Lunch Ideas

cgoedert92

I need help with lunch ideas that aren't frozen meals. I am beyond tired of them and I know that they aren't they best for you. Please share Ideas that won't take a long time to prep.

Thanks

What type of foods to do you like? I love chicken and it's versatile. You could cook up chicken breasts/tenderloins and put them in a salad, throw them in cooked veggies (love steamable veggies), put in pasta salad, make chx salad, or put in a wrap, etc.
I would also cook a salmon filet and reheat at work with some veggies or put in a salad.
You could cook some ground beef and have fixings for tacos with or without the tortillas. Just reheat the meat.

Vague questions -> vague answers. Combine one item, any item, from each of these groups: 1) protein 2) carb 3) vegetable. And voila, you have a meal.

I take an entire box of lettuce to work, dump some tuna on it with hot sauce, maybe a wedge of laughing cow cheese or nutritional yeast and some yellow peppers and a little avocado. Nothing fancy. Fuel and go.

- Whatever you make for supper, make an extra serving to warm up at lunch the next day.
- Bagged salad is easy and healthy. Add cherry tomatoes, sliced almonds, and vinaigrette for a low cal lunch.
- Bake a potato in your microwave at work. Fresh and fast. Goes with anything.
- Grill or poach extra chicken and use for lots of things: large piece and paired with a baked potato; shredded with BBQ sauce on a tortilla, pita, or bun; chopped to top a salad; chopped for chicken salad; shredded and spiced for tacos
- Microwaved quesadilla
- Egg salad or tuna salad to put in a pita
