I'm prepping to get underway with a cutting phase and I'm planning on hacking my carbs more than usual (under 100g as opposed to 150g) to see how it works for me. I need advice on some good low carb lunches that I can prepare at home and take to work (or even find at restaurants) other than the usual chicken breast or can of tuna. Any suggestions or recipes would be greatly appreciated, particularly stuff that won't get ruined in the microwave. I'm sick of the Subway double meat roast chicken salads!

mackfactor, try doing a search on here for low carb meals and see what you come up with. I am sure there are many, also, i myself get a lot of great low carb meals on www.24hourfitness.com. I get recipes emailed to me daily and some of them are exceptional.
good luck and let us know what happens with your phase.

Hmmm . . . I tried the search and it returned me no results. Oh, well. I'll check out that website, though - thanks for the tip, ravenbeauty.
