I just signed up and went through the menu planner, which all seemed great if I was staying at home, My concern is how can I do this when I work a full time job. I get up at 530am and get my kids off to school, so the breakfast part id be ok with, I leave my house at 7 and start work around 8, I work sometimes six hours before I can go to lunch, and lucky if I get a break in between, and don’t get off work to after six.. which puts me home at 7 or 8 at night.. so I do not get a chance to eat properly by any means, and I work in a pharmacy and not allowed food, so when I do get lunch its 30mins so I grab something fast and easy.. any suggestions would be appreciated, I am currently 236lbs and have heart issues that will require a pacemaker, but before I can have procedure I have to get in a healthier state.
Hi, amarthur15, and welcome 🙂 The best option for you would probably be to use the personal version of the Menu Planner application (the right-most option at http://www.trimdownclub.com/menu-planner) so that you can select the foods that best fit your lifestyle.
In addition, the following are ideas that may suit your needs, so that you don’t need to rely on restaurant dining:
•Fresh and dried fruit
•Cut raw vegetables (free: Arugula, Broccoli, Broccoli rabe/raab, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumber, Radishes, Spinach, Sprouts, Watercress, Zucchini
•Oven-baked vegetable chips
•Nuts and seeds
•Trail mix combinations of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit
•Sandwiches – good breads with nut butters, hummus and similar spreads, tahini, canned or smoked fish, cheese, homemade “cold cuts” from fresh meats, egg salad, etc.
•Whole grain or Paleo crackers plus any of the above
•Hard-boiled eggs
•Sliced or string cheese
•Cottage cheese
•Yogurt
•Milk (dairy or vegetal), plain or flavored with cocoa powder and a recommended sweetener
•Hearty soup in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. meat or legume, vegetable, whole grain)
•Hearty smoothie/shake in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. fruit/vegetable, dairy/vegan, seeds)
•Edamame or other legume/pulse snacks
•Whole grain or Paleo cereal or granola (cold in small sealable bag, cooked in thermos)
•Canned beans
•Prepared healthy foods in containers – from leftovers or prepared the night or weekend before.
•Homemade whole-food muffins or bars
•Popped grains, i.e. organic popcorn, sorghum, quinoa
