Low carb pasta/meal ideas

I don't eat this stuff too often just because I'm not a huge fan of the texture but once in a while I like to mix it up. It's very low in calories and carbs. I still love my brown pasta the best though.

I rinsed and then boiled the tofu spaghetti noodles. While those were boiling I shredded some cooked chicken breast and added 1/2 a jar of left over pasta sauce to a pan and heated those up. Make sure the pasta is dried off completely before adding it to the sauce mixture. Then I topped it with some feta cheese. Next time I'll make some garlic bread with it. This is half of the serving. The bag makes 2 servings.
This is a breakfast idea: 1 whole egg, 1/3 cup egg whites, spinach and chopped up cooked chicken sausage. I'll have a piece of fruit with it.

This morning I had 1 whole egg, 1/3 cups egg whites with spinach and a side of turkey bacon with a banana.
 To cut out carbs I like to take my lunch meat and put a wedge of laughing cow cheese in about six slices and roll them up and have a piece of fruit with it.
This is what my son had. His sandwich had laughing cow cheese, Swiss and Italian salami. Sometimes if I want a sandwich, I will use 1 slice Ezekiel. Basically I just try to get most of my carbs from fruits and vegetables. 1-2 meals a day I will add healthy whole grains. My favorite varieties are Ezekiel, brown rice pasta, quinoa, brown rice and red skin potatoes.
