Lunch being an important meal that provides for the day’s activity, they merit some thinking.  The two main forms of lunches can be: sandwiches and salads.  Sandwiches can be easily made by putting protein ingredients in between two slices of bread or in a wrap.  Salads can be made by putting all ingredients in a container.  Since there are many excellent sandwich ideas posted on the Internet these days, I will focus on making lunches that fall into the category of salads.

How to go about making a good lunch for yourself and /or for your loved ones?  I think it starts with the prep.  The easiest option would be to make a large portion for the dinner and use leftovers as lunch for the next day.  The main dish for dinner can be chicken, pork, beef or non- meat protein sources such as tofu, beans or eggs.  Since protein being a vital nutrient for our body, it would make sense to plan a lunch around a protein ingredient.  For lunches, I like to use chicken, pork, tofu, eggs, and canned tuna.  Beef is best served warm, so I stay away from making it a main protein for a lunch. 

Make a large meal and use it as a nutritious lunch for the next day.
