Healthy Lunch Options

Meat and cheese roll ups. Whole grain tortillas with low fat cheese and some luncheon meat makes for a great lunch that you can prepare the night before and microwave the next day. My personal favorites are laughing cow cheese with roast beef (Applegate Farms is preferred), turkey with swiss cheese and ham with cheddar.

Pita Pockets. Filling a pita with sliced tomatoes, cheese and other toppings makes for a great sandwich and if you can bake it for 5 minutes it gets crispy and wonderful.

Dessert. Why not make dessert out of some sweet fruits either by themselves, cut up into a little salad or mixed in yogurt? If you're your at work and been eating healthy so far then you deserve it.

Salads. As long as you keep the dressing separate you can make your own the night before. You can add some of last night's leftover protein or use a can of tuna/salmon for an extra hardy lunch. If ordering out make sure they don't slop on a bunch of cheese and get the dressing on the side.

Sandwiches are the lunch standard. If you make the sandwich the night before you can add meat and cheese but save the lettuce, tomatoes and pickle to add them right before eating or the bread will get soggy. Add some carrot sticks, celery sticks, sliced radishes or other fruits and veggies for a crunchy and healthy replacement to chips. If ordering out, make sure that they make the sandwich to order and have them hold the cheese and mayo.

Leftovers. If you had a healthy meal last night then why not eat the leftovers for lunch?
