    The important question is where are you getting your BBQ brisket from.
    If you live in Kansas City, and you are NOT getting it from Jack
    Stack's, that might be your core problem.

    Though I digress....

    Seriously, though, I tend to make my own lunch to take to work because
    the cafeteria options and the fast food outlets around me dont' thrill
    me. Turkey Sammich, sometimes with guac, some leftover rice or pasta,
    fruit, chips, carrots, you know, the healthy stuff.

    Occasionally, I'll spluge and get an Italian Beef with fries. every
    few months.

    Hey guys/gals I've been lurking through the group for a while and while
    I'm sitting at my desk at work I'm asking myself what is something
    healthy to eat for lunch. I usually just hit a local bbq place and get a
    1/4 pound of brisket, I know its not very healthy but any ideas you guys
    have would be cool.

    -Thanks

    again, we need to know the goal of this diet.... just to get through a
    sedentary life without packing on the weight, or to manage a moderately
    active life, or to fuel a fairly serious athlete?

    and i wouldn't recommend chips, which ARE NOT healthy stuff.

    A real runner runs during lunch hour :-)

    oh, and why is that? i've run at all hours of the day. running around
    noon can be unnecessarily hot with the sun at full force in mid-summer.

    You know I would love to do that, but its a little hard if there are no
    showers at your office.

    Screw 'em if they can't take a joke! Let 'em wiff some BO, it's good
    for the character.

    My employer is planning on moving to a building with showers and is only
    a mile or so away from my house, so I plan biking and jogging to work. 🙂

    So you're happy because...why? He's moving so close to you that you'll
    no longer break a sweat running or riding there, so what's the point?

    Thank you for your honesty, you non-runner punkass [censored].

    Looks like someone hasn't run in Texas during the summer time

    I pack my lunch daily. PB&J sandwich, slice of cheese, pickle,
    carrots and celery, raisins, sliced apple. Yum!

    Weight loss = (calories out) - (calories in). In other words, maintain a
    caloric deficit by eating less than you burn.

    I agree with most of your post, but this I think has been disproven by
    the Atkins crowd. You can eat a ton of fat cals and be unable to use or
    store them if you have no carbs. I am not basing this on what Atkins
    claimed, but on the experience of people I know.

    I still don't think it's a good diet though, since IMHO it's bound to
    lead to heart disease or colon cancer or some bad thing. Such an
    extreme dietary imbalance just can't be good. Better to learn to eat
    the right amounts of various foods in the first place as you stated.

    Any non-biased studies you could site? Always willing to learn. Thanks.

    Pill M.

    Just ignore Pill, he's one of those 2+2=4 and if there's no hard proof
    of it, then it cannot exist people. Probably coached by Donovan.
    Do long slow runs to lose weight. This sets up your body to burn fat
    all day and night, not just during your run. You'll burn more calories
    all day and night long.
