But if your pre comp for a show, sandwichs are a no no due to being a processed food. |

I definitly respect what your saying though, maybe it is capable, and clearly my goals are what everyones goals are, so I should definitly look into it. Thanks. |

Thats exactly what I would do....carried a seperate bag around with me. Kept some natty pb, fish oil caps, all my meals, some forks. If I didn't feel like carrying it I had another locker I would store all my food in...as I needed it I would excuse myself from class and go eat it real fast. It doesn't take me more then 5 minutes to really eat an entire meal and if its a shake then thats less then a minute.

Thats 3 of my 6 "meals" a day. However at my job I'm a delivery man so I'm up and down out of my truck all day long and trudging through snow banks this time of year, abit of energy is being spent on a 11hr day. And still in the last 3 months (thats how long I've incorporated more than 2 meals a day) I've gained about 11lbs and lost just shy of 2" off my waist. Sandwiches are great for me anyway especially when you got to drive all over gods country.

I know there is so much emphasis on wheat bread and natty PB but after the last few months of gaining weight and measuring my waist monthly and watching it decrease my thoughts are it can't be that bad, granted its not healthy I totaly agree but I'm convinced its not as detrimental as its talked about on here. Ofcourse now that I've posted this my march 1st measurements will have my waist growing an inch!

that's another story. I used to get nice warm loaves at the grocery store and it them plain.

It takes you only five minutes to eat a full meal? Damn. I am the slowest eater there is. It takes me probably 30-40 minutes to complete a meal. |

I do kno that if its whole grain its good LOL...much better choice then white or WW.
