5 Healthy Lunch Ideas

When it comes to lunch, most people either get stuck in a lunch-rut (eating the same thing every day) or they eat lunch out. Not only can eating lunch out every day bust the budget, it can also pack on the calories fast. Getting stuck in a rut is not good either, so below I’ve shared my 5 Favorite Healthy Lunch Ideas to help combat the boring lunch salad.

Change it up! Try to bring something different every day. Turn leftovers into something new. If you do end up eating out, make sure you check out our post on 10 Tips for Eating Healthy at a Restaurant.
