When the clock strikes 12 noon at work and your stomach is growling, it is all too easy to get into the car and drive to the local fast food establishment and gorge on some fat laden, sodium full, high caloric meal that eliminates all pretence of eating healthy.
However, the reason this scenario is often followed and repeated is that for too many people they have no real healthy lunch ideas that can serve as an alternative to the destructive scenario detailed above. There are a number of reasons for this lack of knowledge, and too many to mention in this short article. However, one of the biggest reasons is, the perceived lack of affordable general knowledge regarding quick and healthy alternatives. As a result, because of this lack of knowledge, many individuals feel that creating healthy lunch ideas is costly and time-consuming and in today’s economic and fast paced environments this makes the practice of creating delicious and nutritious meals very difficult.

As an example, a great healthy lunch idea that will take less time to make then driving to your local fast food establishment and still be healthy for you is: take some leftovers from dinner the night before. Make a little more the night before and bring it to work or school with you the next day. It does not take much time to put this food in some Tupperware and heat it up in the microwave. This healthy lunch idea will ensure that you control your fat, sodium, and caloric intake.
Another healthy lunch idea would be to make a healthy, delicious, and nutritious chicken breast salad loaded with some natural nuts.
