@helenas_here Lunch is usually a sandwich or yogurt plus 1 fruit and 2 veggies - whatever is on sale that week at the grocery store

[Elizabeth Peters @eliabeth480]

@helenas_here I always bring a 10am and a 3pm snack in addition to lunch. Usually granola bar for the morning and something sweet (fruit snacks, fun size snickers, etc) for afternoon
