Last week, I posted a question about what LCHF food people eat for lunch. I was salivating at the answers. I quickly realised that buying prepacked food at Tesco's, Sainsbury's or even M&S is not the best option. So, this week, I'll be starting on some of the following suggestions. There are enough suggestions for a good five working weeks, Thanks to everyone who responded.
a) Cold meats, chicken drums, cherry toms, egg mayo, mashed tinned salmon, cheese, nuts, yogurt and berries, and if you eat a bit of bread then one slice buttered, cut in half and folded then wrapped in tin foil will be fine.
b) Tesco do chicken pieces in their cooked meat section. They also do leafy salads in plastic bags as well as whole salad meals in plastic boxes.
c) Nuts are low GI and a few of them might be fine.
d) Lots of stuff in the veggie dept and berries and cream can last a few days in the plastic tubs they come in.
e) Corned beef is low carb so you make a corned beef salad
f) Original recipe KFC is low carb too believe it or not.
g) Do not buy things like dippers, nuggets or goujon since they are heavy on flour.
h) Avocados are great with just about everything and are full of healthy fat to power the working day. I am rather fond of mixing sliced avocado with mozzarella and tomatoes and a slug of extra virgin olive oil. Or what about avocado and prawns with a creamy dressing?
i) Mixed bean salads are filling and delicious. Open a can of them and add desired amount to tuna, smoked mackerel/trout/salmon etc. together with chopped celery/toms/cu/pepper/red onion etc. Dress with extra virgin olive oil and crushed garlic or a little lemon juice.
j) Boiled eggs and lentils make the basis for a good salad too. I stir in rocket along with tomatoes and the ubiquitous olive oil.
k) Pate or peanut butter or cream cheese with celery sticks.
l) Take a knife ,fork and spoon in the car or office then just buy cooked meat ,cheese, avocado ,salad leaves and you don't have to worry about finding somewhere to eat.
m) Chunks of cheese with salad
n) Greek yoghurt and berries
o) Sliced cold meat with cherry toms
p) 100g of President Brie with a bag of Posh Pork Scratchings.
Utterly fabulously awesome. I've never felt so comfortably alert, all afternoon. No wilting, no yawning, and no peckish ness til about 6pm.
q) Go to Sainsbury's and buy some olives, feta, tomatoes, cheese, salami, salad leaves, guacamole or avocado, houmous (but not too much of that), berries, cream, and just throw something together!
r) Berries and cream are lchf and there are strawberries and raspberries around at the moment and extra thick cream won't harm you and will keep hunger at bay for hours.
s) The yohgurts should not be overlooked. Put the no fat ones back on the shelf and get the Greek style with flavour.
t) Salmon salad
u) Ham with cheese and a sliced apple ( doesn't even raise my levels beyond 1 point at 1 or 2 hours!)
v) Prawns and cream cheese
w) Cold chicken and salad
x) Pre-plan and take in dishes of sugar free jelly
