lunch ideas in general

can you gimme some ideas for healthy lunches to bring to work? If i have ham and swiss or a turkey sandwich once more, I will throw up.

Generally when ym mom cooks, I can take leftovers but lately, i can't take most of our dinners because there either isn't any extra (sister and BIL living with us) or its not like okay to bring to the office.

I made a bean salad today.......red and white beans with onions, olive oil and oregano/salt but eh..........

Soup is awesome for lunch...just steer clear of ones with a cream base or any cheese and you're pretty much guaranteed a healthy meal. Just drink water, since it's usually high in sodium.

Try different things in salad...add grapes or oranges, a different kind of protein than you usually have, etc. Keep it interesting.

I get bored easily too, so I tend to switch it up between some of the following:

whole wheat pasta salad (I make a big bowl, lasts a few days)
chopped salad with peppers, onions, cucumbers, olives (once again- big bowl lasts a few days)
veggie burger
tuna on a wrap
if you like turkey- to change it up try turkey on a whole wheat wrap with salsa and pepperjack cheese. so good
PB&J (i use 'better'n peanut butter from Trader joe's with sugar free jelly)
bagel flats with WW cream cheese or low fat CC

yea, i went to hooters.

first of all, it was free and no one can pass up free lunch, I just had 5 boneless wings and 2 orders of celery.

my eating habits got worse since I stopped smoking ciggarettes.

i need something to curb my appetite better.

When I was watching what i ate, i would bring turkey hot dogs and use wheat bread as a bun. Yummers (until I ate too many and started hating them, of course!)

when my aunt quit she would always have lollipops on her to suck on when she got a craving...

and then when she didn't need those anymore she carried around a straw so it felt like she had something in between her fingers

now she's fine without anything!
