I am getting SO tired of healthy choice/lean cuisine/smart ones frozen dinners and turkey sandwiches for lunch :ohwell: ..... Any ideas for a healthy easily packable lunch for about 350-400 calories??

    curry chicken breast with zucchinis and to dry the sauce or if it is too spicy, add rice or a slice of bread cut into pieces

    cauliflower taboulé (replace couscous with mixed florets of cauliflauwer)

    stuffed vege with lean grounded meat

    omelettes with tons of veges (bell pepper/zucchinis/tomato/oignons/leeks...) with herbs and a green salad with light dressing

    Tomato slices with mayo and cheese on top,
    cucumber slices with goat cheese and black olives on top, throw in some pepperoni sticks for protein
    tuna, mayo, on zuccini slices
    leftovers from the night before
    chicken salad with celery and pineapple
    egg salad in lettuce leaves

    Go on Pinterest under the health and fitness board, there's tons of ideas :)

    I pack my lunch everyday and it's not usually a frozen dinner

    Sandwich (try a wrap just to be different)..... salad & a piece of fruit. Tuna or egg salad can be low fat.

    Cottage cheese, pineapple cup, and a side of veggies. I like the steamfresh bags.... yummy.

    Soup, wheat crackers, veggie side & fruit

    Salad .... with grilled chicken (grill up a bunch and portion it out in zip lock baggies). I like "asian" with mandarin oranges, snap peas, chow mein noodles, and Newman's Sesame Ginger Dressing .....

    also chicken, apple, gorgonzola cheese, nuts, and apple cider vinegrette .....

    also chicken, Spinach, strawberry, walnut with (sounds wierd) ..... Newman's orange ginger dressing.....

    also "southwest" ...chicken, 2% cheddar cheese, red pepper, tortilla chips, and Hidden Valley Chipolte Ranch dressing
