Before starting IP, I was a lacto-ovo vegetarian. I have started to eat some meat (mostly chicken, ground beef, pork tenderloin) with IP but it is not my favourite thing and I would prefer not to eat another chicken breast (or whatever) at lunch.
I am thinking things like hardboiled eggs, tofu and tuna will be good but would love to hear what other people have been doing for P2 lunches. You are all such a creative group of people, your ideas always amaze!
The tofu, tuna and HB eggs are all great for variety...I try to have a smaller portion of main dinner protein from the previous day a few times a week and plan for a 1/2 serving leftover for my lunch. When all else fails.....4-6 large frozen shrimp (costco fully cooked) It is a really easy go to...and not that expensive. These are all high quality protein sources....and your new body is so worth it!!! My 2 cents is to avoid cured meat products like sausage patties, bacon, ham and lunch meats...the quality is not the same oz per oz...and the salt and fat is a factor. Not to mention the curing process itself...the preservatives are known to be carcinogenic.
