Our 10 year old is in love with pepperoni chips. We buy the huge bag at BJs. I nuke about 15 - 20 slices on paper towels for 130 seconds to make them into chips. Nice crunch and they aren't greasy (the towels sure are!). Also great for dipping, make your own or even a small amount of store bought onion dip is OK carb wise. Kids still want to eat like kids.

Lunch could include a clemintine (12 carbs after fiber, 6 for a half) which should be fine if the rest of the food is LC (turkey or RB rollups with swiss, olives, some green peppers, cherry tomatoes.) A piece of SF candy is a great idea. Kids don't want their lunch to be too different.

A half sandwich (6 carbs with the Arnolds bread) may be a good option for your daughter. Sandwich with some soup is nice this time of year. There are some lower carb ones. I sure do hate cleaning the thermos though.

Someone mentioned SF jello packs once. Never looked for them but if they exist, they might give you something else to pack once in a while.

Lots of good ideas in this thread. I'm going to use some for my own lunch!
