  15. What is in your lunch box?

    Bluehair replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    Simple carbs (aka sugary goodness) make me low energy in about 2 hours and often more hungry then too. I try to stick to things like protein drink, small handful of almonds with half a cut up apple,...
