What brand of lunch meat do you use for your lunches?
Hi Amber, I personally do not eat a lot of lunchmeat. It just has never been my favorite. I am more of a salad or leftover girl. When I do, I like just Great Value Oven Roasted Chicken Breast. It is not the best clean Keto choice but OK for me as often as I eat it. For clean eating you want to find a natural version, one with no nitrates/nitrites added and no sugars/dextrose/molasses/honey (there are so many names for sugar!). The best thing is to read the labels and experiment to see which you like the best. Check carb counts too and get the fewest possible. I’m sorry that is not the simple answer you are probably hoping for but I hope it helps. 🙂
