Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Out for the day on the train tomorrow.
We are planning what to take for food, and the easy option is always sandwiches.
Wraps are also pretty easy.
I think this is because you can put a meal together in an easy to handle package.
Alternatives such as plastic boxes with salad, hard boiled eggs etc. are feasible but eating them is a little more complex.
Chunks of cheese are a protein snack but can be boring.
I find this a balancing act between low carb and functionality.
If you are just out without any food then pre-packed sandwiches are by far the easiest.
I am going to go with a chicken mayo and salad wrap tomorrow because I thing the wrap will have less total carbohydrate than an equivalent bread - that is, enough to hold the whole hand meal together.
This occurrence is rare enough not to get into preparing alternative low carb breads.
How does the team cope?
Edit: just come back from the shops and the only wrap they had was 45+ grams of carbohydrate per 100 grams.
I ended up buying a brown loaf with 37 grams of carb per 100 grams.
