Food Courts....what do you eat there?

Twig · Dec 27th 2009, 4:54pm

I just had a huge day shopping and needed to feed kids, so we went to the food court. I looked around looking for something I could eat on BT diet, and found a Zucchini & Bacon Slice at Muffin Break. I tucked into it, and realised 3/4 the way through that it contained a small amount of rice. I was so upset as I have been so good.

Does anyone have any tips of what I could have eaten in a food court? Its so carb laden everywhere! I guess I need to be more organised and bring lunch with me....

kebab/yiros on a plate, hamburger without the bun, grilled fish and salad etc

The breadless kebabs are yum and you get heaps. Maybe look at some of the chinese dishes (meat and veg) don't have the rice. Cup of pork crackle perhaps or just roast chicken.:D

I always go for Kebab on a plate (no flatbread), KFC classic salad with cayan chicken or Maccas salad with seared chicken. Depending on the shopping centre you can get Sumo Salad, or a salad from Aporto etc. Just make sure the chicken is of the grilled type with no crumbs and no croutons etc.
If there is no salad get a burger but leave the bread roll. I always take an Atkins bar with me now, just in case I get stuck and need something.

All of these are good ideas. I reguarly do the Sumo Salad. I like the idea of kebab on a plate too. If you like sashimi that's also a good idea.

Oh some good ideas there.
Never had a protein bar....where do you get them from....and what are they called?

I buy Atkins protein bars, they can be bought in any supermarket usually in the health food section.

Hi there,

My first post here!

I fully support the Yiros/Kebab on a plate. Last two days, this has been the best meal of my day for me.

Regards,

G

here here to the gyros on a plate - such a welcome meal when u are starving and out of house...also thai is good - just get stirfry meat/fish/prawn with vegies...and a light sauce like lemongrass, garlic, chilli etc...YUM! It is actuall quite easy to eat out once u get the hang of it...although I really hate how much food gets wasted sometimes when you have to order standard meals and eat around all the carbs like chips, potaots pumpkin etc..LOL! I just imagine the carb foods like little devils with horns ...only kidding....

Nandos is also a good option if you haven't had corn for the week. I order a kids chicken tenders meal and you get 3 small ones and corn as the side.

Mcdonalds:

Seared Chicken Ceasar Salad with no croutons and ranch dressing.
or
Double cheeseburger without the bun and no ketchup
or
Angas burger without the bun

Subway:
Double serve turkey salad with lettuce, a small handful of olives, capsicum, cucumber, grated cheese and ranch dressing (Beetroot is quite carby).

and I agree, Nandos is great for a low carb meal. So is a red rooster skinless chicken salad.

Oporto is good, I love their salad
