fueledbymike Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 So I'm student teaching this semester and am bored of eating sandwiches for lunch. I need some suggestions for new things to eat for lunch, so what do you guys typically eat/got any ideas for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest markovianprocess Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 You could get a Bento Box. That seems like a good way to shake up your lunch! http://justbento.com/ http://www.airandangels.com/bentobox/intro.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dietrich Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hummus! Does your school have a microwave? Just get a whole bunch of freezer food, thats what I do. And sometimes lunchables. Are you student teaching in normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthemjfan23 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 best thing to do is just start making an extra portion of whatever you had for dinner, then bring the leftovers to work. food is cheaper if you buy in bulk, so you'll be saving money AND eating better. win/win.

rtw88 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'm usually too lazy to pack lunch before I go to work, but I like pita and hummus and apples and peanut butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommytumult Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 You could get a Bento Box. That seems like a good way to shake up your lunch!http://justbento.com/ http://www.airandangels.com/bentobox/intro.html I've got one of those bento deals, the thermal one. It's good if you adapt your meals to it and use it correctly. You can get a good sized lunch in one, too. and it stays pretty warm in the container if you put the warm stuff in the bottom containers. I usually have some soup in the bottom, a rice or pasta entree(without tomatoes, so they don't get stained) in the next and some fruit or chex or a bagel from the upper containers.

brentoage Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 i kind of just snack all day instead of eating 1 meal around lunch. i like to have some variation of a healthy sandwich (chicken, turkey, mushroom) at some point, plus various types of fruit, a handful or two of mixed nuts (no salt), sliced veggies (different types of peppers, broccoli, cucumber, celery, etc.), a litre or two of water, and sometimes, a bit of chocolate. oh, and likely a coffee at some point during the day. i have removed soda and refined sugar from my diet completely and it feels great.

booyahachieved Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I try to eat things that are loaded with fiber and lean protein (ingrained into my brain after doing the South Beach Diet). Each week I'll whip up a huge batch of black bean chicken chili, chicken lentil stew, a chipotle seasoned chili or this turkey chick pea cilantro dish that I found online. Whatever I can't eat goes in the freezer. It's a nice way to avoid eating processed foods and preservatives. Although I should probably be eating more fruit. That's my Achilles heal for sure.

travis Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I like getting out of the office for a bit so I always go out. Usually its either Chic Fil A, In N Out, Rubios, Baja Fresh, Flame Broiler... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
