Work Lunch #1

When deciding quickly what I was going to have for lunch at work this morning, I chose to take the same food as my daughter did for lunch. All natural peanut butter and jelly sandwich on 100%whole wheat bread. I shared a can of pears with her (the kind in it's own juice) and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. A small bag of walnuts and a banana for a midday snack (30 grams of carbohydrates)
Lunch equaled 45 grams of carbohydrate and the fat came from the peanut butter (1Tbsp=8 grams total fat).

Lunches don't have to be fancy but it is very important to have a meal/food in your belly every 4-5 hrs. Having 15-30 gram carb snacks with protein in between meals can also keep the metabolism moving. Yes.....breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but don't leave out lunch. Many of my clients, that skip lunch, tend to over-eat during the evening because the brain is trying to catch up on their missing calories from the day. Feed your body with the fuel you need each day. Most people will lose weight just by eating more regularly. What did you have for lunch today? Please share!!!
