Hi Everyone, in my endeavors to overhaul my entire life one of the problems I find is keeping the nutrition interesting. My breakfast and dinners and snacks are ok but the problem is lunch. I am a 9-5 office worker and it seems my lunches are the same everyday and it gets sooooo boring. Often times what happens is I decide that my lunch sucks and I go out to get something and end up sabotaging my efforts. I am a busy mother of 3 and so time is limited. Please help!

BTW, a typical lunch would be a low cal/fat frozen prepared meal or a tuna/meat sandwich and celery with light laughing cow cheese. Sometimes I add a fruit if I am still hungry.
 
frozen dinners suck. period. the ingredients are low-grade products.

honestly, getting used to a degree of monotony is going to be required. food is fuel. sure it should taste good, but in this country we are extremely spoiled because we have TOO MANY food choices and it trains our society to demand variation in our diets.

steaming several days worth of rice in advance. change the veggies you add every day. toss in chicken breast, lean beef, fish, shrimp, etc. Using different seasonings is your savior.
 
I too am suffering from boring lunch syndrome. Since I began eating healthy, about 2 years ago, my diet has become more and more monotonous. But I've sorta become accustomed to it, since I try to only eat things that I really enjoy eating. That is why I avoid frozen dinners as much as possible...they're just not satisfying. I find myself going for tuna and canned chicken for convenience. It's fast, healthy, low fat, and high protein. I mix my tuna with light miracale whip and chopped apples for a tuna salad and eat it on romaine lettuce leaves. Sometimes I add walnuts. It's really good! And for my canned chicken I make tostadas, mixing it with onion, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Put that on a tostada with some hot sauce/avocado. It's yummers! Baked chips have also become my new best friend! :D
 
I also wouldn't mind suggestions for lunch. I don't mind the same thing over and over, I just have trouble bringing a healthy meal in that is (somewhat) convienient while also being around the budget I'm looking to spend (1-2 dollars..low I know..but times are rather tough)
 
from what i read, and i dont mean to be direct, but you need to learn to cook...frozen dinners and canned chicken...that stuff is just horrible.
