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 you're on a road trip or have to make it to an important meeting, you may need to stop at a convenience store to eat. Although such stores are filled to the brim with carbs, you can find low-carb options to satisfy your hunger. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Instructions

1

So you're stuck eating at a convenience store for a meal? Head to the refrigerated deli section for your main course. Lunchables aren't just a kid's paper-bag staple -- they're your new best friend. Toss the crackers and you have yourself a makeshift meat-and-cheese spread. Choose a lean-meat Lunchable such as turkey. Grab a packet of deli mustard if there's one lying around.

2

Grab a microwavable egg sandwich if it's breakfast time. Pop it in the store's microwave, zap, and then remove the biscuit bun. An instant low-carb sausage-and-egg treat is now ready for you to enjoy.

3

Avoid the chip aisle and find nuts. Nuts are low-carb staples, so grab a bag of peanuts, almonds or cashews and enjoy without wasting carbs. If you do find yourself in the chip aisle, reach for pork rinds.

4

Find cheese sticks in the refrigerated section. 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

Pick out a jar of pickles. Most convenience stores carry the fermented, crisp treat.

6

If you are still craving more meat, head over to the beef jerky department. All convenience stores are sure to have a selection of beef jerky sticks, including beef and cheese combinations.

7

Need a drink to wash down your carb-less meal? There are plenty of options to choose from here. Water, of course, is a staple. Also, diet sodas carry no carbs as well. Stay away from juices and other artificial beverages if you are avoiding carbs.
