As a part of our new series, we are peeking inside the lunches here at Nutritional Guidance, and finding out what the Dietitian's are doing at home to make sure they are getting their needs met each day at the office.
This week, we're checking in with Meghan to see what works for her family.
"Packing lunches is definitely a family affair -- Nate and I both eat lunch at work, and we like to make sure Lucas has everything he needs! You'd think it would be tough with a toddler at home, but it's actually a great time for us to wind down in the evening and spend time as a family."
Meghan and Nate share tastes which works out great, since they can prepare larger meals to share the next day. "Last night, we had some leftover baked chicken, so we tossed it together with grapes, walnuts and mayo for a quick chicken salad. Since Nate is usually on the go during the day, sandwiches are a go-to for his lunchbox." With some cut-up melon and a bag of sun-chips, this lunch is ideal to meet Meghan's needs during the day. "It's great having the chips on the side, since they add that satisfying crunch -- I'm big on texture, and it really helps me enjoy the meal!"
As for baby Lucas? "He loves the melon since he can poke at it on his plate, and feed himself. He's not quite ready for the chicken salad sandwich yet, but he likes the chopped bits of chicken with a few crackers."
In the Moran household, lunch is a family affair, even when they aren't together.
