Whats is your lunch box ?

Today was sloppy joes on a piece of toast, lettuce with avocado and yogurt dressing, and a pear.

I usually try to eat leftovers for lunch; they satisfy me more than cold sandwiches or pre-packaged things.

i keep lettuce, mayo, mustard, shredded rotisserie chicken or sliced chicken/turkey, and sliced cheese in the fridge at work. one of these days i want to try the mason jar salad thing, but that requires motivation on the weekends.

Breakfast - cereal, eggs, cin toast, bagel with cream cheese, lara bar
AM Snack - Fruit, yogurt
Lunch - Sandwich, leftovers, salad
PM Snack - Lara bar, fruit, yogurt, seeds/nuts, protein shake

Obviously not all in one day those are just samples of what I may have.

You can add me as a friend if you'd like my diary is open to my friends

I like constructive criticism, and positivity!

I prepack my food even though I'm at home all day because it helps me stay on track.

Sometimes it's a Greek salad with tuna and a sweet potato on the side, sometimes it's a turkey sandwich with chips and carrots, sometimes it's a stir fry. Today is stir fry with chicken, snow peas and broccoli, with some chips and salsa because I need to get rid of the chips and it's grocery day tomorrow, lol. But I stick with those three lunches a lot, unless I have tastier leftovers like tacos, then tacos win.

I cook a big pot of beans on the weekends...either black beans or pintos and they are a staple of my lunches along with 1/2 an avocado, some kind of veg and some kind of meat protein (generally whatever I grilled up the night before as I usually make extra)

I do sandwiches once or twice per week to mix things up...

Today it is soup, woke up to snow this morning :indifferent:

Normally if I am home its : 1 ww wrap (100 cals) with lunch meat of choice (this week turkey) + 2 fried or poached eggs and a side of veggies

On the go : leftovers from dinner, soup from the crockpot if possible so just need to reheat, turkey or chicken breast + hardboiled egg, apple + celery with peanut butter, garden salad, ceaser chicken salad( home made) , mixed veggies, fruit salads , turkey sammich.

Really I just love food, if im not at home its going to be something different every day

My diary is open so take a look if you'd like.

My breakfast normally consists of eggs, toast and peanut butter but I have been getting up late the past week so I am only having my toast.

My lunch is usually some kind of salad. Spinach with leftover taco beat and beans or chicken. I usually use salsa as my dressing. Sometimes depending on what I have at home I will make chicken salad to have with fruit. Mine mainly consists on what I have leftover on top of spinach!!

Look through my diary though and maybe you can get a few new ideas.

Hi! Here's today so far which is a pretty average day for me:

Breakfast at home (after 4 mile run):
Oatmeal made with 1/2 cup quick oats, 1 cup unsweetened coconut/almond milk blend, 1 tbsp or so each of raisins and brown sugar and a ton of cinnamon. Coffee with natural bliss cream. I also have a giant bottle of water with a Nuun electrolyte tab in it after running. (about 350 cals)

The rest I take to work:
Mid-morning snack: Perfectly Simple Oatmeal Chocolate Chip protein bar. I literally eat this 5 days a week. It's so good. (170 cals)

Lunch: Starkist tuna salad packet and 7 Roasted Veggie flavored Ritz crackers, 3/4 cup leftover mashed butternut squash with a little butter and cinnamon, 1/2 red bell pepper dipped in a Sabra individual hummus cup. (about 420 cals)

Mid-afternoon snack: Fage 2% strawberry greek yogurt. I might also have an apple and/or cheese as well since I'm already wanting my snack and I finished lunch an hour ago. (about 200-250 cals depending)

Dinner will probably be homemade shrimp and veggie stirfry with brown rice...and I never forget dessert!

I pack the same thing every day and just eat the food whenever I get hungry. I don't eat it all at once. I usually eat the bars and one of the apples around 9AM because I'm hungry then and then will eat the rest of it whenever "lunch" happens.

- 2 Apples ~calories depend on the size
- Yoplait Light and Fit Yogurt of some flavor ~ 90 calories
- CLif Kidz Iced Oatmeal Bar ~150 calores
- Pure Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar ~220 calories
- Morningstar Garden Veggie Patty. ~ 170 calories


Some times I change it up and switch one of the apples out of 10-15 almonds. I'll also add two peices of wheat bread and a Laughing Cow Lite Creamy Swiss wedge if I feel like making a sandwich out of the veggie burger.

1/2 cup Ranch Style Beans
3 oz beef
3 tortillas

Ya know, you can actually live off of Ranch Style Beans.

I used to actually make a dinner over the weekend, then portion it out in 5 containers that I could microwave at work. Among other things, that simplified my morning routine because my lunch was already packed.

For emergencies or weeks I didn't make a lunch over the weekend, a regular sandwich was my fall-back.

Now, I just enjoy the benefit of being close enough to home that I can go there for lunch and skip packing lunch, altogether.

Suggestion!!

Usually left overs for lunch, something light for breakfast (like a banana or pb sandwich.)

Today I brought a banana & pineapple juice for breakfast
Leftover breaded chicken with crushed up garlic filling & a handful of sweet potato fries.

Okay today was, banana, bean soup, 4 hard boiled eggs, cashews, dried apricots, spinich and cucumber salad.

Still paying for the bean soup.
