re: Low Carb favorites

For times when you don't want to cook but do low carb here were some of my go-to fast and easy meals.

Jack in the Box - Ultimate Cheeseburger. I would get it without ketchup which has carbs and throw away the bun. Two beef patties, two types of cheese and mayo.


Wendy's classic double - throw away the bun and use the two patties as the bread with lettuce, tomato and pickles in the middle.

Walmart lemon pepper rotisserie chicken


Get tacos at Taco Bell, dump the meat and lettuce in a bowl and throw away the shells.

I think the fastest, best and easiest were the HEB frozen hamburger patties. You can always have them on hand in the freezer. They taste like they just came off the grill and take two minutes in the microwave.


Popeye's has the naked chicken strips. You can get chicken salads - hold the croutons and carrots. Chinese buffets usually have at least a few items that will be low carb - pepper steak, beef or chicken shish kabobs, salt pork, cabbage dishes, etc.

These plus other low carb meals will make it easier to stick to the diet. The most important thing is variety.
