What do you eat for lunch when you're at work?

I always bring my lunch. Occasionally, I will get sushi if I want to eat out, but that is rare.
I take a salad (spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, shredded cheese today). I also bring gluten free rice with vegetables and pasta sometimes.

i usually try to make either extra for dinner and then bring it for lunch the next day or else i'll usually bring a sandwhich and a greek yogurt and a fiber bar. otherwise if i dont do either of those then i bring the frozen meals so i know how many calories im eating and such, like the smart ones or lean cuisines.

Leftovers, salad fixings with grilled chicken, fajita tacos, and sometimes I pick up veggie soup from a restaurant down the street - 160 calories and sooo good. Occasionally get Subway as well since both are closeby.

Typically either a salad with 3 oz. of some sort of protein on top, or salad with a half sandwich on the side, or leftovers from the night before if there are any. i just buy salad things, bread and lunchmeat and bring them at the beginning of the week, then if i have leftovers to break up the monotony i put them in tupperware and bring them. at the end of the week i bring home whatever salad stuff is left and use it up over the weekend. that way my catholic guilt over wasting food is satisfied, and i am also encouraged to eat all the leafy greens i'm supposed to. any leftover sandwich things are guaranteed to get eaten by the family.

Generally the leftovers from dinner the night before. I intentionally make extra so I have them for lunch(es).

For all-natural, quick and filling lunches, I make a large pot of this vegetable soup recipe on Sunday. It lasts me a week (about 2 cups per serving).

Ingredients:
* 1 1/2 cups cabbage, chopped
* 2 large carrots, chopped
* 1 large onion, chopped
* 2 large celery stalks with leaves, chopped
* 1 15-oz. can of crushed tomatoes
* 1 14-oz. can fat-free chicken broth
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 1/4 teaspoon pepper
* 1/2 tsp. garlic powder (optional)

Directions: Heat stove on high. Combine all of the ingredients in a pot. Cook pot until soup boils. Turn the heat to low (or "Simmer" if you have it on your stove) and let the soup simmer (stirring occasionally) for one hour.

I also have a probiotic (usually all-natural Greek yogurt) and a serving of baby carrots (3 oz. or about 7 baby carrots) and one baby cucumber (only 10 calories) with one tablespoon of low-cal. dressing.

On Sundays when I am doing laundry and watching football, I make chicken tenderloins on my George Foreman grill with Rosemary and Garlic Powder for the week; I weigh chicken in 4 oz. increments and put in snack sized baggies. Then, each night while I am making dinner for the kids and me, I cut up my veggies (usually cucmbers, celery or romaine lettuce) and either I cut an apple, peel an orange or peel a grapefruit. I put them in ziplock baggies and take to work with me everyday.

On a side note, I leave early enough for work in the mornings that I usually eat breakfast at my desk...I usually put a Weight Watcher's cheese stick and a fruit in the lunch bag and every morning before I leave for work, I scramble 2 eggs and put them on a paper plate covered in foil and eat after I get to work.

Works out well since I am already up making dinner to make my sides each night for the next days breakfast and lunch.

My regular lunches consist of a Healthy Choice meal, low fat string cheese, low fat yogurt, and an apple.

I occasionally will treat myself to Subway, but I usually stick to that. It's quick and easy for only a 1/2 hour lunch.

I work long shifts so have little time to prepare food, I usually just throw some meat and salad in to a deli wrap, grab a yoghurt and a piece of fruit and then also carry a can of low cal soup as an 'emergency' lunch food in case I get really hungry so that I don't resort to one of the fast food places outside of my office. It's certainly not the healthiest or most nutritious but it works with my lifestyle!

I'm lucky we have a convection oven here so I'll generally do up a tuna wrap or toast it with a little whipped cream cheese. Otherwise lately it's been salads or sandwiches from QT. I need to shop!

If you have the time and people don't flip out, you can do up tilapia, lemon juice and feta cheese in the microwave for a tasty lunch too.

keeping wraps, lettuce,and chicken on hand makes for easy lunches. I prefer a warm meal so i'll cook a breast of chicken and slice them in strips then have wraps for 2 lunches. i'll add what ever i feel like having that day... maybe salsa, caesar dressing, cucumbers, peppers, or other veggies.

I also bring in Progresso soups, whole wheat sandwich/turkey/tomato, salads (I throw everything I got in the fridge in a bowl) and put any dressings I would use in a container alone and take my fork and dip it in while I eat my salad, I keep lots of fruit, almonds, and trisquits near my desk. I also keep tea bags and have a cup of hot tea when I get hungry before my mealtime!

I make a big pot of soup on the sundays and freeze it in individual sizes. They are great for lunches - if you have a microwave.
I always plan the day before what to take. I'm too rushed in the morning, and this way it fits in with my meal plan and I know I'm eating balanced all day.

today i had a healthy choice portabella marsala pasta frozen thing, a cup of brussel sprouts and a cup of pineapple.

Sorry about the double post. Site is sloooowwww today.
