quick and healthy lunch ideas??

I make extra of 'whatever' for dinner each night and love to take a meal in for lunch. Most meats keep in the fridge for 5 days & pasta for 3, so you don't always have to take leftovers the next day.

My favorite is to put a piece of grilled chicken, salmon or steak in a Tupperware container with some frozen veg in the morning. By the time I go to heat it up, the veg is defrosted, so it all cooks/heat well together.

Breakfast is good anytime of day so take a frozen homemade pancake with Sugar Free syrup, oatmeal or a leftover egg white omelet to ring the changes a bit.

Flatouts are wonderful and make great substitutes for flour tortillas (90 calories) if you bring in left over fajita meat and veg.

I'm also the self-professed queen of leftover salad. I've eaten turkey meatloaf salad with dripping dressing, breakfast turkey sausage and salsa salad with Mexican corn and rice, and my personal favorite homemade (tahini and oil free) hummus with Gorton's frozen lemon tilapia salad. You don't always need to use traditional dressings. Sometimes I prefer salsa, sour cream, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar or the mother of all goodness 'a runny fried egg' instead dressing.

Some combo's work, some don't. Some get you strange looks in the break room, but some instantly turn into weird low calorie favorites. Some have even caught on. A guy the other day was eating a leftover hotdog, chili and sauerkraut salad with Dijon mustard as dressing lunch. I laughed out loud when I saw it cause he's the same guy who made fun of me for eating that same thing two months before.

I normally don't have much time to eat lunch, so I usually have a sandwich on whole wheat bread with turkey, lettuce, and tomato. it's very satisfying! i also have some almonds as a side, just in case i'm still a little hungry

healthy choice really has a great selection of lunches. some of it is actually good. i recommend orange zest chicken, beef teriaki, country fried chicken, three cheese marinara, and basil chicken. they are my favs.

I wil sometimes do a big cook up on the weekends, here are some of the things I make

Other wise Tin Tuna and salmon are always good stand by's. I also try and rotate by lunches between salads and some of the things in my blog. Another thing I do is try a different ingredient in my salad for instance if I am getting bored I might try adding semi-dried tomotoes for a week.

Not sure if this link will work or not but here are some lunch ideas from South Beach

Also, this other site was just recommended to me and I've only tried one recipe so far (crab/avacodo salad) but the website looks like there are a ton of new ideas.

You can make a lot of burritos in advance, freeze them in butcher paper and a plastic bag/wrap and then pop them out and defrost/heat and eat. Pretty yummy! My husband takes them out in the morning sometimes and brings them to work.
