Anyone have some ideas so I can mix it up some.. I work nights, so I take lunch and dinner with me.. Sometimes in a brown paper bag and other times in a cooler.. Any ideas for meals on the go so I won't get bored with the simple meals that I throw together for work.. Thanx ...

Do you have access to a fridge or microwave?0

I also work night and I usually pack a big salad with a serving of lean protein and cheese for my dinner and hummus with crackers and veggies as a lunch/snack. I eat lots of fruit too during my shift to help me stop the urge to snack on "bad" foods. My salads are often greek (with feta, tomatoes, red onion, peppers, cucumber with a light greek dressing mixed 1/3 white vinegar to lighten it even more) and garden with egg/cheese and a vinigrette dressing and taco salad with lean ground beef or turkey on a bed of mixed greens and some light cheese (I usually don't even need dressing). I often pack turkey pepperettes or turkey deli meat or leftover steak or pork tenderloin as a protein. I sometimes will pack a Lean Cuisine (or something similar) too if I want something hot. Sometimes I will make and portion turkey chili. I have found greek yogurt also helps to curb my appetite.
Hope this helps0 -
If you have access to a microwave and fridge at work it makes it easier. When you have the time you can make a big pot/pan of chilli/soup/casserole/whatever and then scoop single servings into freezer bags or Rubbermaid containers.0
