1 Red/Green/Yellow Bell Pepper
1 Pack of Baby Bell Mushrooms
1/2 Onion
1/4 teaspoon of meat Tenderizer
1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon of steak seasoning or Mr. Dash
1-4 shish-kabob sticks (depends on amount you are preparing)

Cut chicken breast, pepper, and onion into cubes/squares (not too small) and place into a bowl. Clean and cut the mushrooms in halves and place with rest of ingredients. Take spices and mix in with ingredients let it sit for 30 minutes and absorb the flavor. Take your cut pieces and evenly distribute them onto shish-kabob sticks. I grill them on the George Foreman grill for about 10 min.

If you're not on pinterest yet, get it! OMG I have so many fun new recipes and idea from there I'll never be able to make them all. I have an entire board full of various dietary type recipes - low carb, gluten free, dairy free, paleo etc...

If you're googling though, look for recipes based on diabetic diets, weight loss surgery recipe blogs, south beath, atkins etc... they all eat low carb and there are tons of them out there.

My favorite thing is cooking in muffin tins.... you know exactly how many servings you have to put in the recipe builder and they are easy to take and nuke at lunch. I make little mini quiches and quinoa patties and turkey meatloaf type things in muffin tins all the time.

I love grilled chicken topped with Broccoli and Mushrooms with Alfredo sauce over it!
