Need some advice on what to eat

[StLouisGal 1]

Keepinfaith,

I eat a lot of egg beaters. They are much lower in fat than eggs so I think they are a better alternative. I sautee a little green onion (or regular chopped onion, a little finely chopped ham and 1/2 cup of southwestern egg beaters. Top it off with a little low fat cheese and it makes a nice meal. You can also put a little salsa on top for a little extra kick. It has about 28 grams of Protein with 2 ounce of ham and one ounce of 2% milk cheese. It's a lot of food but I usually don't have a problem getting it all in if I eat slow and chew well. The whole thing has about 216 calories and depending on the ham you use about 8 grams of fat. Besides it is quick and easy to make.

TriAgain,

If you eat dairy products try cheese sticks or string cheese, boiled eggs, etc. individual servings of fruit, like applesauce, peaches, or pudding are also easy to tote in a purse. Try to find a small insulated bag to put them in and slip it in your purse. Protein Bars are good but it is hard to find one that has no sugar alcohol (something I try to avoid) Individual servings of Peanut Butter are also good to carry for hunger emergencies.

I try to always have something with me in case I get delayed. I don't want to go to a place that sells food when I am extremely hungry.

Good luck to both of you!
