All portable, clean, not smelly, not loud foods to bother others, and can sit out for a few hours without a fridge. Definitely make sure you have and fill a large water bottle before class! In a pinch, I'd make sure I have some Larabars and a canned shake in my purse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-ideas-for-long-workschool-days#post-2283440 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 18:05:48 +0000 jhd 2283440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fruit, veggies and hummus, cheese and crackers, peanut butter crackers, mini bagels and cream cheese, nuts, and Greek yogurt were all snacks I ate a lot of while pregnant. I did much better with snacks than big meals. And make sure you have plenty of water and other drinks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-ideas-for-long-workschool-days#post-2283364 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:50:49 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2283364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fall semester is starting next week and I am dreading these VERY long Tuesdays and long Thursdays ahead of me. </p> <p>Tuesdays I’m going to go to work straight from 8-3, then will go to one class that is 4-6:45, and another that is 7-8:15. Yes, yikes. Luckily I don’t work Wednesdays so I can take that day to “rest”!</p> <p>Thursdays I'll work 9-5:30 and then I have the 7-8:15pm class again.</p> <p>I’ll just have reached 12 wks/second tri, so I know/hope my energy will be back somewhat. Oh and I have a 2 yr-old too. But better now than third trimester, and definitely better now than when I have LO2.</p> <p>So I need ideas for meals when I’m doing these long days! What would you bring as dinner/snacks? </p>
