Work breakfasts are difficult. It needs to be something easy.  My plan is to eat complex carbs for breakfast, especially.  Being hypoglycemic, I had to do some research as to what i could eat that was not heavy on bad carbs.  My plan is to do oatmeal and berries for breakfast and purchase some Luna Bars or something to use as snacks.  I'm going to cut out counting calories and simply just diary all of my food. Lunches also are a bit difficult, because it needs to be something portable for work.  Since i usually am not that hungry for lunch at work, i figure i can try to do hummus, pita, and dried fruits. along with some fresh fruit or a small salad from the salad bar. or peanut butter sandwiches on whole wheat bread.
