What did you make for your lunch today? Were you at home? At work? On the go?
Today I had taco salad.
•mixed veggies and lettuce •lean ground beef •low fat mozzarella •salsa and plain Greek yogurt.
Looking for more easy ideas that I can pack along for my week :)

    I made a wrap with multigrain flax seed flat bread, grilled chicken, fennel, provolone, red and green bell peppers. Zap in microwave to melt cheese. It is yummy!

    Ham and beans soup . Trying to get lots of fiber. I made a big pot and froze individual bags of it.

    Lettuce or spinach thrown in smoothies are where I usually get my finer :) don't even taste it :) more nutritional value than beans! But awesome goal !

    I was home. I heated up some left over steak from last night and added to arugula, parmesan cheese and balsamic dressing.

    I typically eat leftovers or make salads with chicken that I've cooked ahead (think chef, cobb, blt etc).

    I took some leftover chicken and lentils and a clementine to work for lunch. I made a big pot this weekend and have been eating it ever since.

    Today I've got a salad made of baby kale, raw carrots, green peppers with some anchovies on top. I love anchovies. Plus an orange for after.

    Yesterday I had a similar salad but with sliced cold beef instead of fish.

    I'm pretty good at making sure I have a healthy lunch prepared for work. It's just all the rubbish I eat the rest of the time that's the problem!

    Tuna creations (ranch) mixed with smashed avocado (1/3 c.)... Eaten with crunchy tortilla chips leftover from the super bowl. :) also, sugar snap peas and cherry tomatoes. I drive to appointments all day for my job, so I often eat I my car. I stash some microwave soups at work for emergencies--for when I don't have lunch and I don't want to hit a drive thru. :)

    Two cups of kale and two eggs, cooked at home, then chilled and topped with one half avocado. Will eat cold (cooked greens digest better for me - and cold egg out of the shell is SO much neater to eat than a hard boiled egg :)). 308 calories: 16 carb, 22 fat, 17 protein.

    I know, lots of fat, but it's working for me.
