I'm an absolute robot when it comes to the food I pack for work. Every day I eat the same thing.
Breakfast: Chobani 0% (Blueberry, Strawberry, or Peach)
Lunch: Giant Mega Salad
- 100g Romaine
- 50g Baby Spinach
-100g Celery
-50g Red Onion
-100g Cucumber
-100g Carrots
-100g Tomato
-100g Roast Chicken or 1 Hard-Boiled Egg w. 2 Hard-Boiled Egg Whites
-1.5oz Ken's Lite Creamy Caesar
Snacks: Orange & Banana
It's a bit on the boring side, but the routine keeps my calories low, guarantees I get my daily fruits & veggies, and makes my shopping list so easy. Plus, I never have to worry about what to pack.0 -
i usually try to pack leftovers from dinner as well. but when i don't want that (or don't have any leftovers), i usually try a sandwich or a frozen lunch.
today i have: premade tuna packet, wheat bread, white american cheese, 12 cherry tomatoes, half an avocado and some cantaloupe.
For breakfast (same thing everyday) i have yoplait light red velvet cake yogurt and string cheese,
Snack (same thing everyday): handful of pretzels.0 -
I'm pretty basic.
1 Cup of Brown Rice
9-8 Oz of Meat
Cup or Handful of Spinach
A Banana
Then I have nuts, beef jerky that I carry with me in my bag!0 -
A fruit
A sandwich
A veggie and dip combo
And a snack of my choice under 150 calories0 -
I try to mix up my snacks I will alternate through a couple of these each day:
- Banana
- Mixed Berries
- Pineapple
- Grapefruit (my personal favorite)
- Pretzel Thins and Hummus
- Rice Cakes (Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate, White Cheddar or Caramel)
- Beef Jerky
- Granola Bar
- 90 Calorie Fiber One Brownie
- Carrots, Cucumber and Bell Pepper w/ Hummus
- String Cheese
- Crackers and Laughing Cow Cheese wedge
- Snap Peas and Dip
- Popcorn
For lunch I will take a sandwich (sandwich thin with turkey or ham, a slice of cheese and mustard) or a salad (Spring greens, chicken, feta, vinaigrette and croutons or romaine/spinach mix, chicken, olives, kidney beans, cheddar cheese and salsa) and on a rare occasion will take a Lean Cuisine or Smart One if I don't have anything else on hand.0 -
There's a guy at my office that always brings a lunchbox, but then goes out to eat.
I think he has a severed head in there or something0 -

You should steal it and eat it if it's food, take a pic and post it if it's a head...lol0 -
Quest - Cookies & Cream Bar, 1 bar
Season Brand - Jb - Skinless and Boneless Sardines In Pure Olive Oil, 4 oz
Della - Organic Brown Rice (Costco) Correct, 1/2 cup
Lamb Fillet Raw, 153 gms (No it wasn't raw - it was grilled but wanted to add macros @ raw level)0 -
My fiance is a tall skinny guy who can eat 3,000 cals a day and not gain an ounce, so I end up making him his own food. Leftovers for lunch are pretty much out of the question. He literally ate a 1600 calorie lunch yesterday. Yeah...no thanks. I usually bring two small lunches instead of a big one, keeps me occupied/full. Today I have a small turkey sandwich and a 260 cal lean quisine...butternut squash ravioli. I always pack a portion of milk for my coffee mixed with sugar free flavoring like white chocolate or vanilla. And I always pack a South Beach Diet 100 calorie smoothie, and I drink it RIGHT before I leave the office. Keeps me full and driving right past all my favorite drive thru junk food places.0

Enough 'protein" for weight lifting without gaining weight(tricky I know) . LOTS of yummy fruit, yogurt, gluten free pasta or bread (celiac) and candy or a dessert.
LOL on the strangely entertaining story about the severed head! Aren't you dying to look in there?0 -
Raisins, carrot sticks, one cookie (small), salmon sandwich (or other filling), vegetable crisps, babybel and one of those weird yoghurt drinks0

You can keep leftovers in the fridge for a few days - maybe even a week depending on what it is.
I take leftovers a lot.
A few slices of turkey or chicken (deli style) and some cheese and raw veggies (this is my go to when there are no leftovers)
soup
a salad (sometimes I make too much for supper and then take the leftover salad for lunch - easy cause it's already cut up!0 -
