what does an adult pack for lunch?? (ingredients, organic, non-gmo)

[himain]

Cook food on Sundays for the week. Even if it's spaghetti with meat sauce, etc

[gentlearts]

I always took either leftovers or a Frozen Lean Cuisine. They aren't fabulous, but some of them aren't bad, assuming there's a freezer at work? You can even bring 4 on Monday, and then you're done thinking about it for the rest of the week.

Leftovers.

I make a salad we eat for 2-3days, so a serving of that.
Sandwich.

Steamed veggies.
Soup.

Really...treat it like a normal meal.

[Natsku]

I usually take a sandwich, salad or leftovers

[Naturen]

Usually it is leftovers. However, if I there aren't any leftovers, a sandwich with the vegetables in a separate container to be added. Nothing worse than a soggy sandwich.

When I go for my Vol. work, I pack a turkey sandwich with a slice of swiss cheese on a sandwich thin, a bag of carrot sticks, a protein bar, and a piece of fruit. I make sure I can store it in a fridge since I like mayo on my sammies, and bottled water to drink.

Sandwiches
Soup
Hotdogs (in a thermos)
salads
meals - lasagna, meatloaf, etc

I pack hubbys and our sons lunches. They get a main course and 2 sides plus pop for hub and thermos drink for son. They get a cloth napkin, reusable spoon/fork and tupperware to put it all in.

Tomorrow my hubby will get: Wrap, grapes, cookies, broccoli, tea and then he will get poptart for breakfast

For years, I've been eating lunch out while at work. Its a social thing, a few colleagues and I eat out and chat.

We have all decided to start bringing our lunches to work. Its not really a health issue - we usually eat healthy when out. Its also not a financial issue .... Well, i guess i shouldn't say that. We agreed to cut out eating out from 4-5 days a week to Fridays only. It just seems like its just an unnecessary expense.

Now the problem is - i haven't packed a lunch since high school! What are some good items to take? I have access to a fridge at work, so I'm sure i've got a lot of options.

I used to pack a sandwich, but I kept the tomato, lettuce and pickle in a separate container so the bread wouldn't get soggy. Some carrot and celery sticks, a piece of fruit and a cookie.

I'll almost jealous of you -- nowadays they have soft side lunch boxes that you put into the freezer and they freeze! No leaky blue ice or freezing a bottle of water to keep the lunch cold.

If you have a microwave at work, you can also pack up leftovers and take them in, too.

I take leftovers into work and microwave it as well
