Girls who do WW, or sorta follow it

is that a 2-point lunch?

i usually eat about 6-8 points for lunch, 6 on regular days & 8 when I am working out.

typical lunch would be a lean cuisine or ww meal (either 4 or 5 point ones) and then either the ww veggie soup or carrots & fat free ranch dip (sour cream & a pack of the hidden valley ranch dip stuff- 1 point)

i also sometimes steam eggplant & put diced tomatoes over it and ff mozz- its very filling and only about 3-4 points depending on how much cheese you use

I usually like to eat between 5 and 6 points. Today I took some left over pasta, and I cried b/c it was so crappy in the microwave. Ok, I really didn't cry, but I'm just so hungry at lunch. Usually I'll buy frozens, but they weren't on sale at waldbaums this week. Maybe turkey on wheat w/tomato would be better.

Walmart and Target (especially the one in westbury) have lean cuisine's and smart ones for so much cheaper than the supermarkets! Even when they're on sale!

The black bean and cheese burrito mrsfab posted is very very filling

honestly you are probably better off getting a really big salad for lunch - those soups and frozen meals are loaded with sodium and everytime i ever ate one i was never full....

usually i eat cereal and yogurt for lunch b/c i am a cheap a$$ but once in awhile i get a salad - lettuce, spinach, cucumber, tomato, green peppers, carrots - i try to only put in healthy things like veggies and i go really light on the dressing - sometimes just plain vinegar with a little salt and pepper or balsamic.....its probably the same caloric intake or less but you'll probably be more full - i would eat salad everyday BUT like i said i am a cheap a$$

Why is there 1/2 a banana in it though? That seems odd to me.

---

cause sometimes a little banana is all you need

Nicole I bet your stomach is the size of a peanut.

it's not - maybe during the day it is but it DEF stretches out at night ....i am bad b/c i won't eat much during the day and then at night i will eat a big dinner and snacks - like i'll eat all 1500 calories at once which is really bad to do i can EASILY eat 1/2 lb of pasta on my own - i can eat more than my DH

for dinner last night I had 4 slices of pizza and half a bag of doritos (the big bag!) BUT all i ate for lunch was cereal and i never ever eat breakfast DH says its like I hibernate for the night

They say if you eat like that you will gain weight but I have been pretty steady for awhile now so I guess it works for me? I used to eat A LOT healthier during wedding planning but I am back to old ways now.....

Your teeny body accepted 4 slices of pizza? OMG, you must hibernate at night!

WW is so hard - I know what you mean about lunches. I usually bring a salad or a soup or a salad and a soup! But its like what else can you have???

Did you just start WW? I think it is hard at first for your stomach to adjust to eating so little but after a few weeks it will get better/easier. Whenever I change my diet and portions I am like starving 24-7 for the first 2 weeks

it was regular slices!

i can eat an extraordinary amount of food during a sitting - not even joking i probably could do competitive eating......i can eat A LOT - when I meet new people they are usually really impressed when they see how much i eat.......

BUT that doesnt mean i eat like that all the time or for every meal - i'm not one of those people who can eat whatever they want whenever they want and can stay skinny.....but if its something i like i can eat A LOT....even at restaurants the waiters laugh b/c i always finish mine and pick on DH's food
