Those of you who have f2f'ed my husband recently must have noticed that he has been shrinking, width-wise. Yes, he, too, has changed his way of eating and is dieting. Just after the doctor sent him off to the dietician for instructions, we had a friend over for Shabbat who gave us the best advice possible. He told me that it was my job to prepare all of my husband's food.
So, now, I have to provide my husband with his "food for the day," so he's never tempted to buy a pizza or pig-out on cakes, cookies etc. When he leaves early in the morning, for about twelve or more hours, I send him with a yogurt, two fruits and two "diet" sandwiches. When he gets home, he has a full dinner of protein, vegetables, starch and salad.
The sandwiches can be filled with things as simple as avocado or even peanut butter. But sometimes I get creative, like this morning. I mashed up a hard-boiled egg with a spoon of sesame paste and a spoon of "grilled" eggplant from a jar. This is much better than using mayonnaise. It's healthier and tastier. I then wrapped the sandwiches separately in clear plastic.
All this takes no more than a few minutes.
My meals to go are more complicated, because I don't eat bread/carbohydrates.
