10 foods for the day

Hi,
I work in an office without a kitchen (but does have a small fridge).
What are 10 foods I could bring to eat during the day? Things I don't
have to cook (either at work or the night before) and things that I
can bring to work. What are the best fruits, veggies, crackers,
things like that that will help my sugar stay stable during the day.
Cindy
I have been eating a lot of string cheese and a few goldfish crackers.
Any suggestions?

Salads

Sandwiches on low carb bread (peanutbutter..tuna..chicken. ham..roast
beef...etc)

low carb wraps (same choices as sandwhiches)

any green veggies and yogurt dip or sour cream dip made by you so you know

Yeah, LOSE THE GOLDFISH!

Cheese
Nuts
Nut butter (and a spoon)
Tuna pouches or small cans
Sugar snap peas
Creamy dip or dressing
Prewashed mixed lettuces/greens
Raw celery, carrots
Cold cuts to roll up
Pickles

Notice there are no starches on the list, you eat too much and it's
giving you reactive hypoglycemia.

I'd add carrot sticks & cherry/grape tomatoes. Not as low carb as
non-starchy green vegs, but you already mentioned some kind of bread! Plus
the carrots, at least, have lots of crunch & take time to eat.

Well, there are thinkgs like tuna or sardines or canned salmon salad in a
little container you can store int eh fridge and eat with some salad
stuff like lettuce, green peppers, tomatos radises, cucumbers, etc.

There is cottage cheese, if you like with sstuff in it lke chopped
vegetables(many o the above) or small amounts of fruits like I do for
breakfast.

There is celery stalks that you can stuff with peanut butter or humous or
soft spreaddy cheeses. You can also have some Wasa crackers or Ryevita
whole grain crackers an spread one or two with the same kinds of stuff.

hard boiled eggs along with the salady stuff doesn't require a great deal
of cooking.

If you happen to be making chicken for dinner, make some extra pieces adn
bring thm along for lunch.

Right now, that exhausts my brain, but I am sure others will be along with
better suggestions.

Hi Cindy

First off, quit eating the goldfish or anything like it. You might as well
eat sugar. String cheese is fine.

Low carb tortilla filled with tuna salad, or ham & cheese, or any protein
and/or cheese of your choosing. Don't forget to add some fresh spinach,
lettuce, or tomato to your wrap.

Wasa light rye crackers and cream cheese or peanut butter.

Celery filled with cream cheese or peanut butter.

Carrot sticks, strawberries, slices of bell pepper,

Make a salad from fresh veggies, add ham & cheese, and full-fat salad
dressing. (Be sure to read the salad dressing label to make sure it is low
in carbs.)

Nuts

Beef jerky (once again be sure to read the label--some brands add sugar).

Goldfish crackers? Not much of a snack there. Have you seen
"A Fish Called Wanda"?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZAC2WuEaCc

For everything, regardless of how "healthy" it seems - test
after eating it until you know how healthy it is for YOU.

Fruit - apple, orange, pear - whatever is available that you
like.

Salads. Whatever your favourites are. You could prepare them
at home and take them to work to be kept in the fridge in
sealed plastic containers. Or you could have several
containers in the work fridge that you replenish from home
every few days: coleslaw (add the dressing as you use it);
lettuce; tomato etc. Depends on whether that's a problem for
your workmates and how much time and space you have for
putting it together at lunchtime.

Soups; cold ones - or maybe you could buy a cheap microwave
to sit on top of that fridge.

Sandwiches; just remember to test, some people like myself
have a one-slice-of bread limit for lunch.

Dips, such as hommus or various cheese dips or guacamoles,
with strips of carrot, or celery or asparagus for dippers or
crackers if your meter says they are OK. Try this cheesy
guacamole:

Think outside the square:-)

Small cans of tuna, flavoured ones are nice, to spread on the number of
crackers you can safely eat.

Olives.

Nuts.

A small amount of dried apricots (keep the rest at home!)

Small apple, mandarin, peach etc, small is the key word. But test for your
mileage.

Bottled salsa keeps for a while. But take a daily amount and leave the rest
at home.

Hard boiled eggs.

A container of cut up raw veggies of your liking. Can be used with the salsa
or as is.

Various cheeses (fetta, blue, cheddar etc.) A small piece of cheese with a
couple of plump olives or dried apricots is good.

Small pieces of smoked salmon on a cracker spread with a bit of creamed
cheese.

Yoghurt.

A few strawberries.

Individual serves of sugar free jello, set in small containers.

I've been meaning to mention a great canned tuna salad I've been
buying for a few months. I don't know what countries it's available in
(I buy it at Wal-Mart), but here are the specs of my favourite one:

Per 1 serving (170 grams - just happens to be 1 can)
Calories: 140
Fat: 2g
Sat Fat: 0.5 g
Trans fat: 0 g
Cholesterol 45 mg
Sodium: 370 mg
Carbs: 7 g
Fibre: 3 g
Sugars: 4 g
Protein: 24 g

The brand is: Ocean's Light Tuna Sundried Tomato Salad
Spoon and napkin are included. Cost is under 2 bucks per can.

It's a product of Thailand, and imported into Canada
by Ocean Fisheries Ltd.

They have a web site at http://www.oceanfish.com, where you can find
some of their other tuna salads; Spanish, Italian, French, etc.

I find a can to be plenty for lunch if I am not overly hungry, and I
often add a cheese sandwich or a small bowl of soup if I am average
hungry.

I don't have any affiliation with the company.

Hmm... The ones I mentioned are, I think, different from the ones you
were speaking of. These are full salads with various ingredients, like
corn, beans, carrots, and so on. I do like the small cans of flavoured
tuna, too. They are about 85 grams if I remember correctly.

Just tagging on here, because I've lost the beginning of this thread, but
Cindy, you can also include both ripe and green olives in your work food
snacks/lunch.

Which reminds me... I stopped in at Whole Foods last night and, along
with the stuff I needed, I also picked up a container of pitted green
olives with garlic and lemon. OMG. These things are SO good! I looked
for plain green olives to put my own garlic and lemon with, but they
didn't have them at the time. In future I'll buy the plain olives, peel
and smash up a half dozen or so cloves of garlic and cut 1 or 2 lemons
into 1/2 slices, mix with the olives, and let sit in the fridge for a
couple of days.

I think I need to go have a couple right now!

1/4 slices, not 1/2 slices. Dunno if it'd make a difference, but, well,
must be precise!

I deliberately look for the unpitted olives. I usually buy a
mix of different types in a hot chili/olive oil marinade.

I found I eat the pitted or stuffed ones too quickly, as you
say, so good:-) The seeds slow me down.
