Has anyone got any recipes I could to make low calorie/ healthy lunches.
Ideally that I can prep the night before and are easy to make
I have access to a microwave at sixth form aswell so I am able to heat things up

    Decide what healthy means and how many calories you're willing to spend on lunch.
    What is easy to make, depends on your skills and available equipment.
    You'll find recipes for anything when you google, if you know what you're looking for. Or ask for specific recipes, or recipes according to specific criteria, in the recipes section in here on MFP. Or buy a cookbook.

    This is what I just made for my own lunch--I had to sub kidney beans and curry powder because I'm out of black beans and cumin but it was just as tasty as the original usually is. Easy to made ahead and heat from a container.

    My go to's are soups, chili, stews...and dinner leftovers. Because the former are super simple to portion and freeze well and last one because I'm a single mom of 2 and someone's gotta eat the leftovers.
    I store them in pint Mason jars and reusable plastic or canning lids, freeze. I take one out and go to work, it thaws while I work and later I heat and eat.
    My go to's atm are chili, minestrone no pasta, lentil stew, homemade bean and rice burritos made in bulk and frozen.
