QUESTION OF THE DAY, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2022

[neely]

Everyone talks about breakfast and dinner but what about lunch? I need to eat a midday meal even if it's something quick and easy like a granola bar or yogurt. If I'm home I will usually make half a sandwich like PB&J with a veggie on the side, fruit and coffee. If I'm meeting friends at a restaurant I order some type of salad. My husband hardly ever eats lunch although I've tried to get him into the habit so he won't be starving at dinner.

QUESTION OF THE DAY - DO YOU EAT LUNCH AND WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO EAT?

 

[vansX2]

I eat a form of lunch, though it may not be at noon. It depends on what time I get up in the morning. Being retired, I pretty much set my own schedule.

 

[misty8723]

I just snack, no formal lunch since I retired. Lunch when I worked and went into the office was often Wendy's, plain burger without the bun and baked potato with butter.

 

[Lari]

I usually eat lunch around noon, maybe a little later if J and I get a super slow start to our day and have a very late breakfast.

For lunch it'll usually be a sandwich and chips, or a Morningstar chik patty sandwich, or leftovers. We eat a lot of leftovers for lunch because my husband tends to ignore them. Occasionally I'll make something like oatmeal if I've run out of things to serve.

 

[maggiedemi]

I usually have a Sammich or Salad, sometimes Mac & Cheese, Stir Fry, Toast/Bagel, or leftovers.

No formal lunch for me either (I, too, am retired). I just graze a little during the day. Seems to suit my innards better that way.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I do like to have lunch. I used to skip breakfast all the time or just eat something portable at my desk at work. But after staying home with DD I really got in the habit of eating 3 meals. I think it helps that I'm on my own schedule since I'm home.

I like soup and a sandwich best. But other favorites are things like pastina with butter and ketchup or even just leftovers. I get tired of sandwiches; but I try to keep it healthier and sodium can easily get out of control with soups alone!

 

[Willowy]

If I'm working, I pack a lunch. It varies---a TV dinner, a sandwich, leftovers, today it's hummus and mini pitas. If I'm at home I just sort of graze all day.

 

[DreamerRose]

I usually have a sandwich and half a piece of fruit. I do get tired of sandwiches, but the only time I eat something else is ramen noodles.

 

[game misconduct]

usually i try to eat 3 meals a day sandwhich for lunch unless its a big late breakfast then i will just wait for dinner as next meal but if i dont eat 3 meals a day i begin to lose weightget dirty looks from gf and nurses cause i lose weight without trying to sometimes

 

[NY cat man]

My lunch can be sandwiches and a cup of tea, soup and tea, leftovers, whatever. The only constant is the tea.

 

[kashmir64]

I usually don't eat anything until evening. I know what you're going to say and no I don't stuff myself at dinner. I just don't eat much anymore. I only eat when I'm hungry and I'm just not hungry.

 

[PMousse]

Yes, I must eat lunch or I'll be too hungry to do anything. During workdays I usually heat up some leftovers, whatever's in the fridge.

 

[Tobermory]

My standard lunch fare is half of a PB&J, an apple, and a glass of milk. The sandwich occasionally varies. My husband is making some tuna salad as I write this (accompanied, not surprisingly, by a loud feline chorus in the background) so that will be today’s half sandwich. The apple and milk are a constant. Immediately after lunch, we relax with a cup of hot tea.

 

[allmykitties]

Lunch (as well as breakfast and dinner) is included in my meal plan for this diet. Today, I had a variant buffalo chicken (chicken and broccoli cooked together with a sauce formed by hot sauce, tomato paste, water, and butter). It was yummy--just finished that.

Other times, it is a salad (yesterday's salad was chicken on mixed greens with bacon, cherry tomatoes, and avocado with a dressing made with balsamic vinegar and oil) or other such things. If I weren't doing the diet (low carbs other than low-glycemic index carbs), I'd probably just do a bowl of soup with crackers or my favorite comfort food: tomato soup with a grilled cheese.

 

[denice]

I usually don't eat anything for lunch. I work from home so I don't really have a formal mean plan. I have cereal or make a smoothie for breakfast and skip lunch. I do snack a little throughout the day. I try to keep some fruit and cheese around for snacking, that is why I don't eat a ridiculous amount of food for dinner.

 

[Kat0121]

I work from home too so usually I'll make a sandwich or warm up some leftovers if I have them.

 

[Silver Crazy]

My lunch is quite often the biggest meal of the day and around work we have an endless variety of food shops and restaurants of all different cultures due to a large university near us so every lunchtime meal is never boring or routine.

 

[strider rose]

i dont have a set meal time

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Since I work from home, I generally eat leftovers (although even when I was going into work, I'd usually bring leftovers). If I'm not really feeling like doing anything, I might just eat crackers or a peanut butter sandwich. When I have lunch depends on when I wake up and when I have meetings. Sometimes it can be 11am and sometimes it can be as late as 2pm.
