    I made a Pizzadilla for lunch! Take a whole grain tortilla with your favorite pizza toppings and fold like a quesadilla and cook until golden brown on each side. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping, grapes and baby carrots!

    If I don't have any leftovers from dinner, my go to lunch is an english muffin sandwich made with Laughing Cow lite spreadable cheese and 2 oz of lunchmeat, some carrots, and another small side - yogurt, string cheese, an apple, etc. I also keep cans of Progressive soup on hand for a really easy grab and go.
    If I have time and the ingredients, I love a chicken salad sandwich made with plain Greek yogurt, diced celery and grapes with a tiny bit of garlic seasoning.

    My go to lunch is oats, berries and protein. I cook a pot of steel cut oats on the weekend. The night before work, I put a cup of frozen mixed berries in a Tupperware type lunch container, put my cooked oats on top and sprinkle with cinnamon. I take a cup of plain, greek yogurt, mix it with vanilla protein powder, put it in a separate container, and leave it all in the fridge in my lunch bag. At work I microwave my oats and berries until hot, then top with the protein-yogurt. I sometimes add a bit of chopped walnuts on top. I know this is a breakfast-y food, but I don't like eating much in the morning. This is a very filling meal that lasts me the rest of the afternoon, hunger-wise, anyway.

    Sausage and bean soup. I use chicken sausage, spinach and white beans. If I don't have white beans, I use garbanzo. I'll add mushrooms, shredded chicken, turkey meatballs, whatever I have around. If you use good quality parmesan shavings on top you can skip the parmesan rind. It adds so much more flavor if you have one though!

    This is an excellent idea for breakfast! Thanks for sharing. I've been just adding protine and peanut butter to my oats. This is a nice way to change things up!

    I'm always changing things up. I get bored with the same food fast, and with having a GF who is a chef, I'm always getting ideas. I've been on this for a little while: boneless, skinless chicken thighs in the crockpot until you can shred them with a fork, put in container. Salad: Spinach kale mix, chop up green onions then cook them down in a pan. You can wilt the spinach if you want. I don't. Then, regular salad stuff. Tomatoes, chopped pickles, olive oil, then portion out the chicken on top. Its basic, easy, minimal and hits all checkpoints.
    *I've changed over to baked chicken thighs with skin and bone. It'll change again next week.

    For breakfasts: Egg bake (eggs, bacon, cheese, jalapenos - but any combo would work). bake @ 350 x20 mins. Makes 9 squares. For me, a srvg is 2. OR hard-boiled eggs. Easy to put 2 in a baggie and grab and go. If you like you could always make like an egg salad with a tad of mayo if you have the extra calories.

    Lunches: Leftovers. I always stock lunch meat, peppers & onions, etc to make a low carb version. This past weekend I cooked out: hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken sausage, chicken. I also made a batch of broccoli salad and sauteed peppers & onions.

    Snacks: fruit, nuts, cheese, dried/dehydrated broccoli and kale chips, hummus.

    Good luck!

    A while back, I got totally sick of turkey and cheese sandwiches in particularly and sandwiches in general, so I started trying different things - salads, chili, soup, dinnery-type stuff. Now, I vary regularly, although I see I'm on a Starbucks ham & cheese panini jag.
