Hi Everyone,

Had two veggie burgers for lunch, and just had a serving of steamed veggies as my afternoon snack...guess it's just a veggie day for me. Two parties this weekend really put me over the top. Lots of good food and drink, and yes, I gave into the desserts. Guess it isn't the end of the world, but I will be working out a little harder to make up for those peanut butter cookies...yum.

I am really fortunate to have a kitchen where I work. (I am the parish secretary & book-keeper at a Catholic church). So I can take a sandwich, soup, salad, or a microwave plate with healthy leftovers. I usually take a fat-free yogurt for the protein & I have this as a snack or with my lunch. Dessert is always fruit--usually an apple. Sometimes I take a Fiber 1 bar. This satisfies my craving for a candy bar, but also has fiber which is good for when you are dieting.

Welcome!

I like the 'dinner' idea (where 'supper' is a lighter evening meal) in theory, but in practice I'm hungry at 5 pm and would likely overeat if I really did it. Some days I do eat my biggest meal at lunchtime and in those cases I make sure I eat lightly at dinnertime but I'm often hungry (and, yes, I eat breakfast).

Much of Europe and the middle East eat a big lunch, but that seems to be dying a slow death over there as those countries become more Americanized...which probably is the reason all those folks are getting larger, too.

Since I eat my lunch at my desk and then try and walk when I can I do take a lot of salads. I also make wraps, and make homemade soup and take that. Try looking up recipes on this site - they have some great ones. Welcome and good luck.

Thanks for the warm welcome all! Can't wait to dive in and get more yummy lunch ideas!

As I stated earlier, I like to eat my biggest meal at lunch (with breakfast coming in second). Its just easier for me! I workout right after work... around 5pm... and by the time I get home, I don't feel like preparing a meal! I normally have a home made smoothie for dinner! (I also eat 2 snacks a day... mid-morning and late afternoon!)

I love lunch! I especially love it when my coworkers admire my menu! :) Eating healthy can be fun... I like to view as an opportunity to be creative!

Thanks again for the welcome!

Cheers! mupp

Welcome Mupp~I love the idea of the biggest meal at lunchtime also. I usually eat lunch at my desk(bring from home) then go for a 2 mile walk. I guess eating heavy before that wouldn't work well, but maybe on the weekends I can incorporate it. I am not very imaginative at lunchtime. Someone recently suggested wraps as a change of pace and I'm thinking of trying that.

Have a great day all!

Hi, Your idea to have your largest meal at lunchtime makes sense to me. Since I am home all day, maybe that would be good for me too. Then eat lighter in the evening. It might even be good for better control of my overnight and morning blood sugar readings. Thanks for the idea.

Thrilled to have found this team! I'm always trying to think of new lunch ideas!

I've been a member of spark for almost 2 years now. I love it! I guess you can say that I lost a total of 84 pounds.. found almost 20 of them back and now kicked about 12 of those to the curb. I love the resources and tools on sparkpeople!

Can't wait to share lunch ideas! I love to have my biggest meal at lunch.... and LOVE the money I save packing my lunch instead of eating out! ;)

Regards! Mupp
