    I usually have a big salad and some kind of protein like a hardboiled egg, chicken or cheese.

    I batch cook on weekends and freeze lunch portions. Right now I have chicken noodle soup, turkey and black bean chili and eggplant and sweet potato curry with rice.

    I either take leftovers from the night before, an oven-baked potato to reheat with some beans/tuna, a sandwich with crisps and fruit, or today I have an enormous chicken and avocado salad with chilli mayo dressing <3

    Lunch for me tends to be a tuna salad substituting mayo with light greek yoghurt, or a pot of yoghurt topped with fruit, salad with chicken and a small portion of some kind of pulse (ie. chickpea, lentils, etc). Most commonly it would be hard or soft boiled eggs (or an egg dish) with a large side of fruit. My favourite would be shakshuka with a bowl of steamed veggies (http://toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/2010/07/summer-2010-travel-blog-shakshuka/), sometimes mopped up with crusty bread.

    Boiled cocktail shrimp that you can get in 12oz bags in the freezer section at the supermarket. Just thaw and eat. And then a piece of fruit. Quick and easy lunch at work. Lots of protein, low in fat and depending upon the fruit choice not that high in carbs.

    I rotate between wraps or sandwiches with raw veggies and big salads with chicken or tuna. Pretty basic but always does the trick.

    usually a huge garden salad with 4-6 ounces of some kind of protein and 1/2 an avocado and some fruit of some kind. A couple days per week I take a sandwich. In the winter I make more casseroles and stews and whatnot and I will take leftovers of that.

    Soup and a sandwich. I make it the night before so it's easy to grab and go!

    Leftovers from dinner

    This time of year I have lots of greens from my garden so salad is a good option. I keep dressing in my desk drawer because I'm lazy that way (Newman's own sesame ginger). I make sure I have some smart protein around: frozen grilled chicken breast & hb eggs. I take a piece of fruit and an extra one in case I'm starving in the afternoon.

    I like a can of sardine for lunch. W/ veggies

    Hummus & veggies

    greek yogurt, fruit, & melba crisps

    Today it'll be a black bean burger, with guacamole, but not on bread. Yesterday, I mixed up some canned tuna, lettuce greens chopped tiny, and sweet potato in a salad, with some ginger dressing. Saturday it was the second of 2 salmon teriyaki filets with some brown rice and sauteed veggies.

    I like variety...

    Today I had a chicken salad sandwich. The chicken had fresh basil in it and I put fresh sliced tomato on it- tasted so good! Also had a handful of cherries on the side.

    I love shrimp! I need to check into this at the supermarket.
