Lunchs? what do u all for lunch?

I usually eat leftovers from the night before for lunch.

Either salads or a filled roll or a ready made curry and rice. Sometimes I add fruit or yogurt.

When I was doing my best at weight loss (fat loss) I was eating soup or sandwich for lunch. Either one full bowl of soup, one big sandwich, or half of either. Make sure it's a brothy soup and not a creamy bisque or chunky chowder.

I virtually always eat leftovers for lunch.

When I'm done with dinner, I will put what is left into single-serving sized containers and then just grab those when I'm leaving for work. Sometimes I'll chop some jalapeno peppers to put on top or add a piece of frozen bread or a muffin that will be thawed out by lunch time (when I bake, I will freeze individual servings so they'll last longer), but that's it.

I'm a salad person too. I like vegetables and I habitually just throw a ton of whatever we have in a large bowl (usually lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, jalapenos, and broccoli, but anything in the vegetable drawer is fair game), add chicken or tuna or a veggie burger/crumble or smoked tofu or egg, and call it a day. I usually do a tbsp of caesar dressing with chicken, lemon and olive oil with tuna, and hot sauce with any of the vegetarian options as dressing, but straight balsamic vinegar is also pretty frequent or a lazy vinaigrette with balsamic, olive oil, and mustard. If I have the balsamic I'll throw some berries in there too if we have some fresh and a little goat cheese.

I dunno...it's easy, it tastes good, it's full of micronutrients and fibre, and it's one less thing to think about, I guess. I add oil/cheese/more protein as needed to fit my goals but other than that it's pretty much a constant rotation of the same choices all the time.

When I can cook for myself, I almost have saute spinach and mushrooms with a lean protein like chicken or a packet of tuna or salmon. I'll put the meat on crispbread crackers with some laughing cow cheese or mix it with mayo (never both).

I do the tuna/salmon packs quite often, actually, because it's quick and shelf stable and I can toss it into my lunch box. I also do a lot of soup. Progresso Light soups are a favorite, or homemade if I can make a big batch and freeze on the weekends. Egg salad is something else I make ahead and eat throughout the week, although I also eat eggs for breakfast and that can rack up the fat quickly if that's important to you.

I'll also do leftovers from dinner if we have any.

I've experimented with sandwiches on 100 calorie rolls, with some success, but not often as satisfying as I want to be.

The main thing I go for at lunch is making sure I have a protein (usually 2-3 oz), a fat (about 15-28g), two servings of veggies, and a carb l (typically bread or crackers, occasionally potato). I work full time so having easy grab-and-go things and foods I've prepped and planned for is important to me to stay on track.

Today I had 2 servings of white rice mixed with 2 servings of California blend veggies, a can of chicken and then sweet n sour sauce. With a side of sour cream n onion chips and two fun sized candy bars. Lunch is usually my biggest meal of the day

I was very excited about my lunch today. I feel like I had a ton of food, but it was still under 500 calories and I was so full. I'm not even sure what a good calorie goal for lunch is, but I plan on continuing with this lunch for at least a few days until I need a switch.

1 packet Tuna Creations lemon pepper (80c) mixed with 1 tablespoon mayo (90c)
1/2 c cottage cheese (100c)
mixed raw veggies - 5 baby carrots, 1/2 stalk celery, 2 broccoli florets, 2 sugar snap peas, 3 grape tomatoes (est 50c)
1 white cheddar rice cake (45c) - I put the tuna on this and it was oh so good!
1 serving veggie straws (130c) because I love me some chips but I wanted to be a little bit healthier (not much, I know, but it's the little things!) plus you get way more veggie straws than you do chips

I even checked to make sure I was doing well on the nutrition values and I'm still way under my daily allowance. Yay!

Mass cook boneless skinless chicken breast and/or thighs (bake or BBQ). Grill or stir fry some veggies. Portion out and combine into many meals. Can add carbs if desired (rice, sweet potato, potato, bread, etc).

Sandwiches, avocado on toast (my favourite), smoothies, leftovers from dinner the night before, toasted cheese sandwiches etc

My standard lunch which is quick and easy to prepare in advance is rice (usually brown because I like it better), salad (usually from a dry coleslaw type mix, though this week I didn't have any so added sliced baby spinach and capsicum and grated carrot) and chilli tuna (I love Sirena brand).
I don't add any dressing because the tuna is really spicy and it doesn't need anything else.

Today I'm having roasted cherry tomato and chicken pasta left over from last night. Sometimes I will have a toasted ham a cheese sandwich. Or soup and a boiled egg. Or other leftovers. Or a big salad with leaves, baked potato, cheese and ham or chicken if I have it. Tuna and avocado sandwiches on grainy bread are good, I might have them sometime soon once avos are back in season.
