Packed Lunch Box

[Jaz006]

Hi guys

Since being diagnosed with sweet blood. I have lived off and enjoyed salads at lunch time. But now the weather is on the turn i am looking for alternatives. I don't fancy a wholemeal sandwich. Any ideas anyone??

Do you have access to a microwave at lunchtime? If so, you could just cook an extra portion of whatever you have for dinner and take that for lunch the next day.

Do you have a microwave at work?

You can get food flasks that seem to be big enough to take a fair sized portion of soup or stew etc. A lovely portion of home made beef stew is just the thing on an autumnal or winter's day.

Hello. I am a community worker doing home visits so its rare that I am in the office
So I need a combination of office food and food that I can eat when I'm the car. I am so missing crisps.

I am so with you on the Crisps front! Havn't found a low carb alternative yet that comes close but I continue my search.

Pork scratchings?

Pork scratchings?

Not a lover of scratchings at all. I did try the salami 'crisps' and found those really nice but they don't have the crunch factor.

Pork scratchings are an acquired taste ... but my favourite snack nowadays is a variant called "Mr. Porky Crispy Strips." Tastes much better than traditional pork scratchings, I think. Carbohydrates per 20g serving 0.1g (it comes in 40g bags). Very salty, but that applies to all sorts of snacks, low-carb or not....

As good as crisps? Almost.

You might also consider nuts. They vary a lot in carb content, so it's worth checking first on the Diet Doctor site (https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/nuts).

I agree about pork scratchings, I have always liked them though.
Nuts are a good idea too

Quinoa? I sometimes cook quinoa with roasted veg and chuck in feta cheese or meat of some kind. Its lovely cold and more substantial than leaves.

@Guzzler try these ones (available at Asda, Sainsbury’s, Coop in single packs). Much more like crisps (I also miss them) than traditional pork scratchings.

@Jaz006 a bit like eating Frazzles.

Thank you, will keep my eye out for those.

Quinoa is not low carb though.

Fritatta? Sausages?

 

[DCUKMod]

You could do a low carb fritatta, as that can be eaten hot or cold.

If your salami crisps don't snap and crunch, they need zapping a little longer.

I buy a lot of low carb soups. 300 ml can be as low as 9g carb. My favourite at the moment is Slow Roast Tomato.

 

[Rachox]

These are nice hot or cold:

Have you found any low carb soups in tins
rather than the chilled sort?
