Although you have the right idea that you should eat protein--lettuce doesn't have a significant amount. Some non-meat sources of protein that you can add to salads would be beans, lentils, eggs, edamame, or chunks of tofu. There are tons of fun combinations to try! Hi Rachie-

Especially the dark leafy greens. I am no vegetarian, but I am a big fan of the idea that you should try to get more of your protien from non-meat sources - much healthier!

I suggested cucumbers with a sprinkling of lemon juice (pinch of salt to taste), which is refreshing. We were discussing healthy snacks and some suggested the same snacks you list as well as others.

So I bring a a dish of dry cereal in warm weather, cooked oatmeal in summer and an apple, banana and a baked potatoe along with anything that I can think of to add to them. Tonight for something different, and because the building is hot, and dry, I brought a Greek salad and a serving of crutons previously fried in olive oil. I get tired cooking for myself, but I must cheer myself up and plan ahead to eat healthy. Maybe you could lay out or tell your Dear husband what is available to eat have him pack his own lunch thereby releiving you of the burden of doing everything. Of course if he needs mothering, look at the foodnetworks infinate number of ideas:) I work nightshift and bring my own food because we don’t have access to dining or machines.

It would keep things like soups, stews and chilis hot all morning until lunch, and could serve as its own bowl when it's time to eat.

I have a husband who works construction so it is difficult making lunches that don't require heating or a table and silverware. To add to it, he doesn't like eating leftovers and gets bored with the same thing everyday. I am desperate for different lunch ideas. Please, if anyone can help. I appreciate it. This was helpful.

I can't wait to try them. I had some leftover wheat pasta from dinner the other night. I tossed it in some olive oil, added tomato, feta, spinach and a cup of black beans. It was delicious!
