Thanks! Question. I would like to have some no-carb foods to eat for breakfast and lunch while at work. No cooking, just pre-packaged or natural foods I can brown bag. It that possible?

If you have access to a microwave it is simple. I do it every day.

Here is something that can be prepared the night before and assembled in the morning.. Pop it into a micro, with the Tomato Sauce, or eat just the tomatoes and green beans chilled, either way it is delicious!

1. Chicken salad, tuna salad, turkey salad! Enjoy on a bed of lettuce with other fresh veggies or as a sandwich on low-carb bread.

2. Quesadillas! Fill low-carb tortillas with meats, vegetables and cheese.

3. Sandwiches! Stuff a low-carb tortilla or low-carb bread with avocado slices, chicken, sprouts and other veggies and protein.

4. Leftovers! Leftovers are great for both lunch and dinner. If you make a roast chicken the night before, you can use the meat as a base for either a salad or sandwich.

5. Ready-to-drink shakes or handy snack bars! Supplement these Atkins products with a piece of cheese or fresh vegetables. If you have moved beyond Induction, you can supplement with a some berries or a handful of nuts as well.

6. Caesar salad, Cobb salad, chef salad! Any salad that contains proteins (cheese, luncheon meat made without nitrates) and low-carb dressing is a healthy option.
