I've only recently started packing a lunch for work. Up until I started trying to lose weight, it was far easier for me to go to the store and buy whatever to eat (whatever usually resulted in something bad).
I try now to eat something that I've made, so I know what's in it and I know how many calories are in it. I like a filling lunch, because I find that I get really hungry around 3-3:30pm; with a bigger lunch, this usually becomes less of a problem.
I just wanted to know what people like to pack for lunches.
My favourite, for about the past month, has been a spicy ranch salad:
- your basic garden salad with whatever you want in it (I make a HUGE amount of salad. HUGE)
- 1 tablespoon of fat free ranch dressing
- Frank's Red Hot Sauce (I tend to be EXTREMELY liberal with this. I'm a big fan of spice!)
- 2 tablespoons of salsa
- I like to add soy meatballs that have been cut up. It makes it like a taco salad, plus the protein helps get me through the afternoon.
Then I usually have something sweet to go with it, like a 100 cal chocolate bar or something. You've got to treat yourself, right?
As much as I like this salad, I know if I have it every day it's going to get boring. Any delicious lunch suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!
