charmy Great Healthy Lunch ideas
Eating healthy is a goal many of us strive for and while we should all try to eat healthy at every meal. Oddly enough, because its difficult to prepare for and easily skipped, lunch is the most important meal. It seems that the busier a person is, the harder it seems to be to fit any kind of lunch into their schedule, let alone a healthy one. All to often we finds ourselves packing our lunches with very little planning. It’s just easier to grab lunch on the go. But what that lunch ends up being a less healthy choice.
What we need to do to ensure healthier lunch choices is to pack a healthy lunch ahead of time with some consideration paid to the following. Because storage conditions are an issue for many of us at work or in school, try packing fresh fruits or vegetables that do not spoil at room temperature. Whole apples, bananas, carrot and celery sticks are great choices. Peanut butter on whole or multi-grain bread or spread onto celery is great for your daily allowance of protein and it won’t spoil like deli meats. Cereal or granola bars make great healthy dessert options. Need to wash it all down? Pack water, fruit juices or milk.
If you’re lucky enough to have access to a refrigerator and/or microwave at lunch time, your options open up considerably. A good choice with no prep time needed is Yogurt or cottage cheese. You can also try preparing a salad ahead of time with your favorite vegetables and you can even add cooked chicken or eggs. Do you prefer a good hot lunch? Well how about a nice bowl or cup or ready to microwave soups. Watching those calories? Try to drink water with your lunch, this is a great way to feel full without adding calories. Other great healthy lunch ideas are deli meats and cheeses served on multi-grain crackers with pretzels, rather than chips. You can even try steamed vegetables and whole grain rice or pasta.
We all understand that fro most of us, lunch needs to be quick, but we have to remember, skipping lunch or stopping by the closest fast food place is simply not a healthy option. You really do not need to give up eating healthy if you plan ahead and make smarter, healthier choices for your meals. Besides, healthy lunch ideas will save you time, money and increase your quality of life. So, try and implement these and other healthy lunch ideas today.

FYI THAT TUNA SANDWITCH IS NOT HEALTHY AT ALL, scratch all the extra stuff and just a dab of mayo is healthy in a way. If you want to go lighter you would just have the tuna haha.

If you can feel degrated just by being made fun of, you must be a spineless jellyfish of a person. it was a joke, Im mexican wanna call me a wetback Im not going to cry get over yourself, before I really degrade you. I bet people used to steal you lunch money too?
Does it feel good trying to degrade another person? You reap what you sow.

meant to say the portion sizes are good for weightloss for her hieght and the dishes look great..keep it up.
Hey..shes loosing the weight and her portion sizes and she is balancing the food groups so she will loose the weight with combo of working out.
“Forget that Atkins bullcrap you need carbs!”(lol)..Hell ya all those no carb diets are extreme and thats where all the yoyo dieters flock too..I need bread but just in moderation. I use the fist size rule of thumb for portions..good job. And u can eat mayo hell I still eat B&J icecream(lol) but I only have a few tablespoons a day.
people are supposed to take advice about nutrition from a fat person?
I really want to make this now, but I have no light mayonaisse, only the fattening one, so i can’t…
Yumm i love tuna with lettuce
you need to eat carb to lose carb
better than a cheeseburger but far from healthy
congradulations on the weight loss
what video should I watch to see how you lost all this weight?
Love your videos…
this may sound crazy but if you really want to watch the fat intake you can use non fat yogurt instead of mayo…sounds nasty but it it taste just as good to me…
Keep posting the meal videos..NM
i’ll try girl
wow…you should do some more DIY videos
Under 200!!!! Wow! I am so proud of your girl! Dang thats a lot of water in your fridge! I hate water so I have to force myself to drink it (unless I’m workin’ out). That’s the prettiest looking toast I’ve ever seen! lol I think thats what I’ll fix for lunch tomorrow!

Girl..You are doing good,But I MUST defend Good ole Atkins.EVERY time I am on Atkins I lose a pound a day.And most people who have not read the book think that Atkins is just bacon and burgers…NO..No.
I eat PLENTY of veggies on Atkins and Low starch fruits.High protein diets also keep the skin from sagging when losing large amounts of weight.I have nothing against carbs,but they do make me crave sugary junk-so I stay AWAY from them except natural,God made carbs like veggies and fruits.
Congratulations! I love V-8. I used to loathe them, but now I find them to be very filling and satisfying.
Cherry Coke ZERO is the Jank!
