Hey guys,I need some healthy lunch ideas. I've come to realize that the days of eating a steak and cheese or gaggahs and coffee milk for lunch are pretty much over. It's not that i'm in poor health or anything,but I could stand to drop a couple pounds...I'm not in my 20's anymore and working in the field has comprised mostly of finish/trim work lately,so it's not been calorie burning enough...any suggestions,recipes,or ideas for a good lunch to pack? My go-to lunch menu is usually PB+J,captain's wafers,granola bars and some trail mix.I've tried salads,but they're pretty suspect by noon in the summertime...

I was gonna say I had a couple smokes, too, but I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing.:whistling

Eat breakfast and skip lunch. Take some granola bars and beef jerky for snacks. If you are needing to shed a couple pounds Energy drinks will curb hunger, I like NOS:thumbsup:
A little expensive but if your committed, the ORIGINAL South Beach diet is full proof to dropping 25-40lbs in a couple months.
no not those wings . Redbull that is :laughing:

Skipping any meal is plain stupid. You want your body to perform yet you starve it all day. If you don't eat for 4 hours the next thing you eat will go straight to fat. Every time. Might as well eat cheese burgers all day it amounts to the same thing.
We eat 4 to 6 smaller meals every 3 hours. It keeps your blood sugar even and your energy from peaking and diving.
I am not blowing smoke. Read a book called "Feed the Muscle Burn the Fat." by Tom Venuto
My wife lost over 70 pound follow that man's ideas on cutting fat. She has kept it off for 7 years. I followed loosely what she was doing and dropped 10 in a week. Pissed her right off. LOL
I need to get back on it and drop about 30 pounds. As soon as the weather breaks I am thinking that I will do just that.
Weight loss is something like a 60/40 split Might be 80/20 Not sure right now. My wife would know if she was awake. 60% diet 40% exercise.
Its not about weight loss its about clean eating. Its not about being on a diet its clean eating. Loss and Diet or negatives that indicate your depriving yourself of something. Your not. Your eating clean. Not healthy.
The way you look at it makes all the difference in the world on how successful you are.
These are all things in that book that we learned. Its a great system. Take the time to read it. You will be glad you did.

I'm sorry!
You came to the guys here @ CT for healthy eating ideas?
JK'ing, btw!
It's something I'm trying to work through too.
My eating lifestyle is catching up with me health-wise. I've got some tough issues I'm facing right now.
But it's hard to re-orient one's thinking after almost 5 decades of programming!
HUGE Struggle!

That's for sure. Once you start though its easier to keep with it. Positive out look on it is the most important. Its a life style change. Not a diet. Keep that in mind.

Beans, brown rice, and broccoli with a bottle of Deer Park with a few shots of lemon juice in it. Eat and drink as much as you like every 2 to 3 hours.
Or..
Avoid the 4 whites:
White Bread
White Sugar
White Flour
White Rice
Or..
Eliminate bread, sodas, dairy, sugary sweets, and fried foods.

Gaggahs (Gaggers) are small coney-island style hotdogs. The best way to order them is "all the way" meaning it's loaded with minced beef,sauce,minced onions,celery salt and mustard. They're good.Too good...and it's best to get them with coffee milk,which is almost like chocolate milk,but with coffee flavored syrup.It helps to keep back the heartburn. It's a R.I. thing,and they're addictive.
Thank You-great advice. So far I've been going with salads and have been eating baby carrots like a madman.My Girlfriend makes a wicked bean soup and bought a small thermos for that...I find packing the cooler up works best,keep the good food readily available,that way I have no excuse to hit up a lunch place. Diners and sub shops rarely have anything all that healthy on the menu.

Maybe Tylenol would have a lesser effect on your spelling.
This isn't real, is it? Can't be.Mavis Leonard said:
Turkey on whole wheat, apple or two bag of carrots, lots of water, green tea w/stevia. The sandwich usually varies but that's been a pretty consistent lunch for me.
Lucky for me it's neatly prepared and packed for me when I wake up.
Come on Fishhook! We all know true gaggahs have sweaty greek arm hairs in them as well! I love the coffee milk but 10 All the way and keep the microbrews flowing and I'm in heaven...or heartburn hell. Either way, good times!
My daily lunch:
wrap
banana
sugar-less apple sauce cup
granola bar
blue corn tortilla chips (with salsa or hummous for dipping)
and a big ol bottle of water.
I think that's pretty healthy. I've also started to drink coffee black. No milk/creme or sugar. I bring a thermos to work every day.
