What do you guys do for a HOT takeout meal in a hurry?

[wayless]

Since I started Atkins on Jan. 1, I have cooked every day. Tonight, I will have a late night, so I will be unable to cook. I need to grab something quick on the run, but I don't want anything cold. What do you guys suggest?

Well, there's always a burger and salad. Don't eat the bun, pickles or ketchup. And watch out for the process cheese.

Greek food is good. You can get a stick with some kinda meat on it and a greek salad.

Plain chicken wings and salad.

Rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is always good. Just take it home and eat it.

I think Ruby Tuesday's and TGI Friday's have good low carb menus, that are available take-out. You can call in advance.

At times when I've travelled and had to go on road trips, I've kept my own meals in a cooler and stopped at gas-stations and used their microwaves. They've never had a problem with it. I just tell them that I'm on a restricted diet and can't eat most foods that are available in the stores. I always buy a bottle of water so that I'm making a purchase.

I've also eaten at Ruby Tuesdays and Carl's Jr. with caution. When those places aren't available, I'll get some chicken and peel off the skin/breading. Its better than eating anything that is not on my WOE.

But, truthfully, most of the time I use what I have in my 'emergency kit' in the car. It is filled with string cheese, jerky, tuna, packets of mayo and stuff that isn't hot, but that gets me by until I get to my next meal.

Well, this won't work for me tonight, but this is a GREAT IDEA for road trips!!! Honestly, though, I cannot subsist on cold food and salads alone. That's why I decided to move on to OWL this week. I want some hot food and I don't want to have to prepare it after a long night out! LOL

I love chicken wings for takeout (our pizza place delievers hot wings), and when I'm in bars, restaurants etc.

My suggestion is probably not induction friendly, but here goes for anyone else who needs an idea!

Sometimes for a treat, I get some Mu Shu Chicken from the Chinese place across the street (without pancakes, of course). It's generally thin strips of stir-fried chicken and a variety of Chinese cabbage and other goodies mixed in. I can generally get that place to put the "brown" sauce on the side (I have a feeling there is cornstarch in it) and I can dribble it over the cut up veggies as I like.

You could order a pizza and eat the toppings. I susally go to In N Out burger and get their dbl cheese burger with tomato and pickle only wrapped in lettuce. Good! You can also order a quick to go from any restaurant you wish. Just ask for chicken or steak or whetever you're in the mood for and double helpings of their cooked veggie.

There are a lot of chinese dishes you can order that have acceptable ingredients if you leave off the sauce! of course no noodles or rice. But I have no trouble finding good combinations of veggies and chicken, meat or seafood that are basically just steamed when you leave off the sauces.

A local burritto joint has these *giant* burritos. I get one with no beans/sauce, and just eat the meat/lettuce/sour cream etc out of it with a fork. Kind of like a taco salad, but with more meat than lettuce. Easier if you have a bowl to spill the contents into and toss the carb-laden 15" tortilla.
