Does anyone have any ideas about healthy lunch I can pack for my lunches while at work. I have been taking a sandwich with light bologna and luttuce; but that is just getting old now and want something different.

What are some things that you pack for your lunch?

    Sorry, new here and figuring out how to post. I like to bring leftovers but one of my favorite lunches is soup ( I particularly like the Kroger chunky soups) and raw carrots with hummus. I also like to take deli turkey or a piece of swiss cheese and wrap it with lettuce, throw in pickles and lettuce.

    I will pack a can of albacore tuna, salmon, turkey breast or a chicken breast with a salad or sweet potatoes. Maybe some brown rice.
    I also pack a snack of almonds, grapes, an apple, a yogurt, etc.

    I am in the same boat you are in! Lol... I'm on a budget so I find it hard to find things for me to take to work for lunch that are healthy and not too expensive. I get tired of the frozen dinners and cup of noodles and I'm not really a big bread fan and get tired of sandwiches. Decisions, decisions.....

    are there any soups that are LOW in sodium (besides homemade), I like "soup at hand" but I was told they are not all that good for you? Any feedback?

    I'm anxious to hear some others' good ideas, but here's my current rotation:
    - Tuna on crackers with an apple
    - Soup with crackers (I kind of love Saltines)
    - Boca Spicy Chicken Patty on one of those thin bun things (I put a Laughing Cow cheese wedge and some hot sauce on there too), carrots with hummus
    - Leftovers if I'm lucky

    Good luck!

    If you have a fridge and microwave you can do a lot of different things. I usually alternate between soup, sandwiches, chicken and veggies, salads and sometimes the occassional smart one.

    I do a low carb tortilla stuffed with lean roast beef, spicy mustard, red pepper strips and spinach. Add a fruit, some nuts or edamame, and a serving of cheese and I'm set for the day. I spread all of this out throughout a 6 - 8 hour period.

    I cook on the weekends, portion everything off, and freeze meals (some freeze better than others). I get my recipes from CookingLight.com and they are healthy and taste amazing. Not big on soup and sandwiches, salads or traditional TV dinners. I eat foods that I like and have a variety to choose from throughout the week.
