Answer 2

try a pasta salad with veggies & some kind of chopped meat (ham, chicken, turkey) - filling & delicious! if you can't refrigerate it, just put an ice pack in your lunch box.

Answer 3

Spinach salad, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, low fat salad dressing, blue berries, sweet onions, cucumbers, green or red peppers. Remember green's your friend. You can even put chicken or tuna romaine wraps or put on your salad.

Remember green's your friend. It's a healthy, low in fat, and keeps your body happy. :)

Iceberg lettuce has no nutritional value and only has water.

Carrots, apples, bananas, water or caffeine-free teas, granola bites, yogurt, fat free pudding if you have a sweeter tooth.

Answer 4

Try Avocado shrimp salad, or basically any kind of salad with shrimp or chicken.

Grilled Chicken Caesar salad is good too or some yummy potato salad.

Answer 6

When I want to splurge but also stay healthy, I will grill a steak the night before (flank steak is my favorite, but london broil will work nicely) and slice it up, put it in a ziplock in the fridge and eat it over a salad the next day.  

I also find that eating some slices of good aged cheddar cheese with some apples fills me up all afternoon.

Answer 7

FRUITS. Different kinds everyday. Not just the usual apples or bananas.

Answer 8

I loved these thermos ideas, given to me by a co-worker with two picky teenagers:

-chili

-macaroni and cheese

-boiling water with two hot dogs - Ziploc a couple of buns and send along some travel packets of ketchup & mustard

my daughter also likes it when I send her a selection of crackers, several pickle slices, and cut up cheese and meats (ham, turkey, balogna, salami) for a do-it-yourself Lunchable.  I have mini-cookie cutters, so I can make the meat and cheese into fun shapes that are the perfect size to fit on the crackers.  

Answer 9

try different snacks and different drinks is a good way

Answer 10

When the weather is cold, it's nice to have baked potatoes.  Just throw some broiled veggies- onion, garlic, broccoli, etc in a bag to put on top.  Maybe a little sour cream, butter, green onion.  My mom used to bake them while we were getting ready, wrapped in aluminum foil.  Then we would put them in our pocket on the cold walk to keep our hands warm.
