Knife & Fork gluten-free Lunch

[GlutenGladi8or]

For those of you fitness fanatics on this site that are looking for high protein, low fat, lunch options... look no further than a package of all natural lunch meat (turkey, chicken or ham). Why?

1) They are already sealed and can easily be placed into your briefcase or back pack and then into the refrigerator at work. Without a worry about leaking!

2) Club stores (i.e. - Costco, Sam's, BJ's) usually have them in 3 packs for around $8.00. Retailers (Kroger, Safeway, etc.) typically sell them for about $3.00 per package.

3) Each individual package (14 ounces) have 10 grams of protein per 2 slices. If you're in work out mode, that's 70 grams of protein in the whole package if you don't eat it with bread! Or, just bring a loaf of your favorite gluten-free bread to work and make a sandwich as well.

4) It's 98% fat-free (with only 1 gram of fat per 2 slices)

Better yet, I just open the package and eat it like a steak with a knife and fork!

Don't get me wrong, I like my protein shakes and gluten-free sandwiches. But, there's something about eating something that tastes like a steak but only costs about $3 per serving.

I went to Costco yesterday and I have, yet, another.... "Knife and Fork Lunch" moment. AmyLu's Chicken burgers are the bomb! They are individually wrapped in 2 packs (2 patties per package) and sold in the deli section. Toss them into your briefcase or backpack without a leakage worry. And, they are all natural without preservatives or fillers.

If you have a microwave at work, you are only 2 minutes away from a High Protein, Low Fat lunch. Steak knife not required.... a butta' knife will be just fine.

Pack 2-4 slices of your favorite gluten-free bread if you want to make a quick sandwich.

Yet one more thumbs up for Amy Lu products. They have mini chicken meatballs in individually vacuum packed plastic. They are pre-cooked and only take 2 minutes to warm up on a plate in the microwave.

You can actually "ditch" the aforementioned knife and each these with a fork (they are small meatballs). Accompanied with a side salad and fresh veggies and you have a Hi Protein and gluten-free lunch at your desk.

They are low fat too.
