Ok so I work evenings so I cant really eat real food for dinner most nights. I really hate the thought of eating a protein bar every night and some are so bad for you. I prefer to eat whole foods. Is there any suggestions on a good meal replacement I can eat quick at work. I don't want to come home and eat at 11 at night either. sorry that is so randomly written.

Do you have a microwave at work? Some days I make a big healthy stirfry for dinner, and save the other half for lunch at work the next day. Stir fry microwaves great! I make mine with brown rice, veggies, pineapple, some sauce. I'm going to add tofu too but my local store doesn't carry it, so I'll need to pick some up elsewhere!

Why can't you eat "real food" at work? If you have to chew it anyway, does it matter if it's a sandwich or a pre-packaged bar?

I guess I'm confused about the question. Are you on your feet, unable to take a break, no cold storage/way to heat things? I don't mind the same thing over and over so I often go with lean turkey lunch meat on wheat bread and an apple. Quick, easy and on plan.

I agree with mortonpixie, a simple quick meal of a sensible sandwich and fruit makes a great choice. As for protein bars, I find that some Atkins bars are a good choice and I can get them in bulk at Sam's. If I am really pressed for time and am on the go, I sometimes eat a ready-to-drink shake (i.e. Muscle Milk Light) and an Atkins bar as my meal. Neither require refrigeration and both are fairly low on calories and meet my needs for low carbs / low sugar (as a diabetic). I hope you find a meal that fits into your work schedule.

Thanks for the suggestions. I work in a restaurant so I can't bring food with me we cant store outside food there. We don't have any health options. I don't have time to take a break,ever. I guess I will just have to go with the protein bar or eat really late and I don't want to.

Sorry I wasn't more clear in my original post.
