Hi Ida: :h24)

My work schedule is crazy :s21( Sometimes I have to eat supper three hours after I eat lunch and then there is this long gap of time before I get home from work. I would arrive home frantic and shaky :s10( Then, whatever was easily eaten - was. :h3) Now I bring a planned snack with me. Selections include a couple of cheese sticks and Mary's Gone Crackers, whole grain wrap with chicken and jicama inside, a yamcake or two or an apple with a little tub of PB.

I also have tubs in my car with selections of non parishables that I can go and retrieve if I am mandated to work 16 hours instead of 8. :s2(

Food sure beats trying to make it through the night on caffeine! :h11)

I agree with the advice to see what holds you the best regarding your foods. Breakfast for this girl is shake with almond milk, 2 scoops Restore and banana, with 2/3 cup (dry measure) oatmeal with RR store flavoring (added on the side not in the shake) - yum! :h4)
