zak786 Posts: 183 Joined: 2005/03/25	2005/09/02, 12:36 PM Ok, my college is opening and I dnt know what to do at lunch time. School serves crap junk, all around school are fast food shops and a Tesco supermarket (i live in London). I cld get something from Tesco but I dunno wot healthy kind of readymade stuff they sell. And I cant cook some chicken breasts or stuff like that at home for numerous reasons. So if you guys can help me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks -------------- \"Liyytttweighttttttt !!!

The granola bars I can get are these Mcvitie Go Ahead Granola Bar Almond Raisen Cranberry 6pk Mcvitie Go Ahead Granola Bar Apple 6pk If I can eat these for lunch and snacks (I wldnt mind) IT WOULD BE TERRIFIC!!!!So pls bropie and others let me know if this is ok and add other options if any. Waiting for ur reply Thanks -------------- \"Liyytttweighttttttt !!! Nuttin but a peanut..\" Ronnie Coleman

Also w/those canned chick, turkey, mix in black beans, veggies and salsa. Very good, sorta like mexican. How about a natural PB and SF jam sandwhich?

What about those granola bars? Can I just have bars? Or is there anything els? Waiting for yor advice guys -------------- \"Liyytttweighttttttt !!! Nuttin but a peanut..\" Ronnie Coleman

bropie Posts: 1,084 Joined: 2004/12/04	2005/09/04, 08:51 PM canned meats would be a great idea.. a typical can of tuna packs about 35 grams of pure protein. buy in bulk, it'll be cheaper. buy some bread, make a sandwich.. peanut butter and jelly, fruit, make a salad, pasta with meat and veggies, wraps.. i would think that MRP's would get a little expensive to be eating all the time.

zak786 Posts: 183 Joined: 2005/03/25	2005/09/10, 06:57 PM OK so now school has opened and I am eating these tuna pasta salads.....but these damn healthy stuff are more expensive than the regular burger....DAMN!!! -------------- \"Liyytttweighttttttt !!! Nuttin but a peanut..\" Ronnie Coleman
