1. Chicken salad, tuna salad and turkey salad! Enjoy on a bed of lettuce with other fresh veggies or as a sandwich on low-carb bread.
2. Quesadillas! Fill low-carb tortillas with meats, vegetables and cheese. 3. Sandwiches! Stuff a low-carb tortilla or low-carb bread with avocado slices, chicken, sprouts and other veggies and protein.
4. Leftovers! Leftovers are great for both lunch and dinner. If you make a roast chicken the night before, you can use the meat as a base for either a salad or sandwich.
5. Ready-to-drink shakes or handy snack bars! Supplement these Atkins products with a piece of cheese or fresh vegetables. If you have moved beyond Induction, you can supplement with a some berries or a handful of nuts as well.

6. Caesar salad, Cobb salad, chef salad! Any salad that contains proteins (cheese or luncheon meat made without nitrates) and low-carb dressing is a healthy option.
7. Omelets! If you haven't had eggs for breakfast, an omelet loaded with meat and vegetables makes a good lunch.
8. Burger...no bun! You can make a quick run for your favorite fast food restaurant. Order a bun-less burger and a side salad.
9. Miso soup and sashimi! If you're going Japanese, fresh fish is an excellent selection. However, pass on the sushi rolls made with rice.
10. Steak, lobster...dinner for lunch! Treat yourself. A juicy steak or a chicken breast with a side of veggies is more than suitable and a great way to beat lunchtime boredom.
