I assume you are looking for low carb vegetarian alternatives to cheese as there is always meat and fish.
But, if you want vegetarian, I would suggest nuts, eggs, tofu and cheese which is not obviously cheese like paneer and halloumi.
I bought some "shell on" nuts for Christmas (unfortunately, I don't see them much any other time of the year). Needing to crack them before eating, helps with my regulating.Nuts, open a pack and they just disappear... not good at regulating,
Tuna? You can get them in cans sized from tiny to huge and I find it delicious just eaten out of the can....
I buy packs of cooked, sliced ham, beef or chicken from Aldi. It's more expensive than cooking your own joints but handy when life gets difficult.Thank you for your suggestions. I'm okay with meat but just wondering about ease, cold chicken and the like are fine but they are not something I have in the fridge, like cheese.
Nuts, open a pack and they just disappear... not good at regulating, so tend not to have them in the house.
Eggs, I do eat a lot of them in one form or other, fried and omelettes esp.
Off to Lidl's tomorrow, weather allowing, and remembering they do an "off cuts" of ham and or beef, which I will check out.I buy packs of cooked, sliced ham, beef or chicken from Aldi. It's more expensive than cooking your own joints but handy when life gets difficult.
Sometimes I buy a whole roasted chicken from the market and just rip bits off.
I found these in the Polish section of Asda. 1 g per100Do dill pickles count as Low carb?
