Lunch for Work

I am a High school teacher and I bring my lunch to work each day. Right now I am eating a pasta salad that is about 500 cal/serving. I like the ability to make food for the entire week so I dont have to worry about making my lunch each morning.

Does any one have any similar recipes that might add some variety, or a good place to find easy lunches that I can make ahead of time for the entire week?

I woudl love something a little lower in calories so I can have more snacks during the day.

Thanks!

    Tomorrow's lunch: reheated dinner at about 200 calories. A portobello cap stuffed with 1/2 C risotto with a sprinkle of blue cheese on top. Filling, yummy, and reheats well. Plus the other teachers get jealous!

    Homemade Pizza!
    Chicken and Rice with some cheese on top! (Just careful how you prepare the chicken, and try brown rice)
    PB&J (my fave!!)
    Salads
    OH and check out Pampered Chef website, they have recipes that provide calories and most of them are REALLY good leftovers! I usually make like two or three on Sunday night and then the hubby and I have something all week. :tongue:

    Try Mexican rice, black beans and chicken with a bit of salsa on top. Just a few crushed tortilla chips for crunch. That's filling. You could try making your own Mexican rice, with brown rice for more nutritional value.
