How to Eat Low Carb on the Go

Eating low-carb can sometimes be a challenge, especially if you are on the go and not able to prepare your own meals. When in a bind, such as a roadtrip or near-famished state, you may need to stop at a party store or convenience store to eat. Here is how to do so in a low-carb or no-carb fashion, and still feel satisfied.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. So you're stuck eating at a convenience store for a meal? Head to the refrigerated deli section for your main course. Lunch-a-bles, once a kids paper bag staple are your new best friend. These quick and easy deli combos are great. Simply toss the crackers and you have yourself a make-shift meat and cheese spread. Bonus points if you find a lean meat lunch-a-ble, like turkey. Even more bonus points for a packet of mustard.
2. If breakfast is your fancy, grab a microwavable egg sandwich. Pop it in the store's micro-oven, zap, and then simply remove the biscuit bun. An instant low-carb sausage and egg treat is now at your disposal.
3. Avoid the chip aisle and find those nuts. Nuts are low-carb staples, so grab a bag of peanuts, almonds, or cashews and enjoy without wasting carbs.
4. Another great snack, found right in the deli refrigerated section, is cheese sticks. Perfect treats for those watching carbs, these delicious sticks also pack limited calories as well. Grab one of these as a great addition to your low-carb meal.
5. If you are still craving more meat, head over to the beef jerky department. All convenience stores are sure to have a decent selection of beef jerky sticks, including beef and cheese combinations. Both of these are great options for those watching their carbs.
6. Need a drink to wash down your delicious and fast carb-less meal? There are lots of options to choose from here. Water, of course, is a great choice. Also, diet sodas carry no carbs as well. Stay away from juices and other artificial beverages if you are avoiding carbs.
