[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP! You are me. Or we are very similar.

I have insulated lunchboxes and cold packs for at least two meals a day. I don't bring breakfast because, if I eat in the morning, I do so at home. I like oatmeal, hardboiled eggs, or a fruit smoothie with yogurt, protein powder and frozen fruit.

Lately, for the other meals, I've been cooking one major meal on sunday for lunches, and having singular cold items for the other days. I do go out once a week for dinner and also use those leftovers...but for simplicity sake, here is a typical week.

Sunday: make lentil soup in crock pot and tabbouleh salad (augmented by cannellinis or whatever other protein might work)

Monday: lentil soup. sliced tomato or cucumber. sliced cheese. ww tortilla or crackers. banana or other fruit.

Tuesday: hummus, crackers. fruit. carrots. tabbouleh.

Wednesday: end of lentil soup. side of basmati rice. fruit. maybe some hummos and crackers.

Thursday: leftovers (pasta, likely), fruit, and a chocolate bar because by now my sweet tooth is killing me.

I cook again on Thursday because I get home early. Usual choices are a quiche and a fruit muffin recipe with half the flour replaced by protein powder.

Friday: something leftover from Thursday. A muffin. More cucumbers. A martini after work.

Weekend is a sweep of leftovers and a new plan based on my washington green grocers delivery.

Hope this helps. [/quote]
