I Will Be On A Soft Diet When I Return To Work And Was Wondering How You Guys Set Up You Meals At Work

TXEG · June 11, 2008

I have the same question. I'll be going back to work next Tuesday and planning to keep a stash of low carb slim fast, Water, yogart, pudding, cottage cheese & fruit at work. My office mate has a small fridge so that helps alot. I also want to buy a small portable blender or mini food processor to have on hand. Found some good ideas on this link:

I Will Be On A Soft Diet When I Return To Work And Was Wondering How You Guys Set Up You Meals At Work

We've got a break room with a refrigerator, so I just bought little individual sized containers of cottage cheese to keep in there. It was easy to just grab one of those. When I first came back to work, I was eating at my desk while reading Lapbandtalk.

We've also got a blender in the break room that the body builder guys in the office use to mix their Protein drinks. I used it to mix my drinks also, telling them I was just trying to increase my Protein consumption. If I hadn't had a blender at work, I would have bought a stick blender and used it for the drinks. I love the stick blender I have at home, and use it way more than the regular blender.

I always prepared my foods at home and put them in the fridge at work. For Breakfast, I usually have grits or oatmeal and a yogurt. I made a yumy chicken salad (recipe on here from Georgia Girl) that I'd blend up so it mushy. I also kept Jello on hand. If I didn't bring anything I'd go to Wendy's and get a potato - that was good for a change. I made and still make sure that I don't have Water in front of me while I eat. If it is in front of me it is hard not to take a drink. I am much more of a "planner" than I was before. I used to just wing it.

Good luck to you!
