[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 322019, member: 40343"] The issue of what to eat for lunchtimes when I'm out and about is a real problem. Like you say there is only so much cheese, ham and eggs you can take before it gets boring. I've actually settled on something like a prawn and mayo wholemeal bread sandwich. I can just get away with two slices of real bread if the content of the sandwich is high fat as that and the fact its brown bread help slow down the effect of the bread. If you have access to a microwave in your normal office then taking some homemade soup (or anything you can heat up) is an option. If you want to live dangerously and actually eat something like a pasta based thing then if you cook the pasta let it cool in your fridge overnight and reheat its BG raising effects will have been lowered by a significant bit. Not enough to go mad with but the effect is well documented. You can do a similar trick with bread. At home I deep freeze the Burgen and then always eat it as toast. The cool down heat up trick seems to work on that as well for me at least. Its called retrograding starches. [/QUOTE]
