Protein Packed Lunches

It’s important to eat a lunch that is high in protein.  If you find yourself getting into a lunch rut, here are some protein-rich meals you can try for a change of pace to lunch routine:

*An omelette.  If you want a lower fat version, use egg whites only (such as Egg Beaters).  Fill it up with vegetables for crunch and chunks of meat or cheese to add flavor and even more protein.

*A green salad or spinach salad that features meat, cheese, and/or eggs.  Other salad alternatives are Greek, Caesar with grilled chicken, Cobb or lean meat Chef salad.

* Leftovers from dinner.  Sliced or shredded beef or chicken can be used in sandwiches, salads, or even by itself for tasty lunch options.

* Canned chicken mixed with light mayo, celery, hard boiled eggs, and a taste of sweet relish for a high protein chicken salad.

Break out of your lunch routine and try new things to avoid lunchtime boredom.  Let your creativity flow into lunch masterpieces!
