What's for lunch? (meal prep)

Basilin

I am trying to prep meals for the week but I don't know what to make. What are you having for lunches this week?

A spinach salad with egg, tomatoes and cucumbers (from my garden), topped with honey Dijon and a yogurt is packed already for tomorrow. I have cauliflower fried rice, carrots and hummus, a spinach frittata and chicken fajitas all in the cards.

On Saturday I made Fathead pizza crust (a keto recipe which is high fat and very low carb) with some tomato paste, mushrooms, salami and mozzarella. I still have two servings left so they will be lunch for the next few days.

Then I also baked some LCHF bread for toasted sandwhiches. And bought a bag of spinach and some yummy tomatoes to eat on the side of said sandwiches.

Tonight's dinner leftovers of half a Pecan Pork Chop and some acorn squash I baked a few days ago is packed for lunch tomorrow. I will probably add some raspberries and blackberries.

I usually just throw together meals for lunch, but they all pretty much revolve around chicken or fish. Depending on if I have time to make a proper meal or not, lunch can vary from something simple [tuna salad for something quick and simple] to something more extravagant but longer lasting [chicken stir fry/chicken fried rice].

Today's was the former [tuna salad with homemade mayo, spicy mustard and lemon juice on a bagel].

I slow cooked chicken breasts today and shredded them. I will be using those for wraps this week for lunch.

Leftover slow cooker chicken. Lots of protein. Highly recommend. I live by myself so I'll get six meals out of it, once tonight and one every day this week.

I eat the same basic lunch every day that I prep on Sunday's. It's 3 cups salad mix, 1 cup spinach, 1 cup arugula, 1 tbsp pepitas (or other seeds or nuts), 1 tbsp low sugar craisins, 5 oz grilled chicken, 75 grams sliced strawberries and 2 tbsp low fat poppyseed dressing. Sometimes a sprinkle of feta. I have 5 stocked in the fridge ready to go for the week. Later I snack on yogurt and blueberries and an apple with string cheese. All packed in a lunch bag with little ice packs. Breakfast and dinner have more variety, but I always know what I'm making for dinner ahead of time so I can back into my breakfast calories - usually a hard boiled egg and protein shake. All in, about 1400 calories a day.

Each Sunday evening I prepare 3 or 4 chicken breast (this evening I grilled them), I eat one most days for lunch with a salad and a piece of fruit. I buy a large package of prepared salad mix at my grocery store to make it quick and easy. So by time I add salad dressing, for about 350 calories I have a protein filled delicious and substantial lunch to get me to late afternoon snack time!

A cup of nonfat greek yogurt mixed with chia seeds and fruit is my go-to for a light lunch. Great macros, very filling, and delicious!

First day restarting today but I am having a Brie, salad and chorizo sandwich! X

kommodevaran

Crispbread or black rye bread with assorted spreads (meat, fish, cheese + butter, mayo, pickles, drippings), milk, fresh fruit and raw vegetables. Porridges with butter, fresh fruit and raw vegetables (or leftovers form dinner).

You should eat what you want

I am a breakfast and lunch meal prepper. This week breakfasts are individual baked oatmeal with a banana. For lunches I made a big batch of taco meat on Sunday. Then I made little packets with meat, 1 oz. cheddar, 2 crispy taco shells, lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream and salsa. I plan on making taco salads, while DH will eat the "conventional" taco.

Last week, I made a big pot roast on Sunday with carrots and then a side of oven roasted potatoes for lunches.

I usually plan lunches based on leftovers incorporating certain foods from previous nights' dinner. I do meal prep for breakfast, snacks, and dinners on the weekend.

Today: Whole wheat pasta, homemade tomato sauce, 93% lean been meatballs, parmesan cheese
Tomorrow: Trader Joe's mandarin orange chicken, brown rice, sautéed bok choy
Wednesday: Brown rice, canned tuna, Brussels sprouts
Thursday: Chicken, roasted okra, parmesan truffle potatoes
Friday: Lunch out with boyfriend

I made a big batch of lentil & eggplant chili mole recently and have been having that with some shredded cabbage, diced jalapeno peppers, and vegan cheese. I like chili for meal prepping because you can make a bunch of it and it freezes really well.

cwolfman13

The only thing I prep for the week are my grains and legumes. I make a big batch of those every Sunday for the rest of the week. When I make dinner I usually make double of whatever the protein is so I have leftovers to pair with my grains or legumes and usually bring some kind of veg like broccoli that is easy to steam in the microwave...and I usually plan on two days of sandwiches.

Today I had 6-oz chicken stuffed with 1/8 C. mozzarella, a slice of hard salami and topped with a sprinkle of dry Italian dressing. In all honesty, it was probably more than 6-oz but I'm lifting and doing cardio later so it's for the sake of gains

Today I had 3/4 cup brown rice, 6oz skinless/boneless chicken, and brussel sprout slaw. I threw the cooked rice in a skillet with the cooked chicken and slaw and added some low sodium/low sugar smoky chipotle bbq sauce and called it a day. Super easy and yummy. Or I'll do basically the same thing with 6oz lean ground turkey or 2.5oz whole grain pasta instead of rice.

I also will mix 6oz 99% lean ground turkey with 1/4 cup rolled oats and some onions/broccoli slaw veggies and throw on the george foreman grill and have them on toasted ezekiel rolls.

Those are some of my go to lunch meal preps.

Meat & Cheese roll-ups.
Turkey & Pepperjack (tiny bit of mustard).
Ham & cream cheese around dill pickle.

Egg salad if I need a snack later.

shinycrazy

Deli turkey cut into strips, shredded mozzarella on green salad with bolthouse yogurt ranch dressing, blackberries and strawberries and a serving of reduced fat kettle chips. Tomorrow will be the same, but will switch to salami and strawberries only.

Francl27

Leftovers.
Pancake sandwiches with an egg
Probably some ham steaks with veggies

But yeah, mostly leftovers (so probably some sausage, fish, and chicken with veggies/potato).

JShailen

Salad with iceberg lettuce, sliced red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and chilli mayonnaise.
20 grams of pumpkin seeds as a snack

pebble4321

Brown rice, salad (today it's a ready to use veg mix with shredded broccoli, beetroot, carrot), half a tin of Sirena tuna in chilli oil.

DisneyDude85

I prep my breakfast and lunch for the week. This week I'm having grapes and dry Honey Nut Cheerios. For lunch I'm doing a baked potato with butter and green onions and a side of cucumber and hummus.

WanderingRivers

Depends. If I have leftovers from a previous dinner, I'll eat those, if not, then it's coffee with sugar and cream.

Usually I eat at my desk and walk my lunch break to burn off what I can.
