I need Lunch Ideas...

  • For this week. I don't want to do salads or frozen stuff. I was thinking of sandwitches because I'll eat outside this week. What do you think??
  • I know you don't want to do frozen stuff, but I have been taking stuffed peppers, soup, stew, chili, or quinoa balls that I cook, portion and freeze on weekends. They're frozen, but they're 100% homemade and frozen by me.

    In the morning I just add my meal of choice to the snacks that I pack at night (one fruit serving, and one vegetable with dip) and I can grab and go.

    Salads, wraps, tuna or chicken salad with cucumbers or tomatoes (I like it stuffed in the hollowed tomato) are great cold meals too.
  • Alternative salads such as tabouleh or couscous, or even pasta or potato salads can be options. There are plenty of healthy recipes for all of them online.
  • I recently made and enjoyed this Mediterranean Barley Salad. It can be eaten cold, but I do like it heated a little bit. I added black beans and feta cheese. Others have added chick peas or chicken for added protein. I've found barley to be incredibly filling, like holy cow I feel like my tummy will explode type filling!

    I usually do the same as Munchy and make a big batch of something to eat all week or freeze.
  • I eat leftovers for lunch alot. If I don't have anything leftover I will usually make a plowman's lunch. Cheese, bread, pickles, and fruit.
