high (calorie) noon

So one of the biggest challenges I think I'm going to face is LUNCH. Our crew at work has a bad daily habit of going out: Mexican, Japanese, diners, fast food. I admit I have NO WILL POWER; I cave everyday when they mention going. Today was a Mexican feast; I tried to modify: fewer chips and salsa, chicken nachos instead of steak, and left half on the plate. I know I won't be as successful if I eat out everyday. I'm going to start brown bagging it tomorrow. Anyone got suggestions?

  1. You could take leftovers. Or you could take a pita with some hummus in a tupperware with a bunch of yummy veggies.

  2. I second leftovers. I actually cook more than I need a lot so that I have leftovers for the next few days and to freeze in quart-sized (or gallon for family dinners) freezer bags so that I can have more later and have more available variety-and for those nights when I'm so hungry and out of it I can't put together a meal. Casseroles and soups freeze especially well...anyway, if you have leftovers often then you only have to supplement a few lunches with prepared items like healthy sandwiches and salads.
