The workplace is often counterproductive when you want to lose weight because the same pre-packed sandwich or salad every day can leave you longing for more food. Also, you may be tempted by goodies in the vending machine or break room. Fortunately, there are some easy ways to get creative with the typical lunch options—these will surely spice up your lunch routine! Below are some recipes to help you get inspired as you pack your lunches for the workweek.
- Chicken Twister: If you are having chicken for dinner one night, make a little extra to include in this tasty, healthy wrap. Chop leftover cooked chicken (2 oz) and combine it with 2 ½ oz fat-free cheese, 1 tsp horseradish, 1 Tbl fat-free ranch dressing, 1 ½ cups total of onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. Wrap this up in a whole-wheat tortilla and you will have a zesty lunchtime treat that keeps you full all afternoon.
- Italian Mozzarella Salad: Eating healthy does not mean skimping on flavor, as you’ll soon discover when you sample this simple, vibrant salad. Mix 2 ½ oz cubes of fat-free mozzarella, ½ cup grape tomatoes, ½ cup chopped cucumber, and ½ cup red onion or scallion in a plastic container. Keep this chilled until lunchtime, and then top it with fat-free Italian dressing (under 30 cal/serving) seasoned with black pepper and oregano to taste. A sourdough or whole-wheat roll will complete this fresh meal.
- Quesadillas: You can prepare a great Quesadilla the night before work and reheat it in the microwave for a delicious treat from south of the border. Use a corn tortilla filled with 2 ½ oz fat-free cheese. Heat it in a non-stick pan and pop it in the microwave at work. Bring along a dollop of sour cream, lettuce, onion, and chopped tomato in a plastic container so that you can garnish the dish before eating.
