Salads and soups can be low carbohydrate, but unless a food causes your blood glucose to raise significantly 2 hours after eating, there's no need to avoid.

There are loads of lunch box ideas, but it would be really helpful to understand what you like to eat, and also a little about your owrk environment; whether you have access to a microwave for heating, and/or a fridge to keel "stuff" cool.

Can I just ask - what is considered a significant rise after eating? How close to the before meal test should I be looking to be after a meal?
