    Hey sounds like my schedule! =D I work from 8-5, and back to school in two weeks! Morning's I wake up at 6:30 a.m. I eat Special K cereal with strawberry's(1 cup) and (1/2 cup of Silk-Unsweetened almond milk), I bring special K bar's(90 calories) with me to work. I add that to my grocery list along with other healthy snacks from archer farms, or I stick to my special K bars cause their yummy and I have my Green Teas at work, yumm! for lunch I eat salads that I bring from home, or sometimes that I buy from Target....My grocery list consists of Fruit, salad bags, lunch meat, bread, lots of eggs, vetables like Asparagus, broccolli, corn, green beans, ummm lots of chicken...beans....water, milks and juices......If I bring sandwhiches to work, I don't eat mayo, I try to stay away from it! so I put other stuff like Mustard....This will be my first school semester while being on MFP, so we'll see how that goes, but I am going to continue to pack my lunches for school! I'm ready!

    I work 8-5 if I am not traveling for work, and I attend Pilates class 2x week after work making my days a bit longer. Feel free to look through my diary and see what I eat. It is all laid out there, for better or worse!

    I work 7-4 Monday thru Friday and I work out when I get off work for an hour or longer. I take fat free cottage cheese and Doles fruit cups in natural juices for breakfast. For lunch I eat lean cuisine and a string cheese. I just started the string cheese, I was eating a fruit cup with my lunch but I kept going over my sugars. :( Then for supper we usually have grilled chicken, grilled fish, salads, speghetti with whole wheat pasta and the 93/7 hamb meat (I try to eat red meat only every two weeks or so) veggies. You can also look at my diary its open. Hope it helps!

    Hi,

    I make out a healthy meal plan and purchase the items needed. I double the recipe and freeze the leftovers which makes lunch or dinner a no brainer. I also will prepare homemade soups and freeze individual serving sizes. I have found heathlful snack recipes and seal them in artight containers. If you take one week night or 1 day on the weekend to start preparing several meals in advance your "what can I grab on the go" will become easier. I have several quick and easy food ideas that I make and freeze.

    For breakfast, Monday thru Friday, I have homemade cereal. At some point thru the week I will prepare a whole pound of turkey bacon and eat off of that all week. I also will microwave egg whites or egg substitute, throw in serving size of turkey bacon and in minutes you have a nutritional breakfast quick and easy.

    Just a few ideas and I hope this helps you with your on the go lifestyle. Good luck... CCS
