What do you eat for lunch at work?

Question

I'm in a huge slump. I just don't know what to eat for lunch at work. I've been eating frozen meals from "Smart Ones" but I know they're not that healthy. I'm halfway through my pregnancy and I need to get it together and eat healthy. I was eating salads but they weren't that big so I was hungry like an hour later. Sometimes I'll wait to eat, then I'll eat out and I don't want to do that anymore either. Please help with ideas. Thanks!

Answer

I've been making myself quiche. You can add a bunch of veggies and some cheese with or without a crust, and you can eat it cold. Homemade cold pasta salad is lovely at this time of the year too.. Some fresh veggies and balsamic and oil!

Answer

Pb&j, yogurt, Granny Smith Apple, baby carrots, clementines...or sometimes a big spinach salad with walnuts, dried cranberries, and cheese

Answer

I bring along a ton of fresh fruit and veggies. Mainly fruit. Watermelon and pineapple is my favorite right now! I pack protein bars as a snack. I will bring a salad and light Italian dressing as it is one of the healthier options. Just try to eat as healthy as possible. I eat a bunch of small meals. As our bellies grow and grow, the space for food and our intestines gets smaller and smaller. Smaller meals will help you to not feel miserably full. I am lucky, I have been craving fruit and veggies. I don't know what I would do if I were craving the bad stuff!

Answer

I make myself a pb & j or an incrustable, goldfish, Greek yogurt, a fruit, and 2 oreos for the sweet tooth. Sometimes I may add in a string cheese if I'm feeling really hungry.

Answer

I am feeling really hungry so for lunch I pack a protein (grilled chicken, or salmon or steak), while grain rice and steamed vegetables. We have a kitchen at my work place with a microwave so I heat it up and eat away... Plus fruits for dessert and snacks or/and yogurt. I am so hungry it is being hard controlling my weight.

Answer

I usually have hummus with assorted veggies and pretzels, and/or a salad with 2 hard boiled eggs, and some fruit. Sometimes I'll bring leftovers from dinner the night before (pasta, roasted veggies, whatever.) And I always have a few snacks for throughout the morning - a pb&j sandwich on pumpernickel, greek yogurt with fresh fruit and granola, and a cheese stick.

Answer

I have a physical job so walking a lot in steel toe boots a hard hat and tools in my pockets is normal and my appetite at work is through the roof I normally have a chicken salad sandwich I used mustard instead of mayo with pickles on 45 calorie bread with chips or fruit no more than 300 cals but the protein from the chicken holds me over for about 3 hours and also drinking a ton of water helps too

Answer

I work nights and have to always bring my lunch. Usually I will make some type of casserole dish I can take for a few days or a lean cuisine.  I also bring a bunch of snacks because I need more food at work. A plus is my job has tons of snacks in the fridge.

Answer

I make wraps often at work. I usually have chicken of some kind (I bake in oven, on the grill, or in the crockpot [with onions and peppers and then shred it- kinda Mexican chicken], or even ground chicken/turkey) and bring spinach and avocado or hummus and a slice of cheese and then beat that up in a microwave and put it in a wrap. Then I have veggies of some kind on the side. It's not unusual to have some kind of wrap everyday during the week! Easy to prep in bulk and pretty quick to assemble!
