Need advice for bringing food to work

[wpolo05]

Howdy,

I've been in a jam lately since I started work for the summer. I eat cereal around 6:15 and a protein shake around 6:45. But then lunch isnt until 12:00. I can't really invest in protein bars and I can't bring in tuna because it will reak and no one wants that at 10:00 am. I do sometimes bring a yogurt but that is only 7 grams of protein.

I was thinking of possibly cooking half a dozen eggs and putting them in a smaller tupper-weare and then heating them up in the microwave latter. Maybe make a tuna fish sandwhich w/ cheese heat that up in the microwave? Or a protein shake in a bottle to be left in the fridge. Any actual food my parents will buy but any supplement I must buy.

Thanks for you help!

Here's what I do....

6:15am - 2/3 c. oats with 1/4 c. Fiber One cereal = 270 calories, and it keeps me full for a couple hours with slow-digesting carbs

then throughout the morning I'll snack on almonds and sometime mid-morning I'll eat 1/3 lb. of shaved turkey breast (no bread)

I'll take in my pre-workout shake around 11:15am and work out around Noon

Another great desk food is Jack's Links Jerky Nuggets (or any brand beef jerky or jerky nuggets). They stash conveniently in a desk drawer, can't be smelled by co-workers, and have lots of protein.

Do you have a microwave and a fridge?? Then you can bring anything except fish really. But if you mix up your tuna the night before in a tupperware it really won't smell too much. I used to eat it all the time at work, and no one really noticed. Now eggs cooked in the 'wave do smell. You may want to go with some hard boiled. Tuna or salmon in pouches, precooked chix & turkey + veggies or salads....

breast from bird sandwitch (hole wheat bread)

Eggs would stink too, I would go with a chicken sandwhich or shake.

Almonds, cahews, natural pb in oatmeal and hard boiled eggs done the night before don't smell too bad, maybe crack them out of your office.

Actually I used to scramble my eggs the nite before and leave them just slightly undone then reheat them in the 'wave....didn't smell too bad, but it was noticed....

I'm new into eating good but I keep some almonds at my desk, a small can of protein powder and a medium sized can of oats in my big drawer. I keep some low carb milk in the fridge along with some frozen pre-cooked chicken breasts in the freezer to eat. Take a trip to costco and load up on chicken breasts and salmon burgers that I found with 28g of protein and 0 carbs. Like others have said cook some of your meals before and bring it to to work in tupper ware and heat it up. Any place that doesn't have a microwave or fridge is focking cheap IMHO.

bump to the cc.. if you want to be economical, buy it in the larger tubs and put it in a little tupperware container to bring to work
