So, whats for lunch?

[KB3LAZ]

So what are you having for lunch? I made two dishes.

A fresh chicken salad:
Grilled chicken breast
Fresh mixed greens
Homemade creamy honey mustard dressing (Dijon mustard, honey, and mayo.)
Raisins
Cherry tomatoes
Croutons
Sunflower seeds
balsamic vinegar

Fresh shrimp cocktail
Fresh caught shrimp (Bought at the street market)
Cocktail sauce

Sooo, what did you have or are you having?

I get the SAME EXACT THING for Lunch every day. Week after week, month after month, year in and year out.

My wife cooks once a week. (Don't ALL wives only DREAM they only had to cook once a week!) So she cooks up a big pot of "Pasketti", Chinese style. Insteada long noodles, she uses macaroni shells and tubes. I did get her to cut up an Italian sausage for each one and throw it in. She uses plenty of ground beef in the Pasketti sauce and puts them all in 5 microwavable dishes which I take to work each day.

This is a change from the similar Chicken and Pasketti (using White sauce instead). Sorta Chciken Alfredo. She made that for me for maybe 6 months before I told her I was sick of it and we went back to the red Pasketti.

Meanwhile, the Cats get the same food every day too. So Dad and the cats eat alike.

It doesn't taste half bad! but then, try eating the SAME THING every day! Think I would be SICK of Prime Rib if I had to eat it every day of my life!

My wife only cooks about twice a month. I cook three times a day. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This is normally 5 days a week as we go out on the weekend.

Pat, mix it up a bit! Salads are cheap and easy to make. They are good for you and if made right, very tasty.

Lunch? 2 ham and cheese croisants with some fresh lettuce on the side ;)

I try to eat a relatively light lunch. If I'm not having leftovers, it's usually something like today... turkey sandwich on whole wheat, sugar-free jello, bag of chips or a low-sugar granola-type bar (Kashi has some great stuff), and either a Diet Dr. Pepper or a Coke Zero. Sometimes I'll throw in some hot-air unseasoned popped popcorn.

When we have fruit in the house, a nectarine or an apple may be in there as well.

If I go out, usually I get a Subway Cold-Cut (all turkey based meats) 6 inch on whole wheat, no cheese or toast, loaded with veggies (extra-heavy lettuce, onion, tomato, spinach, green pepper, bannana pepper, cucumbers, oil & light pepper but no salt).

Well, I have gotten used to the way things are done in Spain. Breakfast here is very small, lunch is like a US dinner, and dinner is like a US lunch.

Personally, I have had a light breakfast, small snack, heavy lunch, light snack, and then light dinner every night since getting here. It was pretty much the same in the US but lunch and dinner were reversed. Part of my diet over the last year and a half has been having 5 meals a day. All of them relatively small. When I say a heavy lunch I mean about half of what most people in the US have.

Changing my eating habits to 5 times a day was a big step over 1 time a day. That change alone has helped me lose more weight than I ever expected to. My metabolic rate is much higher, I digest better, etc.

Right now I am working on a Pasta salad for a family dinner tonight.
