(Non-)Fast Food

You food-savers are lucky! The hubby won't eat leftovers, so I don't freeze much.

I tend to do the Trader Joe's non-processed food divided out over 5 days for eating while I'm at work. It has to be fast (assembled in 1 min or less) because I'm working nonstop and long hours these days. I do end up eating the same thing every day for a week (except for dinners) but I don't mind because I don't have time to really think about food right now, alas!

9:30 AM arrival - one nonfat TJ's Greek Honey yogurt, a handful of berries

12:00 PM 5 min break or mid-meeting - TJ's lo-carb tortilla with free-range turkey or chicken, alfalfa sprouts, cherry tomatoes, a laughing cow wedge. With 1/5 of a bag of crunchy veggies and 1 tb of either hummus or fat free tzatziki.

3:00 PM 5 min break or mid-meeting - 1/5 of whatever veggie salad I've made this week (I can't eat greens because of my blood thinner, so it's sometimes a cucumber-based salad with a little couscous, or corn and bean cilantro salad, or roasted beet salad, or fennel salad, or purple cabbage and carrot slaw.) Plus 1 serving of fruit.

6:30 PM - to fight the munchies before I can get home to dinner. 12 almonds, 4 dried berries or cherries, 1 square of dark chocolate.

I'm a veggie monster these days!
