How 'hearty' are your lunches?

When I'm in the office pantry heating up my lunch in the microwave...I see people (mostly women) picking up something small like a yogurt and some granola and when I chat with them they tell me thats their lunch.

Then the microwave beeps and I take out my entire platter of baked ziti and chicken parm.

My friend at work just eats almonds and some oatmeal. i dont get it. i need more food than that!!

what about you guys? do you bring full meals into work for lunch like I do?

Full meals plus snacks

I usually bring some leftovers (like a cup of pasta) a lean cuisine, maybe a big salad, that sort of thing.

Mind you - I'm STARVING though.

same here!! nothing to be ashamed about!! in fact I spend most of my time at work eating

I am wiping the grease off of my chin from the yummy garlic knots and pizza that I just had for lunch. I eat this almost everyday. A salad or yogurt would never fill me up.

today I am having a big salad & cup of soup with ww pretzels on the side.

a yogurt wouldnt do jack-shiiit for me!

I wish they were more hearty. Im trying to keep the calorie count down during the day because i eat pretty big dinners with DH. But, i cant just eat a handful of granola and a yogurt. Lately for lunch i have been eating the WW soup and an apple or a pear. Today i had an oatmeal and a hard boiled egg for breakfast. Im still hungry.

I am!! But i dont know how else to keep within a certain amount of calories. I cant just sit and watch DH eat big meals at night, i have to join him! So i try to save up the calories for home- doesnt always work though.

2nd breakfast, morning snack--as long as there is food I dont care what we call it!

i go to the gym during my lunch break so when I come back i'm starving---omg I sound like a hungry beast

yogurt and granola??? how??

I usually eat meals equal to dinner for lunch. Not LARGE meals, but the filling enough.

Breakfast is smaller..like a oatmeal packet w/ added protein powder.
