(note: if you want to start a low-carb diet yourself, I recommend reading why: Why We Get Fat (including a simple how — and it’s the “how” I’m doing) and how: New Atkins.)
For lunch or dinner, I used to like eating a tuna sandwich. I’ve had to get creative with ingredients, so I feel like it’s my tuna salad is a true replacement.
Here’s what can go in (sometimes all at once), depending on what’s in the fridge:
- Can of Tuna
- Chicken – from a can, or cooked and cooled then chopped/diced
- Mayonnaise or Vegenaise
- Mustard
- Tabasco
- Pickle – diced
- Tomato – diced
- Bell Pepper – diced
- Olives – sliced or chopped
- Pepperoncini or Jalapeño peppers – diced
- Bacon – crumbled
- Roasted Nuts – chopped
- Cheese – parmesan or finely shredded cheddar blend
- Lettuce – either as a bed or shredded and mixed in
