What do you typically eat for lunch?  Anyone have their big meal in the middle of the day?  (I've heard it's healthier then having a big meal at night...)

Actually, I hardly have anything for lunch. Perhaps some crackers or cheez-its with some juice. I have a big breakfast & big dinner. If I do have a bigger lunch- I am not hungry for dinner.

It really is healthier to eat a bigger lunch, and have a light dinner. No wonder the americans are getting bigger & bigger! I understand the Europeans have a lighter dinner & a big lunch & they are much slimmer than most americans! Thank god I do not have a weight problem- I have never been on a diet or to a gym--- just lucky I guess!

At my new job,we do not get a lunch break,unless we take it.
Most of the girls do not eat lunch, so I stopped bringing one.
I find I can do without,if I have to.
(good for my waistline!!)
My DIL in Peru said they eat a roll and coffee for breakfast there,
then a big meal in the middle of the day, then, another roll or small
meal in the evening, so I guess Americans are about the only ones who must
eat a lot throughout the day, and have food available all the time.
With all the commercials and fast food restaurants everywhere, it's
hard to escape!

I eat very light at lunch. Actually, our big meal is at night. For lunch I usually have a turkey sandwich with carrots and green beans, sometimes yogurt with fruit, or a salad. I make it habit to always have veggies with my lunch.
