Your go-to lunch?

Being on a job where it's hard to get out of the office to eat, I brown bag it daily. And it's better for me. Usually fruit, a lean cut of meat, something sweet and simple.

Unless there are none, I bring leftovers. My lunches are usually 200 - 350 calories. If no leftovers, I like:

cottage cheese and tomato w black pepper
hummus and veggie or apple slices
peanut butter with carrots and celery
hummus wrap w kale, cucumbers, tomato and onion

My most frequent lunch is an Orowheat thin roll, 3 slices of turkey lunchmeat, a slice of Lucerne 2% swiss, a huge Romaine leaf folded up so it fits on the sandwich, a slice of tomato and alfalfa sprouts. It's not quite up to 300 cals, but that leaves room for a side dish or a snack like a caio bella blood orange bar =D

Dinner leftovers work for me but we don't have time to cook every night so I make sure I always have some edamame or boiled eggs made and fresh fruit and veggies cut up so I can easily take them with me. I use "ranch" made of greek yogurt and dry ranch seasoning or hummus to dip.

I also always have Amy's brand Organic burritos in the freezer just in case. Let's face it, sometimes there isn't time to cook. I work and go to school full time and have a small child. Busy is my middle name!
