Trying to get/stay lean?

Been there, done that. Its a hard diet to stick to consistently.

Works though.

Yah, I generally like oatmeal so that will stay, but I just want to get the metabolism back up and strip off 5-7 lbs. Sitting on your ass all day reaks havoc with your body

I try to do the same. Salad with bowl of baby carrots for lunch with a small snack in between breakfast and dinner. By eating small meals in a higher frequency, your metabolism starts to burn at a consistent rate.

Oatmeal and coffee is a great breakfast. Nothing in the world will keep you regular like oatmeal and coffee, except maybe mexican food, and that is probably not as good for you.

I'm sorry if I hurt you.

On a Friday, usually around $400 dollar's worth of Mexican food. It's tricky to spend that much, but between the desk I think we manage it if we insist on the five gallon tubs of guacamole...

(anyone get the reference?)

 
shorttheworldchipotle. trini paki cart. rafiqis. fork and spoon. kati rolls. thai. whatever.

Chipotle is so good... I'd snort the medium heat salsa off a bum's ass to get to it if I had to.

RiskyBiznessMeat. I cook pounds of lean beef, salmon and chicken on sunday and keep them in a mini fridge already cut up. It freaks my coworkers out but they are soft and weak.

Emphasis for awesomeness.

^^^Real banker. +1 There is no time to eat lunch in Wall Street well at least at my firm since we are hiring but all the BB idiots we have interviewed have common sense. And we can't seem to fill the positions fast enough, has me running around like an asshole. I eat those for lunch too.

whatever + coffee in the AM...usually bagel or yogurt parfait

chipotle or subway or paninis or thai or salad +something for lunch....i try to keep it light because it makes me tired and sleepy if i have a heavy lunch

I might have a small snack such as fruits or something, then for dinner usually out with finance buddies, networking or sushi with work buddies. after works between 7 - 11 pm are very good hrs for networking and going out to meet girls or even events at musems, just general socializing. On monday itself I was at a gala @ the met thrown by rodman and renshaw, lots of foood and drinks, met tons of ceo's and finance people
