    I always make my lunch the night before, i make sure a cook a little bit more so that there is leftovers to take to work.

    eg, Today i have 1/2 of lastnights chicken breast (she was a biggie) 1/2cup boiled sweet potato and a cup of frozen veg (i dont cook them i just throw them in out of the freezer as they will cook when i reheat if i have had say i salad the night before so there was so green veg left over)

    cut up from veg while im making a salad (eg carrots pepper, pickles etc etc) and but in a little baggy to snack on.

    boil a whole lot of eggs at the start of the week to put in there to snack on too!

    i always freeze leftovers aswell, this weekend i was home alone so i made lasagna and freezed another 2 meals out of it to grab if i havent had time to make lunch.

    My new ultra simple lunch is Trader Joe's hummus snack pack. It's $1 per pack and includes a generous serving of hummus and some pita chips. It's pretty high calorie (320 I believe,) but filling enough for a full meal when you don't have time to actually fix something. I like to add some baby carrots and/or an apple, too.

    It might sound disgusting, but if you're craving mexican food and like those Albacore or Chunk Light Tuna packets, here's something I do..

    Make a big bowl of lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, etc.. whatever you like in a salad.
    Add a pack of fish (tuna or salmon, whichever float yours boat)
    Add about 0.5 tbs - 1 tbs of mexican taco seasoning (that you'd put in ground meat)
    Add about 1/4 cup cheese
    Lastly, add about 1 - 2 tbs of salsa.

    And you've got a nice Fish Taco Salad whipped up in 5 minutes.
