COUNTING CARBOHYDRATES – Carb Friendly tips

- Instead of gravy or heavy sauces, top beef with a combination of lightly sautéed peppers, mushrooms and onions

- Prepare some light chicken salad and keep it in the refrigerator. The salad is a smart option when you need a quick bite, particularly when rolled into a lettuce leaf.

- Want to indulge in a sandwich? Pile lean meats and non-starchy vegetables onto low-carb bread. Or try wrapping everything in a high-fiber tortilla.

- Consider making an appetizer for dinner. Items such as shrimp cocktail and antipasto salad do a good job of beating weeknight doldrums.

- Cut carbs from cakes, cookies and pie crusts by substituting some of the flour with ground almonds.
