All I eat is carbs, so I've promised myself (in order to fit better into my dress), that I'm going to eat more protein.
Can you girls help me? What can I get for lunch at an NYC deli, etc. that has lots of protein???
Suggestions PLEASE!!
TIA!!

Re: WR: Protein for lunch??
chicken, fish, peanut butter, meat.
step away from the panini's and the sandwiches and head for the toss your own salad bar.
beans, avocodo (good fat), eggs...all of these things can be thrown in a salad and are filling and protein filled.

veggie burgers are also a good form of protein.

FYI, I know everyone has their own thing, and carbs are supposed to be evil right now, but...
my personal trainer has me on carby breakfast and lunch with a low carb dinner and I am in the best shape Ive ever been in.
You burn the carbs throughout the day. After dinner, when you arent active, is when they settle in your body.
If your not eating carbs you will have no energy.
Carbs rock!

where are you again? you can find them in MOST deli's. are you by Grand Central? in any event, Pax should have them and most places like Pax.

You can always get one of those toss your own salads and get a lean meat, cheese and beans..
I'm not to sure about veggie burgers, i was told they are high in carbs. (corn carrots, peas are usually active ingred.)
If you are by grand central there is a place on the lexington avenue and 44th street enterance of Grand Central called Cucina. It is one of those places where you put what you want in a container and they weigh it. Their turkey and salmon are awesome and the veggies are good too!!!

Where do you work? Are there any diners? They usually have veggie burgers - even a lot of delis do.

There are two..one at the 45th enterance and one at 44th.
45 has stuff already prepared..salads, sandw. and hot food.
the 44 has all, it is just you choose and weigh..just be careful not to load up on the heavy stuff..it will cost you!!!!
