Is what I struggle with the most with my daily meals. Breakfast is great, but the days I work I end up getting lazy and buying hot chips :( I need yummy healthy ideas!!!!

    Healthy Choice microwavable meals, Green Giant microwavable steamers, or bring a salad and add boca or morningstar products. Plenty of meals for around 200-300 calories available that are filling in aforementioned spread.

    How about packing yourself a nice healthy tasty salad and a pitta bread and making yourself a wrap, or maybe some home made veg soup if you have the means to warm it through, hope this helps

    wraps.
    1. lettuce, tomato, cheese, 1 egg, cucumber, carrots, lentils = 300 calories
    2. lettuce, tomato, cheese, cucumber, carrots, sprouts, hummus = 300 calories
    wraps are so easy and versatile

    Make your lunch at home the night before! :)
    You should make a hugeeeeeeeeee salad and add some fake chick'n to it. Almond butter and jelly sandwiches. Instead of chips, pack fruits and veggies. Yum yum. Sooooooo many choices!

    For a lighter lunch I like the high protein yogurt (like Chobani), fruit (raspberries are in season here) and granola on top. I get dairy, protein, and fruit all in one meal. The crunch of the granola makes it last longer and makes my mouth happy.

    I do this all the time. I warm up a spicy black bean burger, break it up into tiny pieces and sprinkle it on top of my salad w/ fat free mozzarella. It's so delish. I could eat it every day!
