Ideas for lunches on a weird schedule?
I've just been handed a weird schedule at work. I work in an Elementary School and from next week I will be working noon - 3.00 p.m. on Tuesday - Friday (previously I have worked complete days: 8.30 a.m. - 3.00 p.m. with an hour for lunch at noon. I used to take a packed lunch of sandwiches, yogurt, candy bar, fruit etc.) The thing is, it will take me probably twenty minutes to get to work (I will be walking) at 11.40 a.m. so a) there's no way I will be ready for 'lunch' at 11.00 a.m. and b) I have to have time to digest my food or else I will feel icky.
Do you have any ideas for meals/snacks for this crazy schedule? Sadly, it doesn't look like it will get any better any time soon. I've thought about having a small breakfast at say 07.30 a.m. (or earlier?) but then maybe two 'mini lunches' at 11.00 a.m. and then 3.30 p.m. I normally have dinner between 6.00 p.m. and 7.00 p.m. What kind of things would work on this schedule? I want to keep it quite healthy and as low-maintenance as possible. I MAY have opportunities for some small snacks (thinking a handful of trail mix) in between working with children.
