ODieselGuestI like the idea of making a cheese and meat sandwich….with no bread. But, doesn't most lunch meat have carbs? I guess it's only like 1g per serving. yeah my coconut oil, fiber and almond milk concoction does pretty well to keep me full until lunch.

dgibsonMemberYeah, you've got to watch the carbs in sandwich meat for sure – check what you buy. The buffalo chicken breast I'm using now has 1g of carbs per 2 slices and the munster cheese I'm currently using is <1g per slice, so I'm probably getting 2-3g of carbs with that snack, which isn't too bad. Wrapping it all in lettuce is nice for a different texture. I get sick of the cheese and meat texture after a while.

RudeeGuestMy go-to snack between meals when I need one is a tablespoon of natural peanut butter on celery. Works every time for getting rid of between meal hunger pangs if they arise.

But peanut butter has carbs in it. A good deal if I remember correctly. I have another question. Most of you are saying I need fat with a meal. I'm seriously already burned out on ground beef for lunch. I was thinking of just bringing chicken breasts to change it up for a bit. I would need to add fat to that meat correct? Any suggestions on what I could take for quick fat to go with chicken breast?

Brandon D ChristParticipantPeanut butter doesn't have that many carbs (remember fiber doesn't count). Just make sure you are buying a good brand that doesn't add sugar. Eat some nuts with the chicken breast.

You could just fry the chicken in butter or coconut oil. I sometimes have turkey breast while ULC and it tastes amazing when fried in butter.

That won't add enough fat.

I use a lot of butter. 20-30g to fry in and then I toss my veggies in the pan to soak up the excess butter leftover from frying.

A tablespoon of natural peanut butter has 3 grams of carbs, with a single gram of sugar. 1 gram of fiber and 3 grams of protein. Like I said, it's my go-to between meal snacks. Consuming peanut butter and celery a few times a week certainly didn't stall my fat loss one iota. I would even say consuming it sped things up for me.

storm47MemberBig Tex recommended that I drink more water to help with hunger pains. It helped reduce some of my hunger. Thanks again Big Tex!

ODieselGuestI can't find any of the peanut butter you're talking about. Every peanut butter I see at the store (and i'm looking at the natural ones) are 6g of carbs with only 2g of fiber. What brand are you buying?

What's the problem? That's 4 g of net carbs per tablespoon. How much do you plan on eating?

Well more than a tablespoon. Probably ike 3? I eat a lot. That's what I've tried to get across. A tiny amount of food does nothing to satiate me. One tablespoon of peanut butter spread across some celery would leave me starving in an hour. One of my problems is that I just need to learn to cook. I don't know how to really make anything without cooking it on my George Foreman grill or baking it. And then the only way I know how to flavor it is by putting cheese on it or slathering it in BBQ sauce. BBQ is obviously out, so I have no clue how to not make bland chicken, beef or pork.

A serving of peanut butter is actually two tablespoons. So 3 tablespoons of that PB would be 6 carbs.Here is how you cook any piece of meet. Toss some butter or oil in a pan on a stove top burner, heat the oil on low medium heat for 5 min, toss a piece of meat on in the pan. Cook it for about 15 min or 7 min each side. You can check if it's done by cutting into it.You can put cheese on it if you want, you can get sugar free BBQ sauce, but the best way to flavor meat on a low carb diet is salt, pepper, garlic, you know spices and herbs. Go to the store and get some rubs that don't have a lot of sugar.Cooking isn't hard, it's just trial and error.
