What are some good ideas for meals??
Just wanted to get some suggestions for some Healthy Meals! I want to make sure I am taking care of myself and my little one. My hardest meal is lunch since I am on the go a lot ( not in an office environment).
So I need suggestions that I can get on the run in a deli for lunch? Or should I just try to pack lunch?
What are you eating for breakfast?
Snacks?
Dinners?
Thank you ladies!!!!

Yes, That's why I am having such a difficult time at figuring out what to eat.
I would usually run into a deli and pick up a wrap with Turkey and cheese or create something at the salad bar....but now I will not get either.
Maybe I will be better off just packing lunch.

That's not true. Everything in moderation is okay. As long as you're not eating it every day then you should be fine. You could also add in chicken breast sandwiches, salads with chicken on top. There's not much that you can't find on the go.

Yes. Tuna is fine in moderation. Limit it to a few times a month.
I have eaten deli meat like there is no tomorrow- but always make sure it's from a clean, reputable place where the meat moves. Order Boar's Head since that moves the most.
Just remember all deli meats have tons of sodium- so if you are swelling at all, you;ll want to limit that too.

From the deli I have ordered turkey sandwiches - I ask them to just heat up the turkey in the microwave for 30 seconds before they put it on the sandwich.
Egg salad is good, lots of protein.
Cheese, lettuce, and tomato
Egg whites with cheese and tomato
Chicken cutlet sandwiches (heated)
Salads
Soups
