Does anyone have any good meal ideas that are quick and healthy for lunch? I get sick of eating the same things all the time.

About once a week, I cook up some thin boneless skinless chicken breasts (very quick cooking and good by almost any means: skillet, broiler, oven, etc.). Sometimes I'll season each breast with different spices or even just a dab of extra virgin olive oil and some kosher salt and pepper. Then I have chicken breasts all week that are great for sandwiches (I love Ezekiel brand sprouted wheat hamburger buns for this), in whole wheat pasta, topping a salad, served with a bit of rice...pretty much anything.

Mine is pretty routine. Usually some chopped up romaine lettuce with some kind of protein (usually chicken or turkey sausages from Whole Foods or canned salmon or tuna salad, etc.). Sometimes I have cucumbers also or fennel or tomatoes. With Annie's Goddess Dressing.

Mmmm, I love making yummy healthy meals for lunch at work. Most days I have an sandwich of some kind, either egg salad, ham salad or tuna salad, a yogurt, and two pieces of fruit. Another favorite is pita pizza. You take a wholewheat pita, top it like a pizza and grill it in the oven and it makes a great lunch entree! Also if I'm in a rush I will eat from our cafeteria. I work in a hospital and we make all homemade food so sometimes I'll grab a turkey wrap and a bowl of homemade soup and maybe a chocolate milk.

I usually have a whey shake and some fruit.
