Emergency, left my food at home...help!

Vegeta

Like a tool I prepared my chicken breasts and vegtables last night. Brought them to the girlfriends house and left them in her fridge this morning.

I am badly stuck now as the food in work is very far from healthy or low carbs.

There are shops near by but I have no kitchen facilities to prepare anything. Any suggestions for low carb meals that are very easy to prepare??

does the shop sell ready made salads? Spar and Centra usually have these (although they're expensive) and buy tinned tuna/ spiced deli meat/ packet of cooked chicken to eat with it.

John west also do pre-packed "Tuna with..." that are fairly decent too.

In spar/centra, try and find a "flashed" pack. e.g. a pack of cooked chicken breast with the price printed on it. This way you are paying the same price as it would be in supermarkets.

Also in some spar/centras things can actually be cheaper than supermarkets. A centra near me has chicken fillet in the salad bar, standard €11 per kilo. I just cram millions in a dish, no salad.

Ok, it might not be the tastiest lunch but here are some tips

Tin of tuna with pull-top lid. Or else, those packets of pre-prepared John West (but check the nutritional content for sugar)

Packet of pre-cooked chicken breast + mini cheese (if in shop)

Visit the sandwich counter and ask if they will prepare a salad tub for you. (I love shops that do this, a lot of places won't. I'm a coeliac, so I can't eat bread. But try telling that to someone who won't prepare you a salad tub).

If you get really stuck, there's always tinned tuna or cottage cheese.
