Recipe For Making Healthy Lunches For Work?




GEORGIA ON


I'm a Fedex Express Courier who wants/needs to lose weight/eat healthy instead of hitting the local fast food joints.

Just want ideas that are quick and semi easy but are simple to make.

I hate waking the family up when I try to prepare lunch and try to keep dinner leftovers out of my tote because the heavy meals make me sluggish while working.

Thanks and thumbs up to all who answer ... just give me time to get back and read the answers.



Answer
Stuff a pita pocket with some meat (ground beef, grilled chicken, deli meat, you name it), veggies, hummus and/or mayonaise (any sauce you want, really), and kalamata olives. It takes five minutes to make and tastes delicious!

Mix a can of tuna with two tablespoons of mayonaise, two tablespoons of chopped onions, two tablespoons of chopped dill pickles, and one tablespoon of dill pickle juice. Eat the mixture on a piece of sandwich bread, on a bagel, inside a pita, with some crackers, or just by itself.

Spread some cream cheese on a tortilla, put down some lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, and turkey breast, and roll it up into a wrap sandwich.

Take two halves of a ciabatta roll, spread pesto on one half and mayonaise on the other, and fill the sandwich with grilled chicken, smoked gouda cheese, and romaine lettuce.

Take two halves of toasted white Italian bread, spread some soft goat cheese on both sides, and fill the sandwich with caramelized onions, raisins (sounds weird, but it's delicious), and arugula.
(For the caramelized onions: Take any onion (red, white, or yellow), slice it up, and being sautéing it in a pan over medium/high heat with a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of olive oil. After 10 minutes, sprinkle a teaspoon of salt and two teaspoons of sugar on the onions, and continue cooking them until they develop a deep golden brown color.)

Hope this gives you some ideas!

Low calorie, fun, good tasting, easy, at home lunch recipes?

Answer
sandiwch with whatever you like on it, chicken noodle soup (water with bits of cooked chicken, noodles and lots of chicken powder, a bit of salt and a bit of white pepper, let it cook until you get the flavour you like, keep adding chicken powder, salt and pepper if it tastes bland), eggs and toast, salad, grilled chicken breast + colslaw, basically anything you'd find on a "healthy options" menu at a restaurant.
personally, going off what i have in my fridge, i'd do a chicken sandwich.
bits of the leftover roasted chicken and lettuce with a litttttllee itty bitty bit of low fat mayo on a ciabatta bun
