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!

    Saute tempeh with beans, tumeric, onions, and cumin.

    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!
