Low Carb Menu #4 No Cooking Required

I’ve had requests for menus that don’t require cooking. You don’t need to go near a stove or even a microwave for this one, and you can even have a “drive-through lunch”. Of course, that means it’s a cold menu – good for when you’re on the run.

Breakfast

* 1/2cup All Bran Cereal with Extra Fiber with

* 1/2 cup milk

* 3/4 cup strawberries

* 3 tbs. sliced almonds

Lunch

* Drive to Wendy’s or El pollo Loco, Order 2 Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwiches (or two chicken breast if you are at El Pollo loco) and a Caesar’s Salad. Throw away the buns and croutons.  Most fast food places now have similar options.

Snack

* 3 large mushrooms, each with 1 tbs. of cream cheese-based cheese spread

Dinner

* Chicken Club Wraps: Wrap the following divided between 3 large lettuce leaves. You can use low carb tortillas, but adjust the carb and fiber counts.

* 4 oz cooked chicken from deli (I get the whole roasted chickens)

* 1/2 cup sliced red pepper

* 1 plum tomato, sliced

* 1/2 avocado

* 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise

* Dessert: Raspberry Vanilla Cream – don’t worry, you can blend it up in 5 minutes
