Lunch Ideas

bump -- i need ideas too

I like making tuna salad sandwiches from tuna (of course. .haha), diced tomatoes, diced bell peppers a tbsp of sweet relish & a tsp yellow mustard on lite whole wheat bread. Then I usually have some cucumbers and/or grapes or other fruit or veggie as a side. But I'm interested to see what ideas everyone else has too because it's easy to get burned out on the same things.

And to answer your second question, as much as possible I try to make extra servings of dinner and take leftovers for lunch thus cutting back on my list. Or, I'll cut up leftovers of the protein (chicken, steak, etc) and put it over a salad for lunch. My breakfast and snacks are almost always the same thing.
