I was wondering if anyone had any idea what would be a good lunch for school, work etc. I am sick of eating sandwitches. i like salads and wraps. If you had any recipes or ideas or even websites that would be great!
Answer
Healthy lunches with approximately 45 grams of carbohydrate per meal
You may be able to eat more or less carbohydrate. A registered dietitian or certified diabetes educator can help you determine how much carbohydrate is right for you.
ham sandwich on whole-wheat bread, 1 small piece fruit, cucumbers and broccoli with low-fat dip
Green salad with tuna or chicken breast, light salad dressing, 10 whole-wheat crackers, 6 ounces light yogurt
Low-fat chicken salad (see recipe below) in a whole-wheat pita pocket, ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese with 1 cup strawberries
1 cup bean soup, side salad with low-fat dressing, 5 whole-wheat crackers, 1 cup melon
Turkey wrap (made with whole-wheat tortilla, lettuce, light mayo, tomato and veggies of choice), ½ cup sugar-free pudding
1 cup tuna macaroni salad (made with tuna packed in water, whole-wheat pasta and light mayo), side salad with light salad dressing, 1 small piece fresh fruit
Spinach salad with grilled chicken breast, light salad dressing, 1 cup berries, 6 ounces light yogurt, 1 slice whole-wheat bread
Healthy frozen dinner (choose meal with about 30 grams carbohydrate and lowest sodium option too), 1 small piece fresh fruit, side salad with light dressing
1 cup whole-wheat pasta salad with chickpeas and veggies of choice (use light Italian dressing), 1 small piece fresh fruit
Asian chicken salad (grilled chicken breast, lettuce, peapods, carrots, ½ cup mandarin orange slices packed in juice, drained), low-fat sesame dressing, 1 medium whole-wheat roll
Healthy Lunches Especially Good for Kids
Peanut butter and banana sandwich on whole-wheat bread, 1 cup milk, 15 pretzels
English muffin pizza, 15 grapes, granola bar, 1 cup milk
Ham and cheese pinwheels (use 10-inch tortilla, fill with ham and cheese, roll, use toothpicks to pin edges and slice into 1-inch pinwheels), 1 apple with peanut butter for dipping, 1 cup milk
Homemade healthy âluncheableâ (ham, turkey and cheese slices, 10 wheat crackers), 1 cup strawberries, ½ cup sugar-free pudding
Turkey and cheese sandwich on whole-wheat bread, celery slices topped with peanut butter and raisins, 6 ounces yogurt, 15 pretzels
Remember, leftover dinners can make quick lunches that can be re-heated the next day. Start changing your habits today -- try this wonderful Toasted Almond Chicken Salad for lunch. Enjoy!

Answer
LUNCHES
~ Cream cheese on zucchini bread
~ Sliced turkey, roast beef, or chicken from leftovers or the deli, and cheese, whole wheat roll, condiments of your choice. Pack lettuce and/or tomatoes separately if you like them.
~ Tuna salad sandwich in pita bread
~ Take your own salad ingredients, and small container of dressing
~ Yogurt and crunchy granola for topping
~ Fruit salad of grapes, melon chunks, and berries
~ Cold pasta salad
~ Hot soup in wide mouth thermos and whole grain crackers
~ Stew in wide mouth thermos with whole wheat roll
~ Chili with whole grain crackers
~ Leftover lasagna, spaghetti, mac and cheese, or casserole in wide mouth thermos, along with a whole wheat roll
~ Leftover stir-fry with chicken
~ Mini bagel sandwiches. Try them with flavored cream cheese, sliced chicken breast, and sliced tomatoes (pack separately to prevent the sandwiches from getting soggy)
~ Wraps (I've listed a link below to recipes for them)
_______________________________________________
SNACKS
~ Make your own trail mix by combining nuts, dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, bananas, etc., mini pretzels, Chex cereal, and M & M's or Reese's Pieces, pack in zip lock bags.
~ Make some Gingerbread Caramel Corn, store in air-tight container - recipe link below
~ Veggies like baby carrots, celery sticks, broccoli florets and dip (try the Sesame Seed Dip Recipe below)
~ "Ants on a Log" - cream cheese or peanut butter on celery sticks, topped with raisins
~ "Healthy" Fudgy Brownies - Recipe link below, these have less butter than traditional ones
~ "2-Ingredient YUM YUM BROWNIE MUFFINS" - here's the recipe
PER SERVING (1 muffin): 181 calories, 3.5g fat, 357mg sodium, 37g carbs, 2g fiber, 20g sugars, 2g protein
Ingredients:
One box devil's food cake mix (about 18 ounces)
One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix the two ingredients together. The mixture will be very thick, but don't add anything else! Place batter into a 12-cup muffin pan lined with baking cups or sprayed with nonstick spray.
(I use paper liners for simplicity : )
Place pan in the oven, and bake for 20 minutes.
MAKES 12 SERVINGS
