    new yorkers and middle eastern people

    i find it hard to bring my own lunch to work, so i sometimes buy chicken & rice/lamb & rice from one of those middle eastern food carts (new yorkers will know what im talking about)

    the lamb doesnt seem too healthy, but i feel like the chicken cant be that bad. might be high in sodium, and the rice might be overkill on carbs, but i gotta make do with what choices i have (other than that, theres chinese takeouts and delis)

    what do you guys suggest?

    Read my body builders grocery list there are plenty of protein sources you can choose from... how about a turkey sandwich or making some wraps? they are easy and portable.. maybe some hard boiled eggs will do the trick

    also if ur in such a rush you can also take MRP shakes they work quite well, but its still better to get whle foods they are more nutriouts.. dont fall into the typical american diet of eating out because its more satisfying and time dependent.. im sure you can atke 10 minutes out of ur damn day to make up something healthy it doesnt take long, and im sure as hell it dont take 20 minutes to fire up a sandwich or some rice alone.. pack some fruits, maybe a shake, a sandwich, a wrap.. keep it easy and simple

    That's really not true. Half of the workforce of NY feeds off of carts. There are a lot more kinds of food available to eaters beside "dirty water dogs" and kabobs.

    And if you haven't heard - the health dept. will shut you down and murder you with fines if you get anyone sick, and they report it to the papers.

    The carts with the longest lines usually have the best food!

    Right. And half the workforce of NY is overweight or in poor health.

    And if you haven't heard - the health dept. will shut you down and murder you with fines if you get anyone sick, and they report it to the papers.
    That's a little too late for the person who got sick.

    It may taste good, but that doesn't make it good for you.

    yea i face the same problem. some of those halall carts are actually healthier than you might think, but i wouldn't eat it every day. stick to sandwiches from delis, and some delis have their own buffet table. chinese takeouts tend to not be too good though so stay away and eat in moderation.
    I rep back. Put your # of reps for reference.

    ok now to OP...first let me say the best "gyro guy" is on 53rd and 6th next to the hilton...always at night a HUGE line...cause its the best, esp with the white sauce.

    now as for it being healthy...it def is not. the halal food taste good but not nutrtitious... if you look, the rice is just cooked with so much oil that when u eat it, theres oil left on your plate...pretty gross. the lamb has alot of protein but fat as well. best bet is to try and find a cart with some lean grilled chicken, but its hard here in nyc.

    trust me i LOVE gyro guy, but only on a weekend at 4am when it taste ridicliously good
    Here to help!

    New York Cart food is FREAKING AMAZING... ESP the LAMB!! BUTTT not on an every day basis... definetaly not, I hadnt had that in a really long time until I went to NY for my birthday and had myself a small tray... my stomach was in pain for the entire night .. my birthday night sucked..

    Anyway, its def high in sodium and fat... bad fats that white sauce is made from pure mayo.. I would definetaly suggest making your lunch the night before, your body will thank you for it given time..It doesnt take more than a few minutes to open up a can of tuna and mix in some flax seed oil and spices.. throw it in a container with some brown rice (make it in bulk when you have time and measure them out into containers) and a side salad...

    Really it is possible.. anythings possible

    Most street food is unhealthy, but I've seen some kebab guys who have open fire grills on their carts - so they don't use oil on the grill (although they may put it on the meat - haven't st there and watched them cook). Straight grilled chicken or lamb over a flame is healthy, and lots of the vendors sell fruit and stuff as well...
