    Well I am not sure on a whole lunch but how about a boiled egg to add in. It would help keep you satisfied. Fruit and vegies are good also. But I think since your job is probably pretty physical a sandwich made of a whole grain bread would be good.

    Do you have any thing available to you to warm foods up?

    That sounds great! When I'm actually awake I'll have to reread your suggestions and perhaps make myself some quiches. Thanks!

    I work early and drive a long commute, so I'll drink a slimfast shake omw. Eggs are great too bcuz not only are they quick to cook, but the high levels of protein make you feel satified long enough to wait for lunch.

    A favorite of mine is: 1/4 cup of lite vanilla yogurt, strawberries and bananas, a couple cubes of ice a few ounces of your favorite juice (pineapple, OJ, etc) and blend it into a smoothie. Quick and Easy, and quite satisfying. :happy:

    Muesli and yoghurt for me, it takes me 1 minute to put into seperate containers, and then 20 seconds to smush it all up at work (I eat at my desk).

    1 cup frozen strawberries
    1 cup light yogurt (vanilla or strawberry)
    1 cup sugar free lemonade

    Combine all to make a smoothie. I have a "magic bullet" type of blender. DELICIOUS! (Only 150 cal). Great for an afternoon "treat," too. I feel so indulged when I make this.........:wink:
