Simple low carb lunches

We’re taking the fuss out of lunchtime by showing you how you can mix and match ingredients to construct your own low-carb meal.
A fabulous guide to building any low-carb meal is to select a base of vegetables, alongside a portion of good quality protein, topped with some heart-healthy fats. Then, if it fits within your carb-budget, feel free to add a cupped hand-sized amount of starchier foods such as wholegrain pasta, brown pitta or potatoes.
