I am trying to eat food more often but I don't want the trouble of
carrying food to work. Does it make sense for me to eat protein bar
late in the afternoon?

It's better than nothing, right? But would it kill you to throw a
banana in your coat pocket? Or a box of raisins, etc.? The protein bar
and some fruit REALLY couldn't hurt.

And, hey, as long as you're planning on eating protein bars, might want
to check these guys out:

http://www.proteinbars.co.uk/

May just be cheaper for you depending where you are on the planet.

Bully, a swell guy who (he's said) has been told he looks like the new
James Bond, and, afaik, not connected to the company, used to include a
coupon, iirc, but I guess that is no more. Meh.

Anyway, best of luck with your incredible laziness and inability to
carry a lunchbox.

Seriously, I also find it "trouble" to prepare/pack a lunch, but I
purchased an Igloo "Playmate Pal Maxcold" jobby <www.igloocoolers.com>
and, tossing some frozen water bottles in there, a sandwich, a Sprite
Zero, and a granola bar is fairly simple to do. I put it together the
night before, toss it all in the fridge and set the empty lunch kettle
by the front door (to remind me to take it along).

No.

....rather than YOU being a DICK.

Say, this name calling this isn't so bad after all.

(Actually, it's a killfile experiment. Shhhhh!)

Yes, absolutely. Why would it not make sense?

Yes. But why a protein bar? I'd go for a sausage roll, a cornish pasty, a
sandwich, or something else that is actually pleasant to eat.

souvenir from the titty bar?

What's a "titty bar"? Something JMW uses to restrain his expanding man
boobs, or is that his titty bra?

Ugh! It's Monday! ;o(

As part of my regular diet I eat 2 protein bars a day. The pro-50 peanut
flavour and the pro-27 choc flavour are both "treats" Smile !!!

EXCELLENT advice.

Wrap it in bacon instead. Problem solved!
