rollo Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 ...but i'm currently eating my lunch and going "ugh...i'm SO not enjoying this" to be honest, i'm surprised it hadn't happened sooner. but i'm eating scrambled eggs, vegtables, and avocado. maybe because i ate eggs for breakfast. or the avocado is too soft, or maybe my seasoning was off but i am NOT enjoying this lunch. i'm actually kind of powering through it, just to - nope, i just changed my mind. not eating this.

paleopoledancer Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I get it! Totally happens to me at times as well. There are only so many bites of kale I can handle! Maybe you need more variety in your food choices? If I eat eggs for breakfast, even the thought of eggs for dinner is unappetizing. If I eat eggs for breakfast everyday, I often need a little switch up to keep me motivated. I love to package leftovers into balanced meals and freeze them. I reheat them in the microwave, and everyday I have an amazing lunch! Another option is checking out Whole Foods hot bar. I see you're in SaMo. I recommend the WF on 23rd and Wilshire or the one on Barrington and National. Both have great hot bars with tons of paleo/Whole30 options!

rollo Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 paleopoledancer - i use the one on 23rd and wilshire all the time! and yeah, i think i just got fed up of the same veggies and after egg for breakfast, reheated egg for lunch didn't cut it. i haven't yet managed to cook a meal that has leftovers cooking's new to me, so i've been basically cooking just enough for each meal. i'm working on it, though!! and look forward to the day soon when i have containers of frozen leftovers in my freezer! the hot bar's a good idea, and fortunately they add ingredient lists so i can make sure i'm eating compliant. thx!

mollyknight Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The one downside to having meals with leftovers is when you don't really enjoy the meal you made...and then you have extra that you feel bad wasting. Wasn't crazy about my lunch yesterday (ground lamb with sauteed kale and baba ghanouj) and now I have to have it again today. Hmph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleopoledancer Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Yes, having leftovers that are less-than-tasty is a total bummer! BUT, you can spice it up if you're creative. For instance, made a less-than-flavorful roast beef monday night? Refrigerate the leftovers with a little extra salt and spices, and use them in egg scramble for the rest of the week! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollo Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Yeah, the hard part is when i'm at work...hard to be creative when you're eating less-than-tasty out of a plastic container with a look of boredom on your face. but i'm trying!
