Homemade bean chili with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
Frozen seasoned veg mix from the polish shop, I found it funny as it's supposed to be "Spanish style". It did taste good. Not the lowest carb as contains potato slices and chickpeas, but made a very complete meal in just 10 minutes, I combined it with smoked sausage, also from the polish shop, sliced and cooked in the same pan.
And today's lunch, a satisfying salad with twaróg (polish curd cheese) and vegan pesto dressing from Asda. Very tasty.
I had it with a piece of naan bread. I bought some last week and I found a whole bread had too many carbs for me go have in one go. So I cut them in 3 pieces each, left a couple for my meal and put the rest immediately in the freezer to avoid temptation
PS: I used to freeze part of my bread just to avoid food waste, because I was buying bigger packs and I wouldn't have time to eat all before it went bad. Now I see this as a way to have more flexibility, and sometimes more moderation, with my bread consumption. It can be I buy a nice loaf and I'm tempted to eat all in 2 days, but I know is not a good idea so I slice and freeze half of it to get it out of sight. But it can also happen I fancy a breadroll with a particular meal, have to buy the pack of 4 but I don't plan to eat any more the next days, I can pop the rest of the rolls in the freezer and don't have the pressure to eat them quickly. In the past I've avoided buying something similar because I thought "ugh, I want one of those but if I open the pack I have to eat the same 3 days in a row!" and I like variety.
I know I'm not discovering gunpowder with this, but maybe someone finds it a useful tip.

Definitely, the same with my low carb baking recipe it is for six muffins unless you have a family then it would be destroying all the hard work to eat them. I love the freezer for things like this and the microwave too as a min defrost those so I have no excuse if I want a quick eat and run breakfast. I also freeze things like almond milk for recipes as to have it all would clog my sink with waste not to state I'd be penniless too.

Love some of the ideas I'm always on the go and doing about 10 miles a day and reach for carbs to fill me up fill me up any ideas on what to have while on the go would be great x

Nuts. like macademia and almonds are low carb easy to have more though snacks.
I try not to eat between meals .
if your at home n not meeting people cheese or slices of meat are good to tide you through.
i believe if you have enough protein its supposed to help. Not sure if your looking to lose weight ?
If not then nuts, keto cookies, low carb blondies , occasional fruit is still a low healthy choice but not if sugar is high and your trying to lose imop.
I use a Warburtons 400gm medium sliced wholemeal loaf with no added sugar. 8.9gm carbs per slice. They toast up nice and crispy. I freeze the loaf and just take the slices as I need them. If you need bread and spread, they are best spread when still frozen. I did try all the low carb breads but in the end decided to stick to real bread, but just less of it. I did test myself and found two of these slices did not spike my glucose, so I have been having it ever since.
