Eating on the go!

Eating low carb on the go isn't necessarily an easy feat.

This month is going to be rough for healthy eating. I'll be on the road & out of the office a lot, on top of working late nights.  This 'season' last year, I was in and out of drive thrus and I didn't know any different.

I've got a game plan for this year, and I've stockpiled the glove compartment in my car with:

• Smokehouse Almonds (5g of carbs)

• Dark Cocoa Roasted Almonds (4g of carbs - 100 calorie packs are a beautiful thing)

• Atkins snack bars - carb count varies

My refrigerator is also prepared for lots of meals-on-the-go, that won't need to be reheated (since I'll most likely be eating in my car):

WEEK 1

• Gazpacho (11g of carbs)

• Buffalo chicken salad (3g of carbs)

• Celery sticks & peanut butter with flax seed (5g for peanut butter)

• Persian cucumbers (seedless & tiny) - my all time favorite, found at Trader Joe's

• String cheese

• Sugar free jello

• Black olives

• Sparkling Ice fizzy drinks

Hoping to fight off the fast food urges I get... My goal is to limit my visit there to once a week - and of course I'll be tossing any buns, or getting the grilled 'fried' chicken.

Here goes... 24 days of non-stop work!
