Answer:
Make homemade soup/stew. There are loads of different types so you'll never get bored. Get a book of recipes, or just make up your own:
Start with a huge pot of stock, then chop and add as many different fresh vegetables as you like. Bulk it out with grains and pulses like beans/chickpeas/barley/lentils (be careful to cook these the right way, check the packet), add some cooked meat if you like, and your favourite herbs and spices.
Then just simmer it for an hour or so. When it's ready you can either puree it (soup) or leave it in big chunks (stew).
If you make a big pot of this at the start of the week you can eat it all week, otherwise freeze it in a single-portion container… take it to work frozen and it'll be defrosted by lunch, ready for microwaving.
Cheap, super-healthy and really tasty! Happy eating.
Answer:
If you love sandwiches, use a variety of whole-grain breads, pitas, and wraps. Select lean fillings like sliced eggs, tuna fish, cheese or lean meats. Then jazz up your sandwiches with assorted greens, fresh basil, sprouts, sliced cucumbers, onions, and/or tomatoes.
But sandwiches are far from your only option when you're brown-bagging it. Last night's dinner, hard boiled eggs, vegetarian wraps, cereal — anything you enjoy at home can be packed up and eaten for lunch.
In fact, you might want to make extra food for dinner so you'll have leftovers to bring for lunch, experts recommend.
“Leftovers are the perfect food to pack and take for lunch because you can control the portions and calories in the meal to ensure it will be nutritious, filling and delicious,” says Diekman.
For example, she suggests packing the leftovers of a black bean, brown rice and salsa dinner casserole, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, into a reusable container that can be microwaved at the office. Add some carrot, celery, and pepper strips for a hearty and satisfying lunch.
To take this idea a bit further, try cooking in bulk. On the weekend, make a large pot of chili, soup, or rice and beans and freeze into individual portions that are ready to take to work in a flash.
Convenience foods can also make quick and simple lunches. Canned soups and frozen meals can be inexpensive, especially if you stock up when they're on sale, and all you’ve to do is grab one when you're running out the door. Pair these portion-controlled items with a side salad or piece of fruit to provide enough calories to keep you feeling full
Answer:
Make a tuna sandwich. Theres bread by Natures Own that’s only 40 cals a slice, and a can of tuna is 100 calories, mustards like 10, so you've got a big sandwich for 190 calories, add a side of fruit and some carrot sticks and its a big filling meal for around 300 calories
