I've been struggling with my weight for all of my life, and as my joints become more and more creaky and painful, I've been more and more motivated to do something about it. One of the big problems I have, though, is taking lunch to school. It's rarely all that healthy, and of course, eating at the school's own greasy spoon is, well, not too healthy either. It's bad for the pocketbook, too. Thus I thought I'd appeal to the most creative and smartest bunch of people I know, but Fry and Laurie won't take my calls, so I'm stuck asking you lot. ;D
The overall idea is to split my meals up into smaller portions more times a day. The biggest constraint is that anything I take to school has to survive a number of hours without refrigeration. I do have a microwave handy, though. Here are some thoughts:
1) Mixed fruit and cottage cheese. This should be able to survive without refrigeration for a bit, and be fairly healthy.
2) Stir-fried veggies and noodles. I'd want to use a good-for-me oil, of course, and not take a huge portion. Something like this could be easily nuked. I could also make a larger amount in advance and take portions over the course of a week.
3) Bagel and cream cheese. Perhaps not the healthiest thing, but not the worst, and it would survive without chill for a time.
4) Of course, pieces of fruit, like apples, bananas, and oranges. And grapefruits. Yes, I'm weird.
I'm sure there are a lot of good ideas out there. Thanks in advance for brainstorming with me.
