I suck at figuring out lunches and usually resort to eating a PBJ or eating out. What do you all do for lunches? I need easy, cheap, and yummy!

    Chicken. Cook ahead on the weekend, bring it in through he week, or just on Monday if you have space in your fridge.

    Leftovers for the win! Sometimes I make things for dinner just because they taste better the next day.

    roast a bunch of cubed potatoes with your choice of spice for the week to make salad

    spinach leaves
    alfalfa sprouts
    chopped tomato
    1/4 avocado
    15g mixed nuts
    140-200g cubed potato
    your choice of dressing, I go for mustard.

    thats like 5-6 serves of vegetables + good fat.

    380cals ish.

    you might want to take an active roll in your health, its pretty easy to put together healthy meals, and you benefit directly.

    just sayin.

    2 Laughing Cow "Creamy Swiss" cheese wedges, with a serving of whole wheat crackers and an apple; also, I make a whole dozen of hard boiled eggs on Sunday and use them as easy-to-carry protein. You can add them to salads, veg sandwiches or eat solo. good luck!

    one of my favorite lunches that I prepare on the weekend and keep in the fridge is curried lentils:

    cook 1 cup of lentils, add spinach, carrots, a can of tomatos, broccoli, scallions, some soy sauce, ginger, cinnamon, 1-2 tablespoons of curry - let simmer for a while - voila!
