Here’s something you can buy the ingredients for ahead of time that you can whip up in no time when you’re somewhere that they’re serving high-carb foods. Carry the ingredients with you in a bag or purse just in case. I ate this for dinner last night.
Canned Cactus Salad
1 small jar or can of Sliced Nopalitos (that’s pickled canned cactus, should have a net carb of -1 per serving; mine does)
a 5.5 oz can of sardines with tomatoes and chili, or just tomatoes, or plain sardines or whatever you wish to substitute that has 0 grams net carbs
Open the cactus jar. Spoon contents onto a plate (you may rinse it first if you wish, but you can eat this as is). My can of sardines came with a pull-top, so I just threw the sardines over the cactus, Break up the sardines with a fork, stir briefly, and enjoy.
Total carbs: 4 grams Net carbs: -1 (thanks to the cactus having more fiber than total carbs according to the label).
