I always eat something different.

I often tend to do that but I've been warned that it's bad for my diabetes ("the worst thing that you can do", according to the nurse) and I guess may have played its part in its onset. I'm terribly disorganised, though, so it's a difficult habit to get out of.

Take sweets with you on your journeys, my sister has it and she always has a bottle of lucazade incase she take a "hypo" fit or if her blood count is simply too low. I'd hate to diabetes.

I had a phase where I would have a footlong meatball marinara on herbs and cheese bread & toasted with cheese from Subway, every day for lunch. After about 2 months I had put on about 14 pounds. WAS WORTH IT.

Nowadays I have bacon just about every day, it's a nice pick-me-up at lunch. I don't know why, eating bacon just makes me enjoy the day a lot more. So that's always good.
I got a George Foreman grill lately, so I predict I will end up grilling stuff all day, every day. My poor heart.

You and me both. Unforturnately, there's no real bacon-frying oppurtunity at my office.

We have a big box of things to put on rye bread, though... lunch usually consists of four slices, four different toppings, and some snack cheese.

I never used to eat lunch really, but it's turned into kind of a social thing, and eventually my stomach started demanding lunch of its own accord.

What's with you Americanos and your rye bread? I always though it looked and tasted a bit like dried cat poo.

Not that I know what that tastes like. :whistling:

'Big Breakfast' - Sausage, bacon and egg.

I'm type 2, so fortunately I don't get the hypo crises; I just get the long-term problems with my arteries getting rather buggered if I don't look after them, which can have inconvenient effects as I found out the hard way.

I am usually a clean eater so if it isn't too messy, it is good...

With the exception of ribs :drool:

Ribs are too much effort! They taste good, but they're so sticky and messy, for little reward.

Chef Boyardee Ravioli and that Beefaroni stuff which is tube noodles + tomato meat sauce. That stuff is the absolute shiz nit, but sadly I had to give it up. I don't eat red meat and want to keep my cholesterol + LDLs down due to family history.

Thankfully I can fall back on my Cambell's chunky clam chowder. Really svcks that being in FL it's hard to find good clam chowder near me at restaurants. There's only one place near me that sells decent stuff and thankfully it's not some super huge mega chain like Red Lobster.

What part of FL, if you don't mind me asking?

I used to eat the [censored] out of those. Italian herbs and cheese ftw.

Rye is the most repulsive substance known to man. I don't know how anyone could possibly enjoy it, not even the Hebrews, being a Jewish bread. People's tastes are sometimes just beyond any reason.

Lard.

I recently read a few articles indicating lard got a bad and undeserved rap.

I am rather fond of salads for lunch. Green salads, greek salads, tuna salad, chicken salad.

The http://christinehedley.com/images/bits/lardadvisory.jpg agrees with you! :laugh:

Seriously, though, stuff like lard, goose fat and so on are much better than the "healthier" alternatives, especially when it comes to high-temperature roasting e.g. for spuds and stuff like that. And they taste better.

Except that is is now proven that the so called "healthier" alternatives are not as healthy as lard.

All those years of removing lard from my diet only to find out they were wrong about it.

Ha, exactly!

Plus, refried beans made without lard? No point.

It's tricky nowadays. I remember seeing a newscast (or internet article, I believe) that mentioned studies claim Kashi brands (Organic) and "100 calorie packs" are just a marketing gimmick, as well as not being as healthy.

When I was in track, our coach's would tell us to play it safe and any "healthy" stuff we see, cut the nutritional info in half. (Even if it is a salad or something.)

100 calorie packs... higher price for less food on purpose.

» Sun May 13, 2012 9:06 am

Sandwiches

my absolutely favorite lunch

Sour-Dough bread
Turkey
Ham
Provalone
lettuce
tomatoes
onions
cucumbers
mayonaise
oil and vinegar

plus:
salt and Vinegar Kettle cooked chips
Juice squeeze, water or Sierra Mist

that's really weird, it censored solutely

Fruit
raw veggies
sandwich of toasted pita with cheese and veggies

occasionally sardines (King Oscar brisling in olive oil) or cod. Usually eaten with thinly sliced red potatoes cooked with olive oil and rosemary.

Kashi was bought out and it's products are derived from gmo's.

I see them for a buck, but the boxes I have seen for around $5.

Is there anyone here, like me, that vastly prefers Canadian bacon to the crispy variety?

» Sun May 13, 2012 1:21 pm

Thick sliced apple wood peppered bacon :thumbsup:
