    Thanks for all the great suggestions. The frozen "diet" meals are just so easy for work but I know I can get more healthy options (and larger portions) if I shift to fresh foods. Just have to get all my ducks in a row to prep ahead. Uugh!

    My co-workers and I are formulating plans for this fall as we are all tired of the boring/less than healthy frozen options so your ideas are great! I'm going to move to soups and salads soon (breaking out that crock-pot for Fall) as well as some of your other great suggestions.

    The only frozen lunches I'm goign to buy going foward (once my freezer is empty) will be those steamer options. They have less sodium and the vegetables in them are so much better. I think we all have to remember that just because it is low in calories doesn't mean it is as nutrious for us as it should be. I do really well on my balancing of the big three (carbs/fat/protein)but I know my sodium needs to be decreased and my fiber increased to really improve overall.

    Grilled chicken wraps
    Left over steak wraps
    Sandwiches
    Homemade soups (WAY less sodium even compared to the low sodium kind)
    Homemade chili (once the weather cools down just a bit more)
    Snacky things like cheese and crackers with cut up veggies and fresh fruit (one of my favorites)

    Also, I prep everything the night before.

    It is really not that hard to have a better lunch than frozen meals everyday. I pack mine and DH lunch each night.
