The last couple of days I've been out to lunch with friends and colleagues which always brings up questions about what to eat. The other day we went to Tokyo Joes. If you don't know Tokyo Joe's, it's like many of the casual fast food places here in Denver - much better than McD's or BK, but not quite sit-down restaurant. TJ's has asian fare with "stir fry" like bowls. So, I chose the veggie bowl which had lots of veggies over white rice. I picked Teriyaki sauce which was good but not sure if it was the healthiest choice. I ate all of the veggies and only some of the rice. I also had a spring roll that had avocado and other veggies. So, all in all, I think not bad choices. <br /><br />Yesterday, I went to Wahoo Taco - again casual fast food but this time mexican food. I chose chicken (rather than steak) for my enchilada and taco. And, I chose salad instead of beans and rice which I felt was also the healthier choice.<br /><br />Also - thanks Susan for your comments to my last post. All good suggestions. Please keep all of your good ideas coming!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24301028-115400600934147596?l=nedprofessional.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14029748043275450264noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24301028.post-1153700892927090822006-07-23T18:03:00.000-06:002006-07-23T18:28:12.950-06:00Do you find it difficult to eat the right foods when you are on the run? I do! I'm dashing out the door in the morning with nothing but my coffee. I'm running to the cafeteria for a quick 20 minute lunch. Once I get home, I'm tired. With no one but me to cook for, who wants to cook?! I've been working all day - I don't want to cook or worse - clean up the mess afterwards. As a result, I tend to make poor, or less than ideal, food choices throughout the day. And, I know better!<br /><br />So, I'm on a quest to find ways to eat right when you are a busy professional (or a busy anybody). So, here are a couple of ideas I have this week. I've started to grab a nutrition bar on my way out the door with my coffee. (Usana sells several good options). I also discovered whole wheat frozen raviolis at Wild Oats. They are good (and don't taste any different than regular pasta). I also found a healthier version of frozen pizza at Wild Oats. Pasta and pizza, I'm sorry to say, are regular dinners for me. <br /><br />Any other ideas?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24301028-115370089292709082?l=nedprofessional.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14029748043275450264noreply@blogger.com2
