Eating on the go: Part 1

I spend a day or two each week on meetings in London, which means a bit of planning and preparation is required. Many an accidental pretzel has occurred at the station (who knew they were 400 calories?!) so I now know to be organised in advance.

On the train, my go-to brekkie is an americano (with a splash of milk), a Babybel Light, a Liberte yoghurt and an apple. All items are small enough to fit in my bag and, although it's a challenge not to squish the yoghurt, I really appreciate not then having to lug a lunchbox around with me all day. Apart from the spoon, everything gets dumped in the bin!

For lunch, I can't recommend Itsu enough. Rice and fish are free on EE, so you have lots of options. Do bear in mind that sushi rice is sweetened a little, so it's best to factor in a few syns to make sure you keep on plan. Yesterday I had the Teriyaki Salmon with Rice and Edamame, and it was delicious.

I don't use the extra sauce provided - it's very tasty already.

The main thing is to keep well hydrated. When I'm at a desk I regularly have tea, coffee and lots of water; but when dashing between meetings its easy to forget.
