    Tomorrow I'm taking 1/2 a turkey sandwich, an apple and an ounce of cheese, and some diced watermelon. I take something different every day though. Sometimes left-over dinner from the night before.

    I have taken a gallon size ziploc bag filled with lettuce and a little shredded carrots, sometimes some cabbage. In a separate bag I put cucumbers (they get lettuce soggy otherwise), in a third I put diced chicken and a low fat cheese. Small container of dressing and a great salad is ready. I dump everything in the bag and give it a few shakes to make a little dressing go a long way, I normally dump in a bowl, but have occasionally forgotten it and ate directly out of the bag :):smile:

    I don't like sandwiches for lunch, and buying everyday is too expensive, and too hard to control the calories. Instead, I freeze leftover portions of dinner and grab one from the freezer on my way out the door. I know what I'm eating, how many calories are in it, and I can nuke it from frozen in about 4 minutes in the old communal microwave.

    If you have a microwave in the office, this might work for you.

    I do the exact same thing...

    On a day off I precook food (usually chicken or lean ground beef) and leave it plain so that during the week i can put it into whatever form I want for a lunch! Like a quick taco salad or wrap or even just with rice and corn! YUM
