Favorite quick and healthy meals for work

I'm just starting my weight loss journey. I work at job where my lunch break could be at 2pm or up until 5 pm, needing a good meal/snack ideas to either hold me over until lunch or something quick and easy to meal prep. I'm a bit picky when is comes to food, especially veggies, not a fan of zucchini and I know there's a lot of meal prep recipes that includes zucchini. I'd like to try and eat as many Whole Foods as possible. helllllp!

Lately, I've been making batches of spiced lentil, kale, and sweet potato wheat pockets. One batch makes 6 pockets and it only takes about 30 minutes if you don't make your own dough. You can also make a double batch and freeze them.

Quesadillas are also a pretty good choice, if you're strapped for time. I like the oven-baked ones since they're easy and quick. I don't have the websites, but message me and I can send you good recipes for beef or chicken ones.

Stew and soup are also good choices for meal prep and easy to customize. If you have a slow cooker, especially.

Other than that, the usual suspects: Apple slices, string cheese, protein bar/drink, popcorn, bananas. I'm also a huge fan of cucumber slices.

Good luck!

Something to snack on prior to your lunch? I wouldn't prep a meal. Maybe a protein bar or shake? I love prepackaged food, like hummus snack packs or prepeeled hard boiled eggs.

9x10 I'm having leftovers from either the night before or the night before that. My wife and I usually double down on whatever we're making for dinner in order that we have leftovers. Otherwise, I usually have a sandwich.
