What do you eat for lunch at work?

I was going to post the same question. I'm bored with my packed lunches and want to stay low sodium, so many frozen meals aren't good. Any ideas would be helpful. I'm currently doing celery w PB, hummus and pita, string cheese and a piece of fruit.

Leftovers from fabulous low-cal dinners. That way you always know the nutritional counts. I always make extra portions to freeze as lunches. Works for us.

Big salad and I add a can of tuna or chicken to it. Boring but easy. If I'm lazy I will buy some salmon sushi.

So i go through phases ... i'll be good and make healthy sandwhiches/salads/fruit for lunch and then i'll get into pre-packaged Smart One's type meal mode.

I am currently in pre-packaged mode :yawn:

So let's here what you all eat for lunch at work so i can get some ideas and jump start my healthy make your own lunch mode again! Also, i'm not a left over person so that's not really an option for me since when i cook the night before or make something i make just enough for that moment in time.

Thanks everyone for the ideas!! :drinker:

Sometimes I take leftovers from dinner last night, eg. today I had chicken curry

Other times I might get a fresh bread roll, some ham and salad and make a sandwich.

It might be a good idea to cook up a big pot of something you like and take it to work if you have a microwave you can heat it up.
It should be something you'd be happy to have every day I like to do chilli con carne and bring that for lunch.

Homemade tuna is always good. You control what you put in it

I love lettuce wraps with deli turkey & tomato, or lettuce with tuna little mayo, homemade Cobb salads, steamed vegies, leftovers to name a few.

On the weekends I will cook a few chicken breasts. Then I chop them up and add them to a container that can be frozen then microwaved. I usually add veggies and starch like rice or noodles. Then I add different sauces like marinara, teriyaki, sriacha, or whatever sounds good. I pop them in the freezer and then on the workdays I bring them in. I pop the top and toss them in the microwave for 2 minutes or so. I bring these and a container of veggies and a cut up apple. It's like a Lean Cuisine without being a Lean Cuisine. (not that I won't grab a mac n cheese Smart One when I'm in a hurry) :laugh:

I always pack a lunch...Actually my girlfriend does..LOL..Mostly healthy choice dinners, protein bar and a yogurt. I'll purchase a fiber bar out of the vending machine a few times a week. I still drink a can of coke with my lunch..

Just started today and took the easy way out by eating a Lean Cusisne

600 cal bag of steamed edamame (don't be hating on soy), precooked frozen meats and canned veggies.

Sometimes I'll pop a can of salmon and some veggies.

Love the already shelled edamame beans from WalMart. Makes a great meal and they are good for you.

I've been heating a ham and cheese wrap with lettuce and green onion with a few sun chips.... OH and a mandarin orange.

I don't mind eating the same thing over and over right now heh.

Usually leftovers from last nights dinner.. if any.. or no may egg salad (simple hard boiled egg, garlic, pepper, red onion, avocado) on healthy bread... or i'l throw together a salad. Umm.. i'm pretty boring for lunch. that's all i do. Or if I cooked ham or something recently i'll slap that on bread with avocado and tomato or salsa.

I have been taking my left over low cal dinners. Tomorrow I will have caprese chicken (chicken breast topped with fresh mozzarella cheese, basil, and a tomato and a side salad. If my meals don't yield any left overs I have healthy choice frozen lunches with a side salad or some veggies. I opt for left overs if possible because I know frozen foods contain a lot of sodium and aren't all that nutritious.

Most days I make a green smoothie in the morning to take to work for lunch. I spend my lunch hour walking in the park and then go back to work and drink the smoothie at my desk.
I try to save my calories for dinner because I tend to be a late night snacker.
On days when I got out to lunch with co-workers I get a salad with oil and vinegar dressing on the side, sometimes with chicken.

I pack a lunch every day. Mostly leftover from the previous night's dinner, but will sometimes make tacos, salad, vegetarian faux meat with veggies, or a veggie burger with a can of veggies (I'm a vegetarian).
