Gerber Graduates

I have found something that helps me not to overeat.  I have 2 neices under the age of 3.  I watch them from time to time, and I always have that curiosity as to how their food tastes.  My oldest neice was eating a Gerber Graduate meal (Creamy chicken with vegetables-entree).  So I took a bite, and it's not bad.  I have recently purchased some and use those for lunch.  Just a little salt and pepper and it tastes good.  Plus its a very small portion.  I usually can't finish and entire entree.  They are $1.88 at Walmart.  Just thought some of you might be interested in it, in case you are having a hard time trying to find things that are quick and easy to cook for lunch at work. 

BTW, I take the entree out of the box that it comes in before I go to the cafeteria so no one knows that I am eating "baby" food.

Also, I save the plastic containers that the entree comes in because I use it for measuring my food. 

That's an excellent idea!  I've never tried the Graduates, but Gerber has some pretty tasty baby food desserts (Gerber Organic 2nd foods in Pear/Wild Blueberry is a tasty 50 calorie treat when you're in the mood for a little something sweet).  Hey, I say, whatever works! 

That is an awesome idea!! I never thought of those!! Thank you for sharing!!

What an awesome idea, especially hanging onto the lil containers! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if those little puff things would be good with the band? I would snack on them all the time with my daughter & they are rather tasty also. I'll have to try them out once I get past the begininning stages.

ONE WEEK OUT TODAY! YAY!

I was recently thinking about trying these because my kids love them! I have them on hand for when we have a babysitter so she doesn't have to cook, maybe one I move onto more solid foods I'll snitch a meal from the kids and try it!

Tammy O.  Its funny you mention the puffs, I ate some for breakfast.  I like the Strawberry Apple ones.  They have just enough sweetness for me.  I also buy the little Chef boyardee lunch bowls.  I like the Rice with Chicken and Vegetables.  The smallest that it comes in is 7.25 oz, which is more than I can eat.  I usually don't find them at the grocery store, I usually have to go to Wal-Mart to find them. 

my nutritionist does caution me on getting baby food because she said a lot of them are not low fat choices as babies need the fat and higher calories.  just something to think about.
