I am trying to prep meals for the week but I don't know what to make. What are you having for lunches this week?

A spinach salad with egg, tomatoes and cucumbers (from my garden), topped with honey Dijon and a yogurt is packed already for tomorrow. I have cauliflower fried rice, carrots and hummus, a spinach frittata and chicken fajitas all in the cards.1

On Saturday I made Fathead pizza crust (a keto recipe which is high fat and very low carb) with some tomato paste, mushrooms, salami and mozzarella. I still have two servings left so they will be lunch for the next few days.
Then I also baked some LCHF bread for toasted sandwhiches. And bought a bag of spinach and some yummy tomatoes to eat on the side of said sandwiches.2 -
Tonight's dinner leftovers of half a Pecan Pork Chop and some acorn squash I baked a few days ago is packed for lunch tomorrow. I will probably add some raspberries and blackberries.1

I usually just throw together meals for lunch, but they all pretty much revolve around chicken or fish. Depending on if I have time to make a proper meal or not, lunch can vary from something simple [tuna salad for something quick and simple] to something more extravagant but longer lasting [chicken stir fry/chicken fried rice].
Today's was the former [tuna salad with homemade mayo, spicy mustard and lemon juice on a bagel].1 -
I slow cooked chicken breasts today and shredded them. I will be using those for wraps this week for lunch.3

Leftover slow cooker chicken. Lots of protein. Highly recommend. I live by myself so I'll get six meals out of it, once tonight and one every day this week.

I eat the same basic lunch every day that I prep on Sunday's. It's 3 cups salad mix, 1 cup spinach, 1 cup arugula, 1 tbsp pepitas (or other seeds or nuts), 1 tbsp low sugar craisins, 5 oz grilled chicken, 75 grams sliced strawberries and 2 tbsp low fat poppyseed dressing. Sometimes a sprinkle of feta. I have 5 stocked in the fridge ready to go for the week. Later I snack on yogurt and blueberries and an apple with string cheese. All packed in a lunch bag with little ice packs. Breakfast and dinner have more variety, but I always know what I'm making for dinner ahead of time so I can back into my breakfast calories - usually a hard boiled egg and protein shake. All in, about 1400 calories a day.3

Each Sunday evening I prepare 3 or 4 chicken breast (this evening I grilled them), I eat one most days for lunch with a salad and a piece of fruit. I buy a large package of prepared salad mix at my grocery store to make it quick and easy. So by time I add salad dressing, for about 350 calories I have a protein filled delicious and substantial lunch to get me to late afternoon snack time!2

A cup of nonfat greek yogurt mixed with chia seeds and fruit is my go-to for a light lunch. Great macros, very filling, and delicious!0

First day restarting today but I am having a Brie, salad and chorizo sandwich! X1
-
Crispbread or black rye bread with assorted spreads (meat, fish, cheese + butter, mayo, pickles, drippings), milk, fresh fruit and raw vegetables. Porridges with butter, fresh fruit and raw vegetables (or leftovers form dinner).
You should eat what you want

I am a breakfast and lunch meal prepper. This week breakfasts are individual baked oatmeal with a banana. For lunches I made a big batch of taco meat on Sunday. Then I made little packets with meat, 1 oz. cheddar, 2 crispy taco shells, lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream and salsa. I plan on making taco salads, while DH will eat the "conventional" taco.
Last week, I made a big pot roast on Sunday with carrots and then a side of oven roasted potatoes for lunches.1 -
I usually plan lunches based on leftovers incorporating certain foods from previous nights' dinner. I do meal prep for breakfast, snacks, and dinners on the weekend.
Today: Whole wheat pasta, homemade tomato sauce, 93% lean been meatballs, parmesan cheese
Tomorrow: Trader Joe's mandarin orange chicken, brown rice, sautéed bok choy
Wednesday: Brown rice, canned tuna, Brussels sprouts
Thursday: Chicken, roasted okra, parmesan truffle potatoes
Friday: Lunch out with boyfriend

I made a big batch of lentil & eggplant chili mole recently and have been having that with some shredded cabbage, diced jalapeno peppers, and vegan cheese. I like chili for meal prepping because you can make a bunch of it and it freezes really well.1
-
The only thing I prep for the week are my grains and legumes. I make a big batch of those every Sunday for the rest of the week. When I make dinner I usually make double of whatever the protein is so I have leftovers to pair with my grains or legumes and usually bring some kind of veg like broccoli that is easy to steam in the microwave...and I usually plan on two days of sandwiches.2

Today I had 6-oz chicken stuffed with 1/8 C. mozzarella, a slice of hard salami and topped with a sprinkle of dry Italian dressing. In all honesty, it was probably more than 6-oz but I'm lifting and doing cardio later so it's for the sake of gains

Today I had 3/4 cup brown rice, 6oz skinless/boneless chicken, and brussel sprout slaw. I threw the cooked rice in a skillet with the cooked chicken and slaw and added some low sodium/low sugar smoky chipotle bbq sauce and called it a day. Super easy and yummy. Or I'll do basically the same thing with 6oz lean ground turkey or 2.5oz whole grain pasta instead of rice.
I also will mix 6oz 99% lean ground turkey with 1/4 cup rolled oats and some onions/broccoli slaw veggies and throw on the george foreman grill and have them on toasted ezekiel rolls.
Those are some of my go to lunch meal preps.

I prep my breakfast and lunch for the week. This week I'm having grapes and dry Honey Nut Cheerios. For lunch I'm doing a baked potato with butter and green onions and a side of cucumber and hummus.0

Depends. If I have leftovers from a previous dinner, I'll eat those, if not, then it's coffee with sugar and cream.
Usually I eat at my desk and walk my lunch break to burn off what I can.0 -
