A can of soda, two pieces of bread, a few slices of deli meat and cheese, a glob of mayo or mustard, and a more air-than-potato bag of chips...

Aah, lunch used to be such an easy meal to throw together, then throw down during that 30-minute break your boss calls a lunch hour.

Just because you've come to your senses and sought a healthier eating regimen doesn't mean you have to bag the brown-bag lunch. Gobble up our top 10 lunch suggestions -- all low carb -- and you'll be the most envied eater at the office or factory.

1. Chicken salad, tuna salad, turkey salad - Enjoy on a bed of lettuce with other fresh veggies or as a sandwich on low-carb bread.

2. Quesadillas - Fill low-carb tortillas with meats, vegetables and cheese.

3. Sandwiches - Stuff a low-carb tortilla or low-carb bread with avocado slices, chicken, sprouts and other veggies and protein.

4. Leftovers - Leftovers are great for both lunch and dinner. If you make a roast chicken the night before, you can use the meat as a base for either a salad or sandwich.

5. Ready-to-drink shakes or handy snack bars - Supplement these low carb bars with a piece of cheese or fresh vegetables. You can supplement with a some berries or a handful of nuts as well.

6. Caesar salad, Cobb salad, chef salad - Any salad that contains proteins (cheese, luncheon meat made without nitrates) and low-carb dressing is a healthy option.

7. Omelets - If you haven't had eggs for breakfast, an omelet loaded with meat and vegetables makes a good lunch.

8. Burger... no bun - You can make a quick run for your favorite fast food restaurant. Order a bunless burger and a side salad.

9. Miso soup and sashimi - If you're going Japanese, fresh fish is an excellent selection. However, pass on the sushi rolls made with rice.

10. Steak, lobster... dinner for lunch - Treat yourself. A juicy steak or a chicken breast with a side of veggies is more than suitable and a great way to beat lunchtime boredom.
