Salads, soups, wraps and bowls for the middle of the day

Salads are keto lunch powerhouses: built on a bed of greens or vegetables like cabbage or zucchini, they travel well, and you can customize protein to your own tastes. After that come wraps on low-carb tortillas or lettuce, soups and chilis that reheat without splitting, tuna and chicken plates, or a quick bowl where cauliflower rice pulls it all together. A balance of fat and protein helps keep hunger at bay for the entire afternoon.

Bread is the usual problem at lunch when it comes to carbs. A wrap or a roll often costs more net carbs than everything inside, and a salad kit from the store hides sugar in the dressing. We pack the dressing separately, use greens sturdy enough to survive a few hours in a bag, and build every bowl on a protein so you aren't reaching for a snack an hour later. A lot of these can be made on Sunday and prepped for the week.
