nicoleco 11 Posted April 4, 2013 i am so picky and never was huge on Protein so i struggle with what to eat daily! I am about 3 months out and i am running out of lunch ideas!!! for a while i was eating a Quest Protein Bar for lunch. but i am so sick of those things i can't do it anymore! my work doesn't have a fridge or microwave, so whatever i bring can't be heated up or kept too cold (lets be honest, ice packs only go so far). help! maybe if people posted what they eat for lunch that will spark up some ideas for me.

Shawn Morrison 71 Posted April 4, 2013 I didn't see how far out you are so not sure what you can eat yet. What about some sort of bean salad or something. It would keep cold long enough I would think. There are also things like black bean burgers. You can't really heat it up but its something. Look at allrecipes.com under their vegetarian section and you can find some good choices that still involve Protein.< /sub> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erp 2,016 Posted April 4, 2013 Low sodium Jerky, Blender Bottle and Protein Shake mix, string cheese, refried Beans, anything in aseptic or shelf stable containers like the tuna salad lunch kits, bring frozen items that you can eat thawed to cold by lunch with just an ice pack. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mariamitani 405 Posted April 4, 2013 refried Beans topped with salsa and cheese. Eat tortilla chip with it. Cheese sticks are a real good one. tuna salad. garlic lentils (Boil brown lentils in Water. In a bowl smash garlic. Add lemon to the garlic strain the lentil but leave a little water in them. mix lentil with garlic, lemon and left over water from boiling). You can eat it with Pita bread or top it over a salad. boiled eggs. Deli turkey. chicken breast. there's a lunch bag that stays cool for 10 hours its called Packit freezable lunch bag. The lunch bag is lined with gel so there's no ice packs. You fold the bag and freeze it. Google it. I'm gonna need one when I go back to school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
