Do you have any favorite healthy meals you bring to work?

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to eat healthy lately, and when I'm at home I have no problem grabbing those healthy snacks. The thing is when I'm at work I usually grab whatever is quick which is not always good for me like chips or chicken tenders or candy. Do you guys have any quick healthy meals or easily prepared meals that you bring to work?

I'd love to know!

First off, your probably going to hate it but not the way you feel.
The goal is to keep blood sugar even, not win a culinary award, right?
the basics: baked chicken, not breaded. Baked fish (same). Black beans (fiber, protien, complex carb) baked Potato ( dress it with low sugar salad dressing). Brown rice (I like the microwave cups)
Prepare meals a few days at a time and store in microwave containers so you can't make excuses not to stay on goal. Keep proportions practical for your activity level and space meals out so you get 4-5 a day to keep cravings in check.
My carbs were proportioned to 4-6 ounces when I was training 5 days a week as a physique competitor so does your body need a whole baked Potato at a time if you don't train that hard? No. That's what I mean by "practical for your activity level."
Don't count vegetables as a carb. Eat as much as you feel like. Deal with that later.
I don't want to keep making suggestions, although I could write much more. I just like the subject. I understand not everybody can commit to, or rather, would want to commit to something so different from what their used to. But you have to do something different if you want different results.

The key is to make your own lunch and bring it in, as well as bringing in your own snacks. I usually do my lunches in 2-3 day batches.

Here are some lunches that I've done:

*1lb Whole wheat / gluten free pasta, with a 1-2 jars of pasta sauce (so many varieties to pick; have fun with this). Doctor up the sauce with some herbs and some olive oil (for healthy fat). Toss the pasta with a bag of mixed salad greens. This can easily be at least 3 lunches.

*I will make my own "sandwich/salad kit". In my lunch box I would put a meat, a type of sliced cheese, a bag of romaine lettuce, and a sandwich spread (check the condiment section of the store; lots of good stuff!). Every day I go to work I would bring in a different type of bread / pita / tortilla to make a sandwich or wrap (or not bring any at all if I wanted a salad). You can easily mix up the bread, meats, cheeses, spreads, & veggies, to keep from getting bored every single day.

I like making wraps out of high-fiber, low-carb tortillas. They are really good for lots of spinach with tuna salad, chicken salad, (made with mustards or light mayo so they are low fat) or just a lot of vegetables. The high fiber helps you feel a lot more satisfied longer. Fruits and veggies are always good too. I like celery or apples with peanut butter. Especially if you use PB2. It is a powder that is made from peanuts that you add water to, it then becomes peanut butter again but has A LOT less fat and calories. It's right next to the peanut butter at the regular grocery store (I get it at walmart.) Another favorite lunch of mine is the light Progresso soups. (they have the weight watchers points on the front) They really aren't bad, and a lot of them, like the potato, are high in fiber, 6g per 1 cup serving.

I dont usually bring my meals i get them/make them at work...
I work in a marina and am good friends with the local fishermen and get fresh fish about everyday or every time they catch any lol. For lunch i usually have whatever fish theyve caught that day, either grilled or raw (depending on the fish) and a water. Simple yet filling and delicious :)

Chicken and noodle salad or brown pasta with whatever in it used to be the way. Soups were good too! I don't care about what I eat these days though.
