Low carb prepare ahead-of-time lunch ideas?

cdavislynn

A PP gave me an idea to post this question: what are some healthy, low carb things that you make for work lunches? I am in a rut with basic salads every day. I hate thinking and preparing too much in the evenings for what I will eat for lunch the next day. Any good ideas? I have thought about making some soups and freezing them in containers.
What are your favorite bring-to-work lunches?

Have you checked out the south beach cook book or any of those books? I love all the recipes!! The cilantro mayo drives me crazy, so I love doing lettuce wraps and dipping. I have a million ideas, hope this helped, if not hit me back and Ill give you more.

-Chicken fajitas with no tortillas. I use chicken, peppers, onions, and some mushrooms and add some seasoning.

-turkey chilli

-white chicken chilli

-pulled pork with no bun

-chicken shrimp or steak stir fry with no rice

hope this helps

I am not sure if you can find these where you are from but I eat La Tortilla Factory whole grain wraps.  They are 80 Kcal 3 g fat , 3 carbs, and pack 14 g of fiber.  I use them for sandwiches everyday for lunch.  Little turkey and a lot of veggies.  They also make a small taco size version that I use for tacos and even put a little PB on it before a run!  They are super filling because of all of the fiber but the fiber is what helps make the net carb count so low.

I make extra of whatever I cook for dinner, and then I have a smaller portion of leftovers for lunch. It definitely takes a lot of the thought out of figuring out what to have for lunch.

 So . . . for example, if I cook something for dinner that is 6 servings total, the two of us each eat 1 1/2 servings for dinner, and then there are 3 lunch sized servings left.

I just prepped some chicken salad sandwich mix and wrapped it in lettuce.

Its really simple: 1 boiled chicken breast cut up, some choppen celery and onion, a little salt/ pepper, and some light mayo. Mix it together and add it to 2-3 large pieces of lettuce! YUM!
