What can I make for lunch at work?

I really need help… I just got a new job… I get a 15 minute break, then a 30 minute lunch break. my problem is I have no idea what to pack for lunch… im trying to lose 35lbs, so I need something healthy… Im also a vegetarian. So… I need a healthy “snack” for my 15 minute break ( I get starved and will binge during lunch if I dont eat something…) …and I also need healthy ideas for my 30 minute lunch break (something portable…preferrably something I can make at home, and eat in my car. lol)

any ideas are greatly appreciated!! I really need to lose this weight… lol ty!

Answer #1

For Your Snack Try: -fruit (apple, strawberries, orange, banana etc.) -granola bar -yogurt -nuts (ex peanuts or cashews, or you can buy mixed nuts, unsalted would be healthier) -carrot and celery sticks Try dipping fruit or veggies in peanut butter, it’s really good!

For Your Lunch: Try to stick with 1 main “meal item”, 1 veggie, 1 fruit, and 1 “snack item”

Some meal items are: sandwich, veggie terriyaki, chicken salad, soup, or tortillas Some veggie ideas are: baby carrots, sliced cucumbers, sliced peppers, sliced tomatos or cherry tomatos Some fruits are: apple, orange, raspberries, strawberries, cut-up watermelon, grapes Some snacks items are: granola bar, yogurt, a couple cookies, pudding, crackers and cheese Don’t forget to drink LOTS of water!! Use a stainless steel water bottle!! Good Luck!

Answer #2

The salads and fruits are what I would go for, and try those spray on dressings, they’re pretty good, and practically no cal. Also, to stave off hunger, a quarter cup of some kind of nuts, like almonds or walnuts, great with your salad.

Ramen noodles

Veggie wraps

Fruit cups

Mini meals

Answer #4

Boy, I could not eat those things, Guys!

I would definitely start out with garden salads on a daily basis using Vinegar and Oil dressings. Tomato, Lettuce, Green Onion, Cucumber, Dill Pickles and Cilantro. A dash of salt and a dash of pepper. That is the main lunch. For a snack, I would take a peach because they taste good and are pretty filling..Or a banana, some cherries, or a fruit salad mixture of bananas, cherries, bananas and pineapples. For a drink, I would take non-sweetened tea, or water. NO SUGAR NO STARCH
