Hi - I need some suggestions on lunch/ breakfast foods that I can carry to work with me with little or no protein but a decent amount of calories.
I am consitently below my calorie count for the day according to the log, but I am always over the protein count by 3-15 points.
Any advice/suggestions would be great...
TYIA:smile:

    you won't be very fulfilled or full if you eat a breakfast with no protein. I always go over protein, but stay within my calories and I still lose weight, I wouldn't worry so much about the protein if I were you.

    Don't worry about being over on protein...

    all fruits are a great choice....

    I wouldn't worry about the protein too much either. I go over most days and I'm losing weight too. Lean protein is good for you, especially when you're working out and building muscle.

    the right type of protien is good for u...and i think most people on MFP goes over the protien allotted a day....MFP has it kind of low....but a salad is a good lunch ....add like an ounce of cheese on top...or anytype of fruit is good....
