Thread: Healthy Packed Lunches?

C:
I can't eat at restaurants and get anything good at all. Too much salt in almost everything, to say nothing of the fats and cholesterol ..
Usually I cook a bunch of chicken breasts and salmon on Sunday and use that as the core for lunches during the week. I keep a half-gallon of soy milk, fruit and some yogurt at work for snacks. Yeah, can be a bit boring, but I sure feel better than when I eat junk.

It's definitely easy to make a big pot of soup or cook a pound of Chicken Breasts or something to make throughout the week. You make sandwiches, eat the chicken with some brown rice, add some different veggies, etc. I like the frozen steam in bag veggies for easy prep if you are short on time. Also you can make a variety of sandwiches, have some veggies and hummus, or a big salad. You can buy salad ingredients and mix and match for various meals or before dinner salads.

I think the key is really just thinking ahead before you go to the store. Kind of figure out a "game Plan" to make sure you get everything you need and have options so you don't get too bored with the menu.
