Lower Carb Ideas

Hi everyone!  I am looking for some lunch/snack ideas that are in the low carb arena.

I'm doing a modified Atkins with doctor supervision and am really struggling with lunch and snacks...salads are going to be boring if that is all I can come up with for lunch!

TIA!

Re: Lower Carb Ideas

  • Assuming you are referring to 'carbs' as grains and starches, therefore fruit and veggies are allowed:

    Veggie soup
    Hummus and carrots
    Hard boiled egg
    Plain Greek yogurt and berries
    Fruit salad
    Tuna and avocado lettuce wraps
    Black bean, tomato and avocado salad
    Cherry tomatoes and ranch dip
    Chopped chicken breast salad
    Pizza made with a baked cauliflower crust
    Chili
    Edamame

  • I try to eat low carb at lunch, and I usually do end up having a salad because I can get so many veggies in there and I feel good the rest of the afternoon, especially if I have some grilled chicken or egg, too.

    Otherwise I do lots of broth-based soups packed with veggies, Greek yogurt, apples and peanut butter, any type of sandwich fixings in a low-carb wrap. I don't count carbs, but I know what has lots of carbs and what doesn't. If I stick with eggs for breakfast, and these items for a typical lunch, then I add in some healthy carbs at dinner - baked sweet potato or some whole grain rice, etc.

  • Celery with peanut butter eggs usually meats as long as they are not glazed or something also green beans up to three servings also pepperidge farms has a whole wheat thin slice bread that is three slices for like 13 carbs so you can have say three of those with peanut butter or something also smuckers has a jelly that is 3/4 lower sugar than others and taste great so if you feel like your starving eat two or three slices of that bread with pb and that jelly and some eggs with three slices bacon and it about 15 carbs all together lol I have really been wanting breakfast stuff by the way I am a type 1 diabetic with a insulin pump for about 8 years
