Diet While in School?

Shaolin Posts: 48 Joined: 2003/01/15	2003/01/17, 03:20 PM this monday im going to be starting school again, and im mostly there during the whole day, some days shorter then other. breakfast and dinner is no problem. but for lunch and snacks, i dont know how my diet is going to be, all there is around are fastfood restaurants. i can bring little snacks to school, but i dont know what to bring. There is a nutrition store however and sometimes i get protein bars, but they dont fill me up enough and ill still feel full, all there is around is junk food, which isnt good for my diet. I guess it could be good also since im trying to cut, and i wont be eating a lot. Id appreciate any good tips on how to work with my diet while in school.

Don't forget a good salad with olive oil and garlic and vinegar.

Another thing that I do and this goes along with what carivan mentioned, is when I cook chicken breasts for dinner, I'll cook an extra one for lunch. Hope this helps a little and gives you some ideas. :)

Try some good olive oil and put some herbs. -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back! Franklin P.

mackfactor Posts: 766 Joined: 2002/10/17	2003/01/21, 11:38 AM I use Biotest's low-carb MRP and that mixes well in a shaker. Protein bars are better than nothing, but not quite as good as powdered MRP's. There are some that are chock full of sugar and often the protein quality suffers a bit. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan
