Hi all I have a problem finding foods to eat that are low carb and healthy during work on building sites I get bad anxiety from this
 
Boiled eggs nuts pork scratchings tinned fish low carb bread with meat on maybe a chicken leg there's loads of stuff to put in your lunch box.
 
I used to feel that there wasn't anything available. The obvious option is a packed lunch, but failing this is there a supermarket near by; you could go to the cooked meat section for choices of chicken, bacon ribs, sausages. Alternatively I have noticed 150 g of yogurt (Yeo Valley for example), which would go great with a 3 sector blueberry, raspberry and strawberry punnet with some plain mixed nuts - for a bit a decadence some dark chocolate squares. Another option is some deli cheese to go with either of the 2 aforementioned.

Just takes a little planning where you can mix up different choices for different days,. You may have some envious feelings towards colleagues with their crisps, sandwiches etc, but much of these convenience foods are not that healthy.
 
Thanks for advice I jst struggle some times and make out it's harder than it is I think. But will try these out thanks love you all for the help
 
Hi Colsey, does low carb mean no carb? Wholemeal bread sandwiches (without mayo) provide slower release low GI carb, bananas do the same - no need to wrap - and carbs and Cals will tell you the carb content. Are you carb counting for the amount of insulin to inject?

Do you actively want to eat low carb are or you merely looking for foods to eat that don't require a lot/any bolus insulin?
 
To make it easier on myself, I cook once eat twice ie I cook leftovers from dinner for lunch the next day. Today had meatballs w salad for lunch & I threw in a couple of hard boiled eggs for snacks.
