Lunch Ideas?



Recommended Posts

My most challenging meal of the day is lunch. I just never know what to eat. I usually eat a salad with grilled chicken breast strips, a Protein shake or leftovers from the night before(depending on what it was).

I need some healthy/budget friendly ideas. Any suggestions would help. Thanks :)

If you're on a really low carb diet it may not work for you' date=' but I tend to eat a lot of Lean Cuisines for lunch. Fast, easy, inexpensive, and gives me a variety.[/quote']

I agree! I love them but some have lots of sodium and most of them have Pasta :(

Thanks for the suggestion :)

I eat tuna most days. Lots of Protein. I keep a jar of mayo and relish in the office fridge. Sometimes I bring a boiled egg as well. Quick, easy and definitely economical! the 2.6 oz tuna package is $1.25.

Good Luck!

You can try grilled veggies and cottage cheese. With Mrs. Dash you can't really go wrong. Or miracle noodles with veggies and a little sauce. They are awesome tasting, quick to make and they have great nutrition facts. A little goes a long way for bandsters. They come in different favors which is really cool too. Good luck ???Š

Besides the best thing ever, they are Protein and veggie based noodles. The whole package is 12oz give or take and if you ate the whole thing it's only 50 cals and 2 grams of Protein. The brand I use is Pasta slim. I get the spinach kind and make a Greek yogurt& laughing cow wedge "sauce" and it's delish! It's gluten free and I think that's the trick.

I forgot to add, they are already hydrated in liquid. So it just takes a few min to warm them up. And you did them usually in the dairy section/refrigeration section

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
