Easy yet healthy lunches

[Starfish]

I don't discriminate much between different types of food...I'll eat the same types of food for breakfast, lunch, dinner, whatever.

Right now, what seems to be working well for me is eating 5-6 times/day. I usually eat lunch and an afternoon meal, and sometimes the last meal, at work. Three things are key in keeping me on track for at work eating: portion control, ease, and easy calorie counting for my food log.

These days, it is a lot of:

Eating Right frozen meals (I keep several in the work freezer)
Packets of oatmeal with some slivered almonds tossed in
Lowfat yogurt with slivered almonds and fibre one cereal
Microwave-ready soups
Ready-to-eat, no-draining-needed tuna fish tubs (expensive, tho)

I wait and eat the stuff that takes more prep at home (vegetables and stuff)

Wow -- the timing of this thread is perfect. After 20 years, the kitchen at work is closing down tomorrow, the chef laid off, and no more breakfasts, lunches and salad bar. I'm gonna be brown-bagging it for the first time in my professional life. I've stocked up on the cups of microwavable soup, bags of salad, tuna-in-a-pouch, sprouted wheat bread, and apples. Oatmeal and soymilk/cereal for breakfast.

Whenever anyone left the company, they all instantly lose a good 10 pounds. Hopefully, I'll follow the same route.
