| Any ideas on healthier lunches that I can pack for work? I would love to have some idea so that I will stop buying lunch at work every day and so I will not end up eating crap being it is easier.

I usually have boiled veggies (cauliflower & broccoli) with Knorr/Lipton "SideKicks" Rice and a 0% fat Yoplait "Source" Yogurt.

| I buy pre-packaged salads and add chopped chicken breast! So yummy! I buy a brand from Safeway called "Eating Right" and they come with various "healthy additions", like Italian Medley has packets of sundried tomatos and shredded mozzarella, there is a type with frosted almonds and dried cranberries, etc. The night before I cook chicken breast in the oven, wait for it to cool down, chop it up, add to the salad in a tupperware container and take it to work the next day. Add some calorie-wise salad dressing and VOILA! Really tasty too, and you'll find you dont get the mid-afternoon "Carb Crash". Bring baby carrots and a cheese-string to snack on too. If you get sick of the chicken, I will sometimes add imitation crab meat as well. I've gotten everyone in the office doing the same thing!

| I take Gardennay soups for lunch. They are yummy! Along with yogurt, fruit/veggies, and granola bars for snacks. Oh! And AllBran bars or bites are really goot broken up into the yogurt.

great post... i am the worse lunch packer in the world. I usually end up with leftovers that i really don't want, or bring a pile of crap. Nights shifts are really bad!! Thats when the 3 am pop and chips come out. I never wonder why a lot of nurses are big... we eat when time allows and when get time... HOLY do we ever eat!

Oh, I don't miss nights. Used to eat french fries and chicken wings at 4am.  I usually try to make a little extra dinner if it's something I enjoy and portion it out (so it doesn't get eaten up if DH goes for seconds). I'm a HUGE soup fan (esp Gardennay). I also love my divided container - I bring all the filling for a pita/wrap/sandwich (some kind of protein - chicken, pork, beef; veggies; a piece of cheese) and warm up the protein so it melts the cheese. The best part about the divided container is that if I can make it the night before and the sandwich doesn't get soggy. For the afternoon crash I go for yogurt mixed with fruit (make my own apple/rhubarb/whatever is available sauce or just a handful of mixed berries that thaw through the day) and homemade granola. BIG fan of this as you control everything that goes in it. Hope that helps!

| Salad! Then fruit for snacks. Be careful with the canned soups (and other canned good) b/c the sodium content is very high in most of them.
