Greetings from Winnipeg Canada…I’ve been a member for a few months but I admit I have not made a lot of progress so far. I’d like to lose about 20 lbs but I have a sedentary job (city bus driver) and I have to eat while I’m on the job. I usually bring a sandwich, a small bag of veggies and snacks like granola bars and Dad’s oatmeal/choc chip cookies and an apple. I drink water all day and maybe one cup of coffee. A lot of the suggestions for lunches seem to be something to cook or be served hot (soup?). Any suggestions on mobile foods I can take to work but are more nutritious? Also, I get home at approx 8:00 pm and have supper. It’s obviously too late to eat but I am hungry by then. Are there a better choices on what to eat at that hour? Thanks! Blueman.
Hi, Blueman. There are quite a few Clubemembers in your spot. The following is a list of some of the more popular portable ideas:
• Fresh and dried fruit
• Cut raw vegetables
• 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, quinoaThat’s awesome! I will give that a try. I noticed there’s no granola bars or cookies! Thanks! Blueman
