I'm very spoiled -- I have a fridge and microwave in my (individual) office, so I always have fruits and veggies to much. This week I had an apple, an orange, a container of blueberries, one of carrots, and a hard-boiled egg as quick small snacks. I'm following Ornish's low-animal-fat plan, so I do a lot of bean-based soups, too. Easy-peasy! Loving the ideas others have posted!

Here are some of the things I've eaten for lunch in the past couple of weeks. I pack in Tupperware and reheat/prepare as needed at lunchtime at the office:
-vegetable lasagna: 390 cals (I make a casserole each weekend and freeze individual portions in tupperware so that I have them to eat as leftovers throughout the week. I weigh and measure the ingredients as I'm cooking so that I know how much is in each serving) -big salad of spinach, chicken strips, black beans, craisins, and light ranch: 545 cals -Progresso canned lentil soup (whole can), whole wheat dinner roll: 400 cals -4 tbsp hommus, baby carrots, pita chips, yogurt: 390 cals -Amy's frozen bean & cheese burrito, apple, yogurt: 465 cals -big salad of spinach, romaine, chicken strips, feta cheese, vinaigrette dressing: 400 cals -25 roasted brussels sprouts with olive oil and paprika: 290 cals -4 oz oven roasted salmon with butter and garlic, 1 cup peas: 420 cals |

I second the leftovers idea. I just make extra at dinner time and take to work. For example I will have a large amount of stirfried veg, some brown rice and some type of protein such as tofu. I sometimes bring homemade soups or salads with quinoa. I bring snacks for my break such as baby bel lights, fruit and almonds. I find I have to be prepared or I will buy lunch out which I should not do as I am on a budget and it is difficult to eat out and have a healthy meal and I make food that tastes better anyway. :) Hope this helps. |
I love to take leftovers from dinner the night before. I do my best to make really yummy/healthy dinners (which was not easy at first since I have never been much of a cook), before we even eat I take out my trusty glad container and place my next days lunch in it so it is ready for the morning. I have found if I get everything ready the night before I don't have to stress about it the next morning.
I also always have a few trusty frozen dinners in the freezer for the days I don't have leftovers for whatever reason. I don't like to eat these to often because of the amount of sodium in them but are great in a pinch and better then running to McDonalds on my lunch break. |
This is a typical school lunch for me:
Pile of curly kale with some vegetable-quinoa dish, shaken up a bit to get tge veggies and quinoa fully incorporated into the kale :) Orrr, one of my favorites: Lots of kale, again Sweet potato, baled until soft-ish Raisins Dice up the sweet potato and toss it with the kale and raisins. I looove cold sweet potatoes! :) |
Heath is wealth.You should take healthy food. According to me in healthy lunch:
1. Green leaf salad 2. Tuna salad with greens, tomato and avocado 3. Salmon on top of greens, blanched green beans, mushrooms, and sprouts 4. Chicken with greens, cucumbers, pecans, and crumbled blue cheese 5. Steak with greens, thinly sliced red onions, green pepper, and mushrooms 6. Juices 7. Cheese |
I love my salads too especially fresh spinach. I usually take that and either throw in some tuna, almonds, some shredded cheese (not too much) with a vinagarette, and a boiled egg.
When I'm in a rush I take the Heathy Choice Steamers, they are pretty good actually so if you have a microwave it's nice and quick. |
