I used to make my own "trail mix" & pre-package it for snacks. I may start doing that again. I need lunch ideas though. I need things that can be pre-packaged so I can grab & go in the mornings. I am NOT a morning person & am always running late. It also helps if it is something I can eat at my desk easily & keep working on the computer. I know that is bad, I should get away from the desk. But if I do and go to my class, I end up with more computer work to do at home at night which can become too much easily. There is also a limit to the time I have or am willing to spend with prep work even on the weekends. I have a high stress job and really need some R&R time on weekends after chores are done. Okay, my fitness guru comrads. Give my your guidance (and fuss at me if you must LOL).

Its just about finding recipes you like and can make in bulk and eat for lunch during the week. I make almost every recipe on Skinnytaste.com. Its a chef that takes regular recipes and makes them WeightWatchers friendly. 90% of her meals can be make in bulk, lets say on the weekends, and divided into containers for lunches. I really like her Taco Turkey Chili Soup.
She also includes calories and portion sizes! None of her recipes take very long to cook and she has tons of crock pot recipes! Or you could cook several chicken breasts on the weekend and put them in containers with a veggie. Sometimes I will just cook a little extra at dinner and put a little aside for lunch the next day.
A trail mix i like is mixed unsalted nuts and craisens.
