What's in your lunchbox?

lumberjim · 05-26-2010, 07:51 PM

Do you take lunch to work?

Dinner?

Most days, I take all 3 meals. I want to know what you do because it's likely that it's smarter than what I'm doing, and I want to copy off of you.

I usually take 2-4 hard boiled eggs (I'll eat 2 asap when I get to work at 9am) and some kind of soup or pasta situation that jinx made a bunch of. Depending on how busy it is, I eat that for lunch or dinner...and then I make a swammich for the other meal. I keep Buddig single serve lunch meats, baby spinach and mayo in my fridge and a loaf of Arnold Bread.

and you?

sounds great to me.

I often take fruit or yogurt for breakfast and eat it at work. Boughten roast chicken, tortillas, and condiments or your choice for non-fried tacos works well.

How is your cholesterol level? That's a lot of eggs, but I'm not convinced about the link between dietary and blood cholesterol.

I don't work, but I do eat most meals on the go. Breakfast will be buttered toast and a quartered orange. If not able to eat en route, then the orange goes in a baggy and the toast wrapped in kitchen paper. Some kind of soup or pasta or homemade pizza if a microwave is avaialble. Otherwise sandwich type stuff. And snacks (including fruit) for emergencies. And a coolbag full of cans of Diet Coke and fizzy water. And bottled water too. My car is stocked with bottled water and snacks

So pretty much the same deal.

(Supposedly)The lecithin (lowers blood cholesterol) remains intact in hard boiled eggs, as opposed to being destroyed by frying.

monster · 05-26-2010, 08:15 PM

but doesn't negate the actual cholesterol within the eggs....

jinx · 05-26-2010, 08:23 PM

Are you sure?

monster · 05-26-2010, 08:25 PM

no. But that's what THEY say......

monster · 05-26-2010, 08:27 PM

...and I ate a shitload of eggs the week before i got my stupidly high cholesterol result, but not much else different in my diet.....

Why would the lethicin remain in tact only in the one form of cooking eggs? is the shell a factor?

monster · 05-26-2010, 08:30 PM

hmm. I found this...

but the eggs I ate were freerange and I do not break the yolks when I fry....

jinx · 05-26-2010, 08:31 PM

I don't know.

but it's not exactly unbiased or littered with actual evidence. Still, any starting point is good....

monster · 05-26-2010, 08:34 PM

oh god, now I feel the need for an egg supper, and I've been so GOOD today -lunch was a large bowl of lettuce and celery FFS. Snacks were all fruit.... and now I WANT eggs. And I want them fried with broken yolks.....

monster · 05-26-2010, 08:34 PM

..and hash browns and bacon...

jinx · 05-26-2010, 08:37 PM

I just want the hash browns.... but throw a little cheese on them....
