10 Easy Low Carb Lunch Options
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
When it comes to a packed lunch, the lower the carb the better I feel. Don’t get me wrong I love a big bowl of comforting pasta or a thick sandwich, but if I have a lot to get done in the afternoon I need energy that doesn’t make me want to crawl under my desk for a little nap.
Here I have compiled 10 of my favorite low carb lunch options. Some are from my blogs and others are from blogs that I love to follow. Each recipe is easy to make and is healthy and filling.
My all time favorite low carb lunch option is the no bread turkey club so I listed that one first. Another favorite of mine is the egg roll in a bowl from Keto Connect. It is truly a perfect meal prep option.

No Bread Turkey Club
This no bread turkey club is my go to low carb lunch option. You can make this simple, healthy and delicious lunch with a few basic ingredients.
I like to make these wraps and enjoy them immediately, but you can also prepare them ahead of time and wrap them up for lunch on the go!

This meal deserves a low carb gold medal. I distinctly remember making egg roll in a bowl with my family and loving it.
Even better than that it was a simple and delicious dinner that the whole family enjoyed!

Shredded Buffalo Chicken
I LOVE buffalo anything, but I especially love buffalo chicken. I highly recommend making a big batch of this low carb shredded buffalo chicken at the start of the work week.
You can enjoy it all week long on salads, sandwiches and wraps.

2 tbsp avocado oil mayo
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried dill
1. Poach and shred chicken breast – bring chicken to a boil in a pot of water, cover and reduce to a simmer and continue to simmer for 10 minutes. Drain water, cool and shred with 2 forks.
2. Combine hot sauce, mayo, herbs and spices with a whisk in a medium bowl.
3. Add shredded chicken to the bowl and combine thoroughly with the sauce.
4. Serve with celery, chips, on a sandwich, wrap or salad.
