Eating lunch out daily & weight loss

[Up0n0ne]

I think as long as you're able to curb your appetite for certain foods you know are bad, you can almost eat amywhere IMO.
We love Mexican food, I used to pound down those basket of chips when we'd go eat there. Now I just don't eat them or will have a handfull and I always order the chicken soft taco's w/ grilled onions and w/o the rice and beans.
Just because you eat out doen't mean you have to eat what you normally would. And never eat untill you're stuffed, eat till full or satisfied and call it quits.
And IMO carbs before 3pm or around lunch should for the most part be burned off by 6 or so.
Just don't eat a carbed up dinner and you should be good. If we eat fast food or anywhere I'm always looking for the lowest carbs and highest protien meals.
Just have the will power not to order soft drinks, beer, chips, appetizers & chose a descent meal and enjoy it.
Just my thoughts.

IMO, having never been in that scenario:

Carry moderately 'healthy' foods like chicken/tuna salad wraps/sandwiches, that can be kept cool and not go to waste in the event that you need to meet someone for a meal. A sandwich or such with some carrots as a side is well within acceptable range, and won't spoil if kept in temp.

Other wise, look towards grilled proteins with veggies, or simple protein topped salads with dressings on the side.

Why not pack a healthy lunch in the morning and take with?

Good question... I've got several excuses... errr reasons

1.) I'm trying to be realistic, and I think I might do that for a few weeks or some days during a week but not all of the time.
2.) In the morning I have my daughter (2yr) and it is hard enough to get her fed, ready, to school, go for a run, get myself ready, and get out into the field.
3.) I never know if a customer is going to want to meet for lunch that day and/or cancel on me. So I may pack my lunch then get a lunch appointment, then waste that food. And, I may not pack a lunch because I have an appointment, then the customer cancels and I end up eating out anyway...

I am in outside sales and I'm out in my territory during lunch almost every day of the week. I struggle with knowing what/where to eat. What are my most healthy options at common places?

Breakfast is usually Wheaties or oatmeal & dinner is usually something I grill or the wife makes.

I run 3-5 days a week, usually in the morning. I really need to focus on my diet, so I'm looking for lunch ideas and any tips/tricks.
