Lunch Dilemma! Need help!

Gerkenstein

I was running late today so I quickly packed 2 pb & j sandwiches for lunch. Well the carbs, sodium, and cals are through the roof (cals=690, carbs=99, sodium=785)! The 3 crunchy taco fresco meal I get at Taco Bell is healthier than this (cals=450, carbs=13, sodium=495)! I haven't really budgeted to eat out today though. So, do I eat my sandwiches and take the health hit or do I pay $5 at Taco Bell and take a slight financial hit? Please help!

Can you just eat 1, or 1 and a half of the sandwiches?

how about a grocery store trip to get an apple and then only eat half of one sandwhich. Then you only spend a dollar or so and still eat healthy

I was going to say, grocery store too.. you could pick up a salad, soup, or sandwich.. grab an orange and an apple while you're there for snacks.. You $5 will go way farther too..

i like the idea of adding a piece of fruit too... even 7-11 sells bananas if that's more convenient

Great idea! I'll eat one sandwich and an apple or grapes or something. I work downtown and the closest grocery is about 4 blocks away so I'll get a little walk in too! Thanks everyone!
