Wanda247 908 Posted October 21, 2018 I make several meats and veggies on Sundays such as ground chicken or ground turkey burgers, grilled chicken thighs and I freeze them. I’ll grab one each day and may add a slice of tomatoe to a burger or avocado, chicken I’ll bring some cauliflower rice or spinach and I usually cook seafood once a week...shrimp, scallops and fish and mix it up and take that for lunch as well. I make chicken salad and tuna salad also and usually bring multi grain crackers to eat with those. I like a variety. Get creative and enjoy 😊 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AFVet 26 Posted October 22, 2018 I like the Protein packs by PLANTERS P3 and Hormel Natural Choice. Both consist of chicken, turkey or ham bites with nuts and cheese....10-15 grams of protein and what you don’t eat, you can snack on later. Here’s a picture of my lunch today...170 calories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MegPRN 204 Posted October 22, 2018 I work at a hospital, and we have a surprisingly good sushi chef on staff, so there's fresh sushi in the cafeteria grab-and-go cooler. Today I'm having a vietnamese spring roll - crab, shrimp, and avocado wrapped in lettuce and then the whole thing is wrapped in a rice wrapper. No idea the macros, but it's minimal carbs and a fair amount of Protein and healthy fat. They come 2 to a pack, so I'll eat one for lunch today and save one for tomorrow. I also got some hummus and cucumber slices for a snack later! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually it'll be left overs from the night before. I also have these lipton cup of Soup packs that are 60 calories in case i don't have something on me or change my mind with lunch, just watch the sodium. I also have the $1 pot pies from the market. they are high calorie but what i do is eat the inside and leave the crust. again these are for times i ran out the door and need a little something at work.
