My Hubby is such a healthy guy so he has coached me, but I do revert to my love for sweet, fried, and fatty food! Super quick and easy: buy a bag of salad and a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and just cut the chiken off and lay it on the greens! Could do balsamic vinegar and olive oil for dressing...gives it some flavor :) I actually just started something on Fridays on my blog about eating well (and more) if you'd like to stop by :)Naturally Caffeinated Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00365384111940970269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189821419772726959.post-42464017386159318632008-08-21T16:51:00.000-05:002008-08-21T16:51:00.000-05:00First of all, thanks for visiting me today! :) I...First of all, thanks for visiting me today! :) I don't have anything to say about healthy eating but I was hoping to get some tips from some of your commenters!

Before coming home, I worked at an elementary school but, more often than not, brought my lunch. Sandwiches and wraps were always a favorite; but I also loved things like chicken salad and crackers, couscous salads, pasta salads, or even leftovers from the night before. It helped to have a plan for lunch, just like I would menu plan for dinner.<BR/><BR/>Now as an at home mom, we still do sandwiches a couple of times a week. But I try to introduce a lot of new foods at lunch... some of our current favorites are english muffin pizzas and quesadillas.Sarah Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384771751959043134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189821419772726959.post-11007141407432574852008-08-20T18:17:00.000-05:002008-08-20T18:17:00.000-05:00Hi Whitney!

I think it's good not to totally cut out junk food and the yummy stuff you like to eat- if you do that you'll end up diving back much worse than you are eating now.

Most days I bring a salad, because chances are I won't make anything green like that for dinner - I'll want something bigger or better. I make that super easy by preparing the lettuce beforehand - washing it, cutting it into small pieces and putting in large ziploc bags with a damp papertowel in it to keep it fresh. You can add whatever you like to keep it tasty - and it's healthy too.<BR/><BR/>I also munch on high protein cereal bars by South beach diet. They're tasty and keep the munchies away during the day since they're high in protein - anything higher in protein will keep you fuller longer and give you more energy.Jennifer Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607456428606933279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189821419772726959.post-66135003517993733972008-08-20T10:37:00.000-05:002008-08-20T10:37:00.000-05:00I loved the Babysitter's Club...the movie was ...I loved the Babysitter's Club...the movie was on the other day and I watched bits of it! <BR/><BR/>I feel you on the weight gain! I always want to be healthy, but I just can't do it. I am still on my strawberry yogurt kick. I really want to be able to eat 6 small meals a day, but I know it is never going to happen. I like to cook big dinners too much. Plus, my husby is a skinny-mini and needs all the calories he can get. So I am eating half a sandwich at lunch with a small snack like a granola bar. Along with my breakfast of champions: Slim fast followed by morning snack of yogurt. But what really hurts me is the afternoon. I will pig out on whatever I can find: m&m's, skittles, etc. Which reminds me there is still a bag of m&m's in the conference room....I'll beat you there!Sweet Simplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612389037838617767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189821419772726959.post-4931971434766313212008-08-20T10:36:00.000-05:002008-08-20T10:36:00.000-05:00at home I eat leftovers, and I eat smaller amounts...at home I eat leftovers, and I eat smaller amounts more frequently. <BR/>At work (supermarket), sometimes I will have the hot entree, or chicken strips, or a wrap sandwich. all from the deli (probably not the best calorie wise).
