    I usually have tuna, salmon, or chicken with either quinoa or a sweet potato and a veg of some kind and berries or cherries for desert.

    Grilled or shredded chicken or pork over rice and black beans. Grilled peppers and onions if you'd like. Salsa, cheese, guacamole, sour cream as possible garnishes.

    Taco salad. Salmon patties on salad. Tuna or chicken salad on greens. Salad topped with egg and deli meat. (so many salad not-boring options!)

    Soup, crackers, and raw veggies or fruit.

    Breakfast for lunch: oatmeal and fruit, hard boiled egg on toast, a freezer breakfast sandwich or burrito (lots of meal prep recipes for these)

    Switch up your sandwiches: roast beef and cheddar, ham and swiss, turkey and hummus, hummus or cream cheese and veggie. These can also be wraps.

    Grilled chicken and broccoli drizzled with General Tso's or teriyaki

    Beef or turkey meatballs with marinara and spinach on a high fiber English muffin

    THESE are great ideas! :)

    Tuna made with eggs and granny Smith apples are delicious ...It tastes great with crackers or bread.

    love doing a meat with lots of veggies..for instance...Yesterday and Im having baked sweet&spicy salmon with zucchini&squash mix. I also love to make shrimp fajita bowls using shrimp, frozen bell pepper&onion mix, & brown rice or quinoa. I do eat lot of shrimp bc its cooks fast, just make sure its peeled & devained withoit the tails.

    I keep simple and easy since I pack everything the night before and don't have easy access to a microwave. I eat a sandwich (different filling every day), pickles, raw veggies, or veggie chips.

    Snacks - greek yogurt, cheese stick, fruit, tuna packet, veggies, or a protein shake. I always try to have a decent amount of protein for every snack.

    I'm old fashioned, I like my salads. Lately it's been salad greens, black olives, toms, zucs, chick peas, and either 2 hard boiled eggs or 4oz chicken.
    I have also done turkey chili, Kraft makes a great fat free cheddar that actually melts.
    Greek quinoa salad, lemon chicken soup with spaghetti squash in place of the orzo, two eggs with celery and humus on the side, turkey, quinoa, and spinach meatballs with a side of fruit, whole wheat pasta salad loaded with veggies and beans for protein.
    Good luck and have fun finding a new favorite lunch.

    Those are great ideas! I will do the deli meat on a salad for something really quick. Do you have a turkey meatball recipe you can share? Do you ever do your sandwiches in a lettuce wrap to avoid the bread?
