My backup plan just in case time is limited and I am starving is tinned yellow fish tuna or herring. Some weeks I must admit I will eat this three to four times over a seven day period. What is your back-up plan for a quick go to meal or snack? Just looking for some ideas to keep life a bit more interesting.

Thanks

A quick meal? Scramble 2 x eggs in the microwave, whilst a slice of HiLo bread toasts in the toaster straight from the freezer. Takes around three minutes

I always freeze my leftover meat from meals sonic I'm in a hurry or feeling lazy I just reheat and eat.

I usually have a couple of hard boiled eggs in the fridge, I can eat them alone or add some mayo/salad cream for a sandwich.
I also keep some tinned salmon in cupboard, again to make a sandwich with mayo.
Avocados and cooked chicken drumsticks are good too.

I love pork scratching's - just cannot always purchase them but is about the only thing I really enjoy. I snack on nuts whilst at work. When in need of something for a dessert - a cream filled eclair - I peel off the paste/chocolate and eat it - on occasions I use some sugar free chocolate melted and spoon on top then chill in fridge. I needed a 'sweet' treat that did not pack too high a punch.

Places, like Amazon will often be able to deliver in bulk, for example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pub-Origin...8467055&sr=8-2&keywords=pork+scratchings+bulk

I'm not suggesting that particular brand, just showing an example of how you might be able to keep a stock in.

Thanks Hotpepper, I love olives, I think I eat too many at times.
I am uncertain how carborific olives are. The jars of green olives in brine that I buy say 0g carb per 100g, but many carb counting sites give them many more carbs than that. I believe 0 per 100 could mean 0.9, but that is still pretty low. What do other olive eaters think?

I prefer pitted black olives, usually with a glass or two of wine. The carb content is low, and counterbalanced by the dietary fibre.
