ideas for lunch at work??

[mgballa4life]

well i work 6 days a week for atleast 8 hrs a day (mon-fri 12-8, sat 10-5) and i usually get something quick for lunch like chinese or subway but im sick of spending money on fast food that isnt doing much of anything for me.

do u guys have any ideas for what i can bring with me to work for lunch? the place i work at has a microwave, its not very strong but it gets the job done and theres no fridge to keep anything cold. any help whatsoever would be much appreciated.

hey man.. no fridge? well lets see here
when is your lunch break?

Make some chicken with brown rice with either ream of chicken or cream of mushroom. Its pretty good this way. As for the fridge i do this and so do some of the guys i used to work with. Do you have a little portable cooler. Not a hard plastic one but one thats fabric not sure which type it is. You can usually fit one or two tupperware containers and the cooling devices in them.

hypocrisy: if i bring lunch i can eat whenever i want as often as i want

kcharger: yea i got a bunch of those cooler both fabric and the hard plastic ones. the chicken and rice sounds good though

 

[Hypocrisy86]

hmm i would suggest the same as Kcharger
not much of a mess when you eat either..
especially if you have chicken wings/legs
munch em and throw the bones away. easy and quick
to eat. good for a quick lunch break or whenever
doesnt take long to microwave either.

what about boneless chicken? does it have the nutritional value as chicken with bone or is it a lil different?

well all i know about boneless
is there would be more meat which is a good thing
would say more protein, too which is a plus.

 

[mgballa4life]

boneless it is lol

ill go out tomorrow and get some microwaveable chicken breast for work.

any other food ideas? something i could possibly make before work and bring with me?

 

[Hypocrisy86]

hmm.. a sandwhich? possibly, shaved turkey, wheat bread, slice of cheese, and microwave it a bit, some reason it tastes good microwaved then pour some ketchup or mustard on
no mayo, since it has fats etc.

 

[mgballa4life]

im thinkin maybe a ham and turkey sandwich with a couple slices of melted cheese on whole wheat bread

 

[Hypocrisy86]

that sounds awesome, whole meat is good good carbs too

 

[mgballa4life]

whole meat?

 

[Hypocrisy86]

LOL i mean whole wheat
LOL Sorry

 

[mgballa4life]

i switched over to whole wheat a lil while ago. its better for u and more filling in my opinion

 

[Hypocrisy86]

yea it is im acting weird cus of that ephedra tea
think the buzz has calmed down
could try a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich too
reduced fat peanut butter instead of full.

 

[mgballa4life]

i think im gonna try this natural peanut butter my friend mark was telling me about. its got all natural peanut oil in it or something

get a can opener and just take some cans of tuna with you. You could eat those spread out and it would help you get in high amounts of protein.

 

[alex]

oats in water is what i eat at my work,great source of carbs that you need in the morning and its cheap to.tastes bad tho

tuna cans are a good choice for protein but lots canned food aren't healthy,it is a good choice for once in a while but not in a regular basis

 

[bambam55]

how can canned tuna be unhealthy???

 

[mgballa4life]

how can canned tuna be unhealthy???

maybe eating it too often? idk.

i have oats with water all the time. i usually add cinnamon or honey or something to add to the flavor though. maybe even some chopped bananas if im in the mood
