Hello, I had surgery on August 12th. I'm currently 50 lbs dwn but I need quick lunch ideas. I'm an engineer and my work schedule is crazy working in plants. I've started eating peanut butter and bananas but it's making my blood sugar rise. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

deli turkey roll ups! easy go to for me

I like having yogurt for work lunches/snacks. Since it is a slider food I can eat a cup of high protein greek yogurt in less than 10 minutes. If I tried that with lunch meat I could only get a bit in. I would also take a string cheese and could stick it in my pocket and take a few bites in a stairwell or elevator between breaks just to get more protein in. If I was desperate I would also have protein water or protein shakes so i could get a few sips here and there.

Great job!!! I catch these high protein tuna meals on sale and STACK UP!! 21& up grams of protein - YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT plus they are already per seasoned and ready to eat with a fork attached to lid!! Picture attached. BLESSINGS

I swear this is not a paid review, but I eat the Bariatric Pal Lite Entrees a few times a week that you can buy off the store on this site. Super quick.

Boiled eggs carrots cheese

Cucumbers hummus olives

Cuts of cheese & meats of your choice

Yogurt and fruit

Soup in a thermos

Cauliflower rice or mash and meatloaf

Meal prep will be key to a lot of these. Do you have Pinterest Instagram etc? There are TONS of people giving out great free advice and examples. Usually its under Keto meal preps

I eat a Healthy Choice Power Bowl (low carbs) most days because I'm lazy.

Yes I have Insta... I try and stay away from the keto pages. I tried that diet once and it made my cholesterol go way up.

Batch cooking has been my saviour for work lunches. Sunday is cooking day. I make savoury mince, meat balls, bolognese, marinated chicken strips, diced pork loin, chicken legs, sausages, etc. Once cooked I put single serves in zip lock bags or mini containers & freeze. Easy peasy to microwave at work. Add a small salad or some vegetables as you want and you’re set.
Cook a couple of dishes at a time & you have instant meals for a couple of weeks. Good for when you have those long work days too when the last thing you want to do when you get home is cook.
Plus because you’re cooking you’re controlling the ingredients, the fats/oils, salt, sugar, spices, etc. being added & portion sizes.
