    Google the insanity meal plan that's what I'm following. It gives you a bunch of different options

    I generally try to intentionally make too much (extra portions) for dinner with the intent to bring that in for a healthy lunch some days. Also frozen leftover soups are good as well especially during the cold seasons. Otherwise for me it's usually a mixture of peppers, carrots, grapes, cottage cheese and an egg. :-P

    Leftovers from dinner. Of course that will only work if you are not also eating salad for dinner. I've never been a big fan of salad and leftovers are so much easier.

    If you can cook at lunch, quesadillas are my new favorite food! So yummy!

    I can not help I eat the same thing almost every day. Green beans, lunch meat, baked cheetos, and yogert. Sometimes thought I do mixed veggies instead of green beans. :bigsmile: I do the same thing because I know what the calories are and I can just throw this all together really fast before work.

    If you're going low carb, use a leaf of romain lettuce, add your favorite lunch meat and a slice of cheese, roll and munch. The romain gives a nice crunch and the protein from the cheese and meat will keep you full. It's kind of a salad and kind of not. ^_^

    As others have said, soup is a good alternative, especially with it getting cooler. Healthy Choice has ones that you can microzap in the cup and eat.

    Naked Juice Superfoods can be good, but they do have a lot of sugar, so be prepared to eat a healthy snack about two hours later.

    Fish and vegetables. I switch up the vegetables to keep it interesting, sometimes it's roasted veg, sometimes a caesar salad, etc.

    I feel you on doing the same thing everyday. I am the same way but I get board sometimes too. Its just to easy to do anything about it though.
