Hi everyone. I'm going back to work in a couple of weeks and was hoping for some good lunch ideas. Currently on maternity leave and am trying to lose the weight I gained back during pregnancy and the extra as well. I never used to eat at work but I'm currently breastfeeding and I know that no food is not really an option! I'm trying for cheap and quick. Any ideas would really be appreciated though! Thanks all! :)

    I usually have salad with chicken, homemade turkey burger, egg muffins, cottage cheese, cous cous, egg...you can pretty much put anything in a salad! Just chuck it all in and voila!

    Snacks, trail bar, nuts, fruit, cottage cheese, boiled egg.

    Leftovers, salads, wraps, yogurt, fresh fruit.

    Salads are great, as are sandwiches. And you can always bring dinner leftovers, too (that's what I typically do). Depending on your appetite, you may just want to bring some small, healthy snacks to munch on during the day. Greek yogurt, nuts, fruits and vegetables are good options, and they're really great at keeping your energy going throughout the day.

    Today is cottage cheese, fruit, and a veggie side.

    Soup, whole wheat crackers, fruit

    Snacky type things - hard boiled egg, string cheese, veggies & dip, fruit.

    Wraps (like a sandwich) but it changes things up with different veggies added. Wrap turkey, cheese, romaine, shredded carrot, a dill pickle spear..... and smear on dill spread (greek yogurt & dill weed).....or reduced fat cream cheese.

    Instead of just turkey.....tuna salad or egg salad

    You can do so many things with salad.....I grill up a bunch of chicken (put in ziplock sandwich bags)....have a southwest chicken salad, or an oriental chicken salad. Spinach salad with feta, strawberries, almonds & raspberry vinaigrette

    I usually bring leftovers from dinner the night before. If I don't have those, I am lucky enough to be able to cook at work so I am not much help.
