LUNCH IDEAS 💡

I recently got a request to show what my lunches look like during the week!

Most of the recipes that you see on my instagram are fun recipes or things that I like to on the weekends. Below is the daily format that I have been following for my lunches for years!

☑️Protein

☑️Carbohydrate/Veggie

☑️Fat/Sauce

Like, every day.👏🏻😊

I also tell most of my clients to follow this format. I always felt like the typical lunch foods never filled me up and kept me fueled. A salad or sandwich is so good, but I always found my self hungry an hour later. This is format that has worked for so many people! I post these meals in the app but I wanted to show some here! These aren’t my typical pretty pictures but it’s real + what I eat daily!

I used to bring this stuff when I was a teacher and meal prep it for 2 days at a time. Now I typically make my lunch at home.

Make it work for your schedule and make a plan to fuel yourself well.
