What's for Lunch Today? Ham Sandwich!

I get tired of cooking and baking all the time, and it's been so long since I had a simple sandwich.

So today I decided to have a ham and cheese sandwich!

First I made a Flaxseed Lunch Bun - takes 2 minutes in the microwave. (5 g carbs/14 g fat)

After letting it cool enough to handle, I buttered (0 g carbs/11 g fat) the English Muffin, added a slice of Havarti cheese (0 g carbs/7 g fat), a slice of deli ham (0 g carbs/1 g fat) and torn up lettuce (0/0).

Wished I had some mayonnaise to add, but it had expired. However that would have added 3 g carbs. So maybe it was just as well.

Add in a slice of pickle and three sour onions for 1 more carb total.

So my ham and cheese sandwich came in at a total of 6 grams of Net carbs and 33 grams of fat. Well under my 10 carbs per meal limit! Oh, and my sandwich was delicious!

TOTAL NET CARBS: 6 grams
TOTAL FAT: 33 grams
