So we’ve looked at how to do client meetings & still shift weight
That was 2 emails
& what snacks to eat when you’re bored in the office
That was 8 decent snack options
Now it’s time for what to eat when you’re rushed off your feet
But if you think you missed any of the previous emails let me
know & I’ll forward them on to you
1. Fast Food
It’s not actually as bad as what you think
& if you’re on the run it’s easy to pick up
At 500 calories & 25 grams protein a McDonalds Grilled Chicken & spicy
mayo wrap isn’t a bad option
The snack wraps come in at 240-260 calories and around 15-18g of protein
2 of them and again it’s not bad at all
Bear in mind a chicken & bacon or chicken & avocado sandwich in Pret comes in
around 500 calories & 25g protein
& a chicken salad from Pret is around the 370 calorie mark
All of these are decent options & I don’t care if some ‘fitness professionals’ are turning in
their grave cos I mentioned McDonalds
I live in the real world where being rushed off your feet & just wanting something
quick & easy is a real thing
& with that in mind a 6 inch turkey & ham Subway is only 260 calories
Even a steak & cheese 6 incher is only 347 calories
You just got to watch out when they bang 400,000 calories of sauce on top though
& of course we all know we secretly we’d love a 12 inch
So just do the maths & double it up
Subway also do wraps as well
2. Drinks
Do yourself a favour & have a black coffee (Americano), water or Coke zero as a drink
Even just for the simple reason you have more calories for food
It’s always a bonus if you can eat more
Surely you’d rather eat 210 more calories than drink a 500ml bottle of coke?
Even a Starbucks latte at 150 calories may be worth avoiding
Especially when you can eat a snickers for just 215 calories
Of course though if you want it just have it
But bear in mind apparently they do zero calorie syrup you can add to your coffees if
you have a sweet tooth
3. Emergency lunch
You’re out & about rushing from meeting to meeting
Suddenly hunger hits & you realise you haven’t got time to go for a proper lunch
Do you starve to death? No you go to your emergency lunch bag
2-4 wraps sealed in a packet
& a few cans of tuna ready to be opened
& no not the smelly bland ‘tuna in brine’
You’ve picked up some of the multiple or tasty flavours they do
Sweet Chilli, Thai Curry & Indian Curry are my favourites
As long as you’ve remembered to pack a knife or fork open the cans up
Stick the tuna in the wrap
& you’ve got a high protein low calorie super quick emergency lunch to get through
What I’m basically saying is pack these into your bag on a Sunday eve
& as long as the wraps have a week on their use by date
You leave them in your bag & you’ve got an emergency lunch for whenever you need it
