Tuesday GTKY

What do you eat for breakfast on weekdays?

What do you eat for lunch?

It’s been a while since we delved into this. Brought to you by “my green smoothie just abandoned me, leaving me starving at 10:45 in the morning.”

I always have cereal, but I vary the types. Typically with almond milk since I am slightly lactose intolerant. I can't drink an entire glass of milk anymore.

Lunch is a problem but it could be take out (Starbucks, Mexican, Deli etc) or frozen dinners. I also get the premade salads from our local grocery store (chopped, fruit/nuts/chicken, Greek) etc. I did not like the premade salads from Whole Foods because they went bad the first day. Not sure what was up with that.

I go through phases with breakfast. I'll have a couple weeks where I do really well and have veggies/scrambled eggs. And then I go through a couple weeks where I eat all the frozen waffles and Fruity Pebbles that we have laying around for the kids. Coffee is always on the menu though!

Lunch is usually leftovers. WFH makes that easy, but even before that, I'd usually just pack up whatever dinner leftovers we had to reheat at the office the next day. I rarely buy anything special just to make lunches.

As for being hungry by 10:45 - that's like second breakfast time for me! Usually fruit and/or granola bar tides me over to noon.

Breakfast and this is bad but I like my sweets in the morning. Piece of cake, pie, brownie, cookies, cinnamon roll. Yes I know horrible but if I don't have anything like that around I just don't eat breakfast. I'm totally golden eating b-day cake in the morning instead of at night before bed.
That said if I'm drinking coffee I need to eat something so this morning I had a container of yogurt. DD is the opposite and needs a good size breakfast probably since she eats dinner before practice and nothing after practice. I make ahead pancakes, waffles, muffins when she has school.

Lunch: during the week leftovers or soup or salad. I loved my protein shakes with a salad that I did during tax season and I should get back to eating that as it did keep me full all afternoon. I normally try and eat with DD so she doesn't eat by herself and then again with DH. So splitting my dinner into two portions.

Oh yeah, and I am always hungry at 10:30. It is a combination of a small breakfast and caffeine. I typically eat some kind of granola bar at that time.

Breakfast - I start with a skinny chai latte made at home with a mix at around 715-730. That usually keep me full until about 10. Then I have either baked oatmeal (I make 4 servings at a time and just heat them up) or a protein bar. Rarely an English Muffin with PBJ.

Lunch varies. Salad (greens with chicken or hummus; caprese); turkey wrap with lettuce, tomato, cheese; hummus wrap with greens and feta cheese; frozen meal. Whatever I eat at around 1, I always need something around 4

1. have an egg white omelet with cheese, turkey and spinach, a bagel thin with whatever topping I choose and then a serving of fruit. Coffee of course. This keeps me full until about 2 pm.


2. I will have a protein source, vegetable and a carb (bread chips etc); then a protein shake around 4 if I am still hungry.

For breakfast I alternate cereal and scrambled eggs with cheese every other day. I love cereal but know I shouldn't have the sugar which is why I don't have it every day.

For lunch I'm loving having prepared salads delivered from Thistle.

[mustardseed2007]

Right now I have stuff from daily harvest I'm eating. But I've found I need to add meat to it so it kind of defeats the purpose of an easy meal.

[supertrooper1]

Breakfast lately has been a lot of eggs. Either scrambled eggs with cheese and a piece of toast or a homemade egg McMuffin.

Lunch is usually leftovers or a turkey sandwich.

I'm usually hungry between breakfast and lunch and will have a snack. I try to eat breakfast as late as possible so I can skip the snack.

Coffee

Lunch - whatever I can scavenge from the kitchen. Salad, soup, sandwich, eggs, pizza, cereal, frozen lunches, corn dogs, other frozen food, leftovers and once every week or two we have chick fil a delivered.

Breakfast.. PBJ on Dave's killer bread. Daily for the last 3ish years. Second breakfast is usually dried fruit, nuts, and cheese, or chips.

Lunch.. I eat out lunch most days. Rotating variety.

I don’t eat breakfast normally. I love all breakfast foods but it is my way of reducing my calories. My first meal is around 11am.
