Hmm. I know this is a place to post our lunches, but I changed my eating schedule around and am finding myself without my usual smoothie for lunch today. I need some ideas of something yummy and wholesome to get at the grocery store during my break.

Not a huge fan of those frozen meals because they usually leave me feeling hungry still.

Salad bar? Salad in a bag?

A steam-able frozen veggie and pouch or canned tuna/salmon/chicken?

Microwave brown rice pack and protein above? I used to buy the premade goya sauced beans in the can back about 10 years - that would be perfect with the rice.

Great ideas munchy. I'll have to save them for next time. I left work early today and took sick time since I've been very lightheaded and weak since monday. So I summoned up enough energy to make a nice hearty lunch and I am going to chill out the rest of the day. Hopefully I start feeling better soon!

Sauteed a half breast of chicken and 4 shrimp with zucchini, onion, tomato, and spinach. Tossed it with a small amount of soba noodles and feta cheese.

Mom surprised me by taking me out for lunch. I got gluten free vegan pizza with tons of veggies and ate it all I didn't really have breakfast though and have a small dinner planned so I should still end within my calorie range

It's rainy today - I'm having white chicken chili made with a lot of heat.

I think I need to plan my meals in advance a bit better.

For the seocnd day all of my meals looks pretty the same( chicken breasts with salad for the lunch and strawberries))

[Dottington]

Huge salad thingy.
2 c green lettuce
2 trader joes veggie baked tofu steaks pan seared
1/2 avocado
1/4 c homemade thousand island style dressing(with vegenaise)

It was GIGANTIC.

Also had a cup of soy milk with 2 tblsp of soy protein isolate mixed in.

It was a big lunch, but I only had a 1/4 c of nuts for breakfast before my hike so I really tried to make it big

Pattience, that sounds AWESOME! I love the mix of cheeses you chose

Today I pulled out turkey picadillo.

Peach, berry and spinach smoothie

Pattience, your veggie lasagna sounds mouth watering!

I really like the hunger/satiety idea pattience! Also really like the snack thread you started I'm going to start rating hunger/satiety levels and adding to that thread tomorrow.

Lunch today was a veggie gf pizza all to myself

Yesterday I had a salad with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, a sprinkle of feta cheese and balsamic dressing. Also had two buffalo flavored chicken fingers from the grocery store.

Had a weird mix since it was my students' recital and everyone brings dishes to eat after

Was feeling a 1 before and a 2 after.

1 gluten free donut
1 gluten free chocolate meringue cookie
1/2 c fruit salad
1 tbslp hummus
1/2 servings of veggie chips

I had a smoothie. My mom suggested trying pear in my smoothies because she said it makes it really creamy, but I don't think I'm a big fan or it just wasn't fully ripe...not the best tasting, but I am STUFFED!

I had pear, blueberries, banana, spinach, carrot and greek yogurt. I had to add some honey because it wasn't sweet at all.

Strawberries should be ripe locally at the end of the month. Mmm I can't wait to use them in my smoothies! Though I'd probably prefer to eat them raw
