 Ossie-Sharon 9 years ago | Hi, annibury. The personal version of the Menu Planner would like suit your needs. It’s the third (right-most) option among the Menu Planner applications. |
| Ossie-Sharon 9 years ago | Hi, Sheryl and Djcolyar. The following are some ideas:
•Fresh and dried fruit
•Cut raw vegetables
•Oven-baked vegetable chips
•Nuts and seeds
•Trail mix combinations of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit
•Sandwiches – good breads with nut butters, hummus and similar spreads, tahini, canned or smoked fish, cheese, homemade “cold cuts” from fresh meats, egg salad, etc.
•Whole grain or Paleo crackers plus any of the above
•Hard-boiled eggs
•Sliced or string cheese
•Cottage cheese
•Yogurt
•Milk (dairy or vegetal), plain or flavored with cocoa powder and a recommended sweetener
•Hearty soup in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. meat or legume, vegetable, whole grain)
•Hearty smoothie/shake in a thermos (2-3 food groups, i.e. fruit/vegetable, dairy/vegan, seeds)
•Edamame or other legume/pulse snacks
•Whole grain or Paleo cereal or granola (cold in small sealable bag, cooked in thermos)
•Canned beans
•Prepared healthy foods in containers – from leftovers or prepared the night or weekend before.
•Homemade whole-food muffins or bars
•Popped grains, i.e. organic popcorn, sorghum, quinoa |
 annibury 9 years ago | Hello i only joined at the weekend and started Monday on a fixed menu from the menu tab, decided this wont work for me as it feels like a military maneuver prepping all the meals. i work long hours and so time spent in the kitchen on a daily basis will be a struggle to sustain. i figure if i loose a day at the weekend cooking and freezing the the on line recipes i stand a better chance. but i would feel safer if i could input my menu choices on the website (dont know the tab to use to do this) to calculate the positive% of the menu choices and be able to have a shopping list automatically created on line … Is it possible to do this? |
 Djcolyar 9 years ago | I’d love to know too! I have the same issue — take my lunch every day, and I get bored with the same old thing. |
 SherylT 9 years ago | At my job I work 8 hrs. a day, but have no access to kitchen or even a microwave to prepare lunches. I have a very basic menu for my plan, but some lunches/snacks still need to be heated. Any suggestions on easy “no cook” lunches! |
