Healthy Lunches At Work
Work lunches can be difficult, particularly if you have a job where you must take a client out to eat. A great way to ensure you are getting the healthiest meal possible (instead of giving into temptation), is to look at the menu ahead of time. This does two things:
- Takes the pressure off of making the decision when you might be too hungry to choose wisely.
- Frees up time to talk to your clients instead of staring at the menu.

Healthy Lunches For Weight Loss
If you are trying to lose weight, then lunch is a great place to stick to your eating plan. You can’t go wrong when you bring food from home. It’s a great way to stay on track, track exactly what you’re eating, and know that when dinner time rolls around, you won’t be so starved that you end up going through a drive-thru.
What Are Healthy Lunches?
Healthy means different things to different people. What one person considers a healthy lunch, may be absolute junk to the person sitting next to them. Don’t judge, just focus on your own style of eating. That could mean a low-carb lunch, a vegan lunch, a gluten-free lunch, or simply a clean eating lunch. No matter your style of eating, focus on real foods you prepped or made at home with real ingredients. You can’t go too wrong with real food. Here are some ideas!

Slow Cooker Meals
Hear me out. If cooking isn’t your thing, but you can’t afford to eat out all the time and still want to eat healthy, consider the humble slow cooker. You just dump the food in and let it do all the cooking for you! Not only is this a great way to stock your freezer with future healthy meals, but it’ll cover lunch and dinner several times over.
Make a few slow cooker meals during the week, stuff leftovers in the freezer, and then alternate meals for lunch or dinner by simply thawing in a microwave or on your stovetop. It’s such an easy, hands-off way to make sure you always have a healthy lunch on hand!
