Sometimes it can be challenging to come up with low carb ideas for lunch, so what are you having for lunch?

Please feel free to share a picture if you would like to do so!

Premier Protein (Caramel)

Good grief, I gotta get out of this lazy stage.

I just grabbed a Premier Protein shake for lunch. (3 net carbs)

Chicken Salad

Although it isn't pretty (no picture of it) one of my favorite lunches (and what I had today) has become almost a comfort food for me.

Chicken Salad

4 oz Chunk White Chicken Canned (Sweet Sue)
2 Hard Boiled Eggs (Chopped)
1 Simply Pickles Kosher Dill Spears (Chopped)
2 TBLS Hellmanns Mayonaise

It has very few (if any carbs) and I really enjoy it. Sometimes I eat it over a bed of salad, but today, I ate it as is.

My Own Blended Protein Shake

Every now and then, especially when I am busy, I like to mix up my own blended protein shake.

It makes me feel full so that I can get by until dinner without needing to add extra snacks, etc.

2 Cups Unsweetened coconut/almond milk blend.
1 Scoop Protein Powder. (I use Body Fortress 100% Protein Isolate - 2 net carbs)
1 teaspoon Instant coffee.
2 tbsp PB2 powdered peanut butter.

I usually add a dash of granulated Splenda and cinnamon.

Smoked turkey sandwich: 3 slices of deli meat folded over a slice of smoked gouda cheese. That's all - very good and filling. If I had wanted to go to more trouble, I'd have spread the inside with mayo and put in a leaf of lettuce. But was being lazy today.

I've tried those Premier Shakes, tasted good but it spiked my BG. I do fine with Quest brand though.

Today for lunch I had a lettuce wrap(romaine) with homemade Caesar dressing, tuna, cheese, a couple olives and some hemp hearts and two small pickles.

lettuce carrot purple cabbage salad
ranch dressing
parmesan cheese
bacon

 

[Bunjee]

lettuce, green pepper, radish, onion, mushroom
can tuna fish
1/4 cup shredded cheddar
sprinkle of parmesian

I usually only use dressing when the lettuce/salad fixings are getting a little old.

For lunch:

Green salad with 2 tbsps of Ranch dressing
1 tbsp. of sliced almonds
1/2 avocado
3 chicken tenderloins pan-fried in coconut oil (night before)
squash zucchini noodles simmered with tenderloins
1/4 cup of tomato sauce added to simmer

That sounds delicious, alamogirl

OMG, I am such a pig! At 79, I eat practically everything I've ever eaten (except for pizza and alcohol) all my life. A1c was 6.3 last blood test. BUT, since going on the pump 30 months ago, I have gained 15 pds, due maybe to all the insulin I get now through the pump. Did so much better, glucose levels, with injection therapy, two insulins, and metformin. Oh, boy, how I miss the metformin.

 

[mbuster]

Judyp, why blame it on the insulin pump? What are you eating that requires the insulin?

Leftover stir fry made with Birds Eye frozen Asian Medley, chicken, olive oil and 5 chunks of pineapple. 15.2 gr. carbs.

Hamburger wrap

Hamburger patty, melted cheese and a thin slice of tomato, wrapped in lettuce. A few pork rinds for crunch. I spread mayo on the lettuce and also add about a tsp. of ketchup.

Dry Pizza (no sauce)

Fried up some hamburger and cut up pepperoni and stirred in some Parmesan cheese. Meanwhile, heated up a piece of pizza crust I keep in the freezer, melted provolone on it, and topped with the hot meat. Yum.

(no sauce because I didn't want to open a jar of spaghetti/pizza sauce just for one piece. )

Today, I had a big craving for a hamburger and fries from this place called Brenda's Burgers.

So, I went to McD's and ordered the #5 Artisan Grilled Chicken Sandwich with side salad instead of fries and Ranch dressing. All of a sudden I started to smell fries...LOL...I was really craving fries.

When I got to my office, buried under my Artisan Grilled Chicken was an order of fries...LOL! The Universe came through for me

SIGH...I threw them away

I go to Wawa and get a whole wheat shorti, ham and swiss, extra oil and vinegar, cukes, roasted red peppers, spinach and lettuce.

Just always do that.

f-d

Haven't a clue as to what we're having today.

My lunch reminded me of Kraft dinner, so maybe I'll call it KD(keto dinner).

Basically, I took a can of 1 inch long, waxed beans yellow, and made a sauce for it using butter, franks hot sauce, and Greek feta dressing.

When I was stirring the sauce into the bowl, the beans really reminded me of KD noodle. I have to admit, the beans have a relatively bland flavor to them that easily takes just about any sauce flavor I can dream of.

This meal can be healthy or sinful, just by controlling the sauce.
