From: AmyW on 26 Mar 2006 12:07 I would love any input on brown bagging it.I'm in a car all day, so I don't have access to a microwave. I have been averaging eating in a restaurant for lunch at least 3 times a week. I KNOW there are hidden calories that keeps packing the weight on.

I know this sounds silly, but you *can* warm a sandwich (not cook it!) on your dash with the defroster on. Yogurt, fruits, veggies, wraps, 100- calorie servings of this and that (prepackaged or packaged by you), tomato juice, etc. etc. etc. -- ~Donna~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is never too late to be what you might have been. - George Eliot Hold on tight to your dream. - ELO http://www.zensewing.com

I KNOW there are hidden calories that keeps packing the > weight on. I make a three point sandwich, two slices of bread that are 1 pt and two ounces of protein varying turkey, chicken, ham. I use spinach leaves on the sandwich and a very low cal spread such as mustard, a bit of hummus or a Greek dip. Take a sugar free jello or a fat free sugar free pudding, fresh fruit, veggies such as carrots or celery, a 2 point bag of cookies or chips or a 2 point bar. I think those insulated square lunch bags are marvelous because you can pack a lot of stuff in them. The important thing is to have variety so you are not bored. You can also do great lettuce wraps or wraps in a high fiber low pt. tortilla. Freeze grapes or cherries and let them defrost a bit during the day. They will be cold and yummy. Frozen berries or cherries work well too. Audrey

Yikes - rather you than me. Sounds like a recipe for all sorts of bacterial problems. A piping hot flask of soup might be a solution, but I don't think I'd like to eat cheese sandwages that have been cooling down slowly for 5 hours. Ray

I am trying to think of a suggestion for you... I know I would drink water... and maybe order a salad with the dressing on the side so I could dip my fork in it before stabbing the salad. If they had a grilled chicken on the menu I would order it without the bun and maybe some honey mustard on the side. The brown bag idea.... I would try one of those cooler bags so I could take some typically cool food. like maybe chicken salad mixed with my ingredients like lite mayo and maybe honey mustard (i love that stuff) veggies in it like celery and maybe then lettuce and tomato slice and one a 7 grain bread... or without bread is good. I would definately take lots of water bottles or at least know where to go to find some... I drink water all day long. Pieces of fruit is also good to take. Anyway good luck finding what works for you and let us know what you come up with maybe we will need a suggestion for a lunch too! |
