Tuna salad always works for a healthy lunch. Its filling and great tasting!

My sister likes to heat some chicken and side dishes left from Shabbes. She says it fills her up, and she's less likely to snack all night that way. Counter-intuitive, but it works for her.

For weekday lunches, I'm loving soups. I make a big pot of a different soup each week, and freeze in individual portions. When I head off to work, I grab a container, which I can heat up in the microwave. It might be lentil soup, minestrone, split pea soup, vegetable soup, pumpkin soup etc. It's hot and filling and yummy.

On Motzei Shabbos I fill up on leftover Chicken Soupl Yummy, healthy (the way I make it, at least), and then I'm fleishig so it cuts out a lot of unhealthy options.
