Brown Bag'in It

K@t · February 18, 2008

Okay, so as a school teacher I have 24 min. to eat my lunch. Actually more like 15 min after I drop the kids off and go back to pick them up. I seem to always get stuck at lunch because I'm trying to scarff my food down and that just doesn't work with the band.:tt2: Any suggestions for an easier lunch that is healthy but that can be eatten quickly?:wub:

I found the same thing when I was out on teaching rounds this year - not qualified yet. But eating in the staff room in front of other people I dont know and being under pressure to eat fast and get out and do yard duty some days, eeek. I stuck with Soup or yogurt!

I didnt even attempt to eat what I would anywhere else. Also, I'd gone all morning without eating since Breakfast and for some unknown reason that makes me tighter. This year when I go out on rounds I will be sure to take a mid morning snack as well.

When I was a school counselor and on a short break, I opted for a Protein Shake. I actually put an Atkins shake in the freezer at morning recess and it was icy and delish when my lunch time came around. I made sure I also had a little something at morning recess and afternoon recess so I wasn't starving. That worked for me. It takes planning, but it got pretty easy!

Hey girl!

How ya been doing?! Is that you in the photo?! You look great!

I asked my doc on the phone when I made an appt. so she said to stick to Protein Meal Replacement bars or shakes. So I'm going to try that. I found these really nice cottage cheese and fruit combo thinggies in the yougert isle that I eat for a snack that give me some good Protein.< /p>
