Check out these 10 low carb lunch ideas that you can take with you to work, whilst remaining healthy.
If you work a normal day job and often find yourself in a situation where you just eat unhealthy takeout food for lunch, then you need to change things up and start prepping a few healthy work lunches every week.
I remember when I used to work a corporate job.
It was just too easy to never take my own lunch with me, and rather head to the local deli and buy myself some “healthy” pastries or pizza looking foods.
The problem is, you always end up overeating and not sticking to real healthy foods.
So with that being a problem amongst so many of you working men, I thought it’s a good idea to put together 10 really simple and healthy low carb lunch ideas that you can take to work!
