[Diabetes-talk] Lunch

Sun Nov 10 22:05:02 UTC 2013

Good afternoon Debbie and the List,

I hope everyone is having a great day.

I carry a small day pack on my should or sometimes a small waste pack. In it I keep my diabetic supplies, a few Kind bars (Almond, Apricot, Vanilla Yogurt or one of the Nuts and Sea Salt), a bag of a mixture of dried fruit and nuts, One or two pieces of fresh fruit (Apples, Pears, 8 to 10 grapes, half a banana, even fresh or frozen berries (that will though by the time I want to eat them, …) what ever is in season. I keep my lunch between 300 and 400 calories and around 75 carbs. 

I try to avoid gluten, salt, and sugar. I always get raw nuts (Almonds, Walnuts, or Pistachio.). If they are salted it must be with Sea Salt. I always try my best to stay in the lower half of the Glycemic Index with my choices. 

I am a big fan of home made soups. Especially in the cooler months of the years. A thermos of soup or frozen container of soup. I freeze my soup in small one cup or one pint screw top containers.

I will refrigerate a sandwich wrapped in foil and store it in an instated container to keep it cold for lunch. I buy rye, multi-grain / whole grain (make sure that wheat flower is listed first on the ingredients. Otherwise you are likely buying white bread in a wolfs disguise.), or other breads in the lower have of the Glycemic Index. I do periodically have Sour Dough bread or English Muffins / loaf. 

I prefer not buying sandwich meat at the dell unless it is a very top shelf brand. Sliced chicken or turkey breast, pork roast or tenderloin, and London Broil cooked at home are the best way to control what you eat and how many preservatives are in it. Canned tuna or Salmon in water that is drained with a little Miraclewhip or other condiment of your choice. I stay away from Catchup. I am a big fan of mustards on my sandwiches. Tomatoes, Lettuce, bean sprouts, pickles, thinly sliced olives, sliced grapes, or chopped almonds are favored toppings for my sandwiches. Sliced or chopped almonds with sliced grapes work very nicely in a chicken or tuna salad.

I drink mostly water or tea. Occasionally a cup of coffee. If you can drink milk I will put 6 to 8 Ounces of milk in a small insulated wall screw top container or thermos with a few ice cubes. This should only be kept for four hours unless you have a refrigerator to put it in.
