I pack lunch. Today was a cheese sandwich and left over veggies & turkey from my fajitas last night. I didn’t finish my veggies and then I ate 2 fun size 3 musketeers.

I pack lunch everyday because a graduate student salary does not allow for frequent dining out. I love roasting veggies and putting them in a wrap with some hummus and tomato paste as an easy lunch.

I used to pack a lunch every day in high school, but I’m lucky that my class schedule allows me to eat at home almost every day!! I’ll probably need to rediscover my packing roots once I graduate this spring though!!

I pack lunch every. single. day. I love leftovers of any kind, veggie sandwiches, soups, wraps, a piece of fruit for every lunch, and sometimes egg toast with avocado. The worst part is remembering to do it every night. I end up running late if I wait until the morning.

hahah I love the whole picture!! too funny. I’m lucky that I work in a converted house, so we have a full kitchen! I go grocery shopping for here and keep the kitchen stocked with things for my breakfast lunches and snacks! Things always on hand, cans of tuna, oatmeal, bread, PB+jelly, soup… I could go on but I”ll stop 🙂

That picture is so awesome! You should like, blow it up, frame it and hang it on your house someplace. I like how it captures both of your careers in one shot…the doctor and the blogger. Nice.

I bring leftovers from the previous night’s dinner, usually. I also bring breakfast if I am working the opening shift. Typically oatmeal, pancakes (I freeze batches in twos so I can grab them on my way out of the house) or I bring fruit, yogurt and granola and make a yogurt bowl.

I always have granola bars, nuts and dark chocolate in my desk in case of emergencies.

I’m a waitress, so I’m always working while everyone else is eating. That’s why I usually pack a HUGE container with salad. My “gigante salads” are a running joke with many of my co-workers and acting classmates… I love my meals on the go because I can put anything and everything in the container and meet a lot of my veggie/plant-based protein needs. (Just remember to pack the dressing in a separate container to avoid sogginess). I’m off to check out The Holisitic Doctor!

I pack stuff for us when we are on the road and hummus is almost always in the mix. I also pack lunches for the boys for school.

I giggled when I saw the picture of your husband talking on the phone, walking by your lunch that is sitting on the floor. He isn’t even wondering why it’s there haha 😀

I pack a lunch and two snacks. I’ve gotten pretty good at it. Leftovers when there are any. I eat a lot of sweet potatoes – which I just nuke at work. I also do salads with either tuna or chickpeas.

I pack lunch and snacks everyday- eating out can be expensive and unhealthy! Most
days I bring leftovers from the night before, or I make soup on Sunday to have for lunch for the next
few days. Snacks include granola, fruit, and yogurt. I love having the control of meals!

I work mornings so I just eat a big breakfast and then eat lunch at home. I also bring a few nuts or a larabar in case I feel hungry in between.

I work/study about 30 minutes from my apartment. I always pack a lunch, but some days I pack lunch and dinner because I’m stuck at school until 8 or 9 PM. Today, I had yogurt, a bagel, and an apple for lunch and I have Thanksgiving leftovers for dinner. Yum!

I need to make brussel sprouts. Tonight! I try to pack my lunch everyday–if not I have to brave the high school cafeteria food-yuck!

Packing lunch can be so hard! But it is worth the money you save. Rice/bean dishes are usually my go-to bc they taste pretty good hot or cold.

Sometimes I pack my meals, like tomorrow I have class from 5-9:10 straight and then go to my sorority meeting at 9:30..I have half a meal plan but the caf is open weird times, so I’ll pack a dinner to eat in that 20 minute break.

I think I do half and half. Actually, I bring lunch more than half the time. I try to make dinners that will give me enough leftovers for lunch, but the husband hasn’t caught on that and sometimes eats what I have mentally set aside for lunch the next day 😉

I pack my lunch, as well as my vitamins. Gummy vites, that is- multi, calcium, omega 3, and b vites. I’m pretty addicted to them. At best, I’m getting a few more vitamins. At worst- expensive candy 🙂

I need to start packing my lunch more. I find myself eating silly expensive things like Clif Bars :/

It’s all about perspective. I love the last picture. Too funny.

Since the only food available within walking distance from my office is burgers, pizza, or Popeye’s chicken, I almost always pack a lunch. Often leftovers from the night before, or if I’m super organized I’ll do a bunch of cooking on Sunday and bring that for lunch all week (chili is a favourite, and I have a couple of recipes involving whole wheat couscous or quinoa salads that are great). I keep a stash at work too for the odd time that I forget my lunch or don’t plan ahead – a few cans of veggie soup, PB & whole wheat crackers, etc.

awesome ideas here! When I go into my client’s office for meetings I like to take tuna with salsa and some crackers. If I feel crazy, I’ll add a laughing cow cheese to the mix and heat it up. Always bring baby carrots and oatmeal too. I also leave all of my money at home so I don’t get tempted. Step back from the vending machine!

I have to pack lunch everyday to take to campus with me (except when I’m lazy and just opt for Subway :P). I usually pack a turkey or hummus sandwich with an apple and some carrots on the side. It gets kind of boring sometimes though!

haha I love that you were photographing in the hallway by his office. It must be fun to see your hubby all dressed up and professional like that, too. Hubba Hubba. hehe. 🙂

LOL love the photo of the Husband on the phone! I usually eat school lunches, but I realise it’d probably be more economical to pack lunch from home.

Your soup looks delicious, and like something wonderful to enjoy in the middle of the day. I pack breakfast and lunch for work, but am too scared of soup spilling on mass transit to take it. I love packing veggie-and-protein-packed casseroles so that I only need one container.

Great post! I’m going to try your Monday morning fruit stock up and the Amy’s soup. Thanks! 🙂

sunday mornings i pack 5 salads in tupperwares…grab and go all week. i also boil eggs, chop veggies like celery, carrots, broccoli, and make some chicken breasts. then each night, all i need to do is pack a fresh sandwich, and the next morning i grab salad, veg, fruit, a bar, and sammy. done and done, and its always the same…maybe a little boring, but efficient. it takes no thinking, its healthy, and easy.

I used to hate packing lunch–carrying breakfast, lunch, snacks and gym clothes on a crowded subway=not fun…but my bank account is teaching me to enjoy it. Sometimes I bring *most* of my lunch and head to the cafeteria with a coworker and grab some extra vegetables–still cheaper than buying a whole lunch!

I pack breakfast, lunch, and snacks each day. Breakfast is usually oats with fruit, lunch is leftovers from dinner (I always make 4 servings, sometimes 6 if I know there’s another night I won’t be cooking and still won’t want to buy my lunch at work the next day), and then fruit for early afternoon snack and a heavier carb/protein/fat snack (hummus, veg, cheese, crackers, nuts, PB, etc.) before I leave work to head to the gym. So I haul a laptop, gym bag, big lunch bag, and purse to and from work, but at least now it’s 3 days a week since I work from home 2 days!

Seeing this mouthwatering dishes makes me feel hungry again. I love noodles and veggies. It’s a great combination for me. Also, I’m fond of bringing my tiffin carrier. It’s a lunch saver coz I can pack soups, noodles and even my favorite juice. It’s so amazing that I can eat it also in it’s best and right temperature. Hope you can try a tiffin carrier also. =)
