Have you packed your lunch lately?


It’s not just for school kids. Packing a lunch and bringing it to work will not only save you a few bucks but it will also spare you a few extra calories.  The easiest option for packing a lunch is making a little extra dinner the night before and having the leftovers for lunch. Try packing nonperishable foods to keep at your desk in case you are a bit hungrier then you anticipated. Almonds, dried apricots, Lara bars,  peanut butter and rice cakes are all simple foods to keep at work if you need a little more to eat.  Ultimately, it prevents you from hitting the vending machine or the chocolate and/or candy that somehow makes it to every office! If you have a fridge, then your options are endless.  You can pack nonfat yogurts, fruits, veggies, low fat string cheese, hummus, and of course, your lunch most likely needs to keep cold. If you don’t have a fridge, then make sure to add ice packs and keep your lunch cold. There are couple days left this week to give it try!
