If you looking for a yummy vegatarian thing to eat you should try SoYeat Vegetarian Soy Bites. My sister is vegatarian so I try things all the time with her. So far this is the best vegatarian food I've tried so far. http://www.kawanfood.com/veat/index.html

Those look good. I will be making them at home since I have all the ingredients and I'm working on a $50/week budget. Seems simple enough to me.

Easy go to lunch: PB&J with banana in the middle. Easy Peasy.

I once read a book without bending the binding, then returned it.

Although I never bend bindings on paperback books (my version of OCD), I'm such a book lover than I also never return them. But, I didn't like the book, so I figured I should return it and buy one I actually wanted to add to my collection. I think this is considered a bookworm's sin...

I have a spinach salad every day for lunch topped with either brown rice and a veggie burger or half a baked sweet potato and veggie protein. Lunch for me never changes unless we're on the road.

Most pathetic thing I've ever returned were a half eaten box of "Ho-Ho's".

These look awesome! We usually put morningstar farms chicken patties on big salads, these look even better. Hoping my Costco has them when I go tomorrow!

We make a dish consisting of those patties, spaghetti squash, spaghetti sauce and parmesan cheese. Makes a great tasting vegan substitute for Chicken Parmesan.

Yup completely agree... you do not need to lose weight. You're in awesome shape. I wish I was in as good of shape. Just saying not low in fat.

I really could use some ideas for healthy lunch myself.

I have had your blog on a sticky note in my middle school guidance office for a REALLY long time. I can't even remember who told me about it. Anyway, it's Saturday morning and I finally sat down at home to look it up, and I am hooked! I've just spend 35 minutes reading random blogs on your site. Keep up the good entertainment for all of us runner wanna bees!

2012-01-28T05:55:17.984-08:00

I've been making my own hummus lately (roasted red pepper) and using Hungry Girl flatbreads for turkey sandwiches. My 2-year-old eats the hummus with a spoon, it's that good! That's my typical lunch.

@Detroit runner. My husband takes the fun out of eating, too. ;) He doesn't understand that it's almost impossible to eat low-carb, low-fat, low sugar etc if you don't like veggies. {SIGH}

2012-01-28T04:59:43.268-08:00

Those look mighty tasty to me! I have been making my own burrito bowls of late--black beans, brown rice, avocado, lettuce, some salsa, and some cheese. Quick and easy!

2012-01-27T21:06:08.091-08:00

I used to Costco a lot when all the older kids were living with us. But now I don't. I get annoyed at all the slow, impatient people getting in my impatient way. And the parking always blows big time. But when in the right mood...Costco is a ton of fun. I run and ride right past our local Costco...when I run and ride...which seems like it never happens anymore :(

2012-01-27T20:22:44.051-08:00

Interesting looking patties. I might have to try some. I'm always looking for something new.

Regarding something simple for lunch, I had a craving for cottage cheese today so bought some (low fat) and ate it along with a salad. It did the trick to help fill me up for longer and up the protein. No one else in my house eats it so I usually don't think about picking any up.

Detroit runner: have you seen me? Definitely not trying to lose weight. For me there is a lot more that goes into healtful eating than how many calories come from fat. But that is probably becasue I am not focussed on weight loss. This one is a good and relatively healthful option for me.

2012-01-27T19:44:25.921-08:00

You could not pay me enough to eat any of the guck samples handed out at Costco. The crowds of people bellying up (literally) to get their snouts into the electric fry pan get in the way of my in and out mission.

Costco is always an adventure. Finding the things you want that they keep moving around. Trying to avoid the things that are a good deal but you don't really need.

I'm sorry, but those chick pea patties fall into the "don't really need" category. In fact, they also fall into the "I threw up in my mouth a little bit" category.

My quick and healthy lunch? You know already, PB & H sandwich. Plus low fat milk and a banana after.

2012-01-27T18:40:30.104-08:00

While they look good, the way I came to lose over 65 pounds was to calculate the fat content. Perhaps I'm wrong( but don't think I am) is not to look at the grams of fat but the calories from fat. Take 50/120= about 40% fat so far from healthy. Not many fat grams does not equal low in fat. My wife says I take the fun out of eating-sorry if I did that here.

2012-01-27T17:59:55.515-08:00

I have been into the chili lime chicken burgers from trader joes on a sandwich thin + salad. They are cheap and only 150 cals to like 15g protein.

2012-01-27T16:33:16.587-08:00

The most pathetic thing I ever returned - a litter maid cat box. It was supposed to be an automatic cleaning cat toilet that was going to make my life insanely easier. At $129 back in 2002, it was a lot of money! Needless to say, it didn't pull its weight around the house. So I cleaned it up, and took it back to Walmart and told them it didn't work. (That way they wouldn't put it back on the shelf!) Since it was an open item, all I could do was exchange it. So I exchanged it for the new unopened version, drove across town to the other walmart, and returned it there for a full refund.

So… yeah. I'm going to hell too. Do not pass go, do not collect $200!

2012-01-27T16:03:26.156-08:00

If you like Veggie Patch stuff, you might also try Morning Star (similar taste/texture, slightly different options).

I also work from home, so lunch varies -- it can be something like pretzels and yoghurt and some kind of fruit -- but when I feel like actual cooking my favourite (easy!) thing to do is a really basic tofu stir-fry: cubed tofu, chopped up bell pepper and broccoli, a bit of oil, maybe some sesame seeds or spices. A side of edamame and my stomach is very happy indeed.

Those patties look good. We eat a lot of spinach salads & I got bored. Had to mix it up with some romaine.
