Top 5 Healthy Lunches to Help You Lose Weight

If you’re trying to lose weight, eating healthy lunches can be the difference between success and failure. 

Healthy lunches are typically smaller, lower in calories, and more filling than unhealthy options like takeout or large dinners at restaurants, so they can reduce. 

And your cravings and make it easier to avoid unhealthy food binges later in the day. 

Here are five healthy lunch ideas that will help you lose weight quickly and easily.

1 - Tuna Salad

Tuna is a great source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and B vitamins. 

Mix it up with a fresh veggie like lettuce, tomato, or cucumber and you’ve got yourself an excellent meal that’s high in protein and low in calories. 

This can be eaten on crackers or bread if you want to add more carbs (and calories) into your diet. 

Make sure not to overdo it, though—the average tuna salad has about 330 calories per serving! If you want less fat, leave out the mayonnaise and choose low-fat options like light mayo or plain Greek yogurt. 

Tuna is also one of those foods that spoil quickly so make sure it doesn’t go bad before you eat it all!

2 - Egg Muffins

Omelets are a great source of protein for breakfast, but it can be hard to eat that much egg in one sitting. Solution? 

Make mini-omelets! Simply mix eggs with diced veggies, salt, and pepper (whatever you like), pour into muffin tins, and bake at 350 degrees until eggs are set. 

Top them with cheese and throw them back in until melted. It’s one of our favorite healthy recipes because they’re quick, easy and they taste delicious. 

We prefer turkey sausage over pork sausage because that’s what we usually have on hand but you can use whatever you like best. 

If you find yourself craving something crunchy try topping these off with some crumbled blue corn tortilla chips or chopped almonds for an extra pop of flavor.

3 - Chicken Salad

The classic chicken salad gets a makeover with grapefruit. 

Shredded, roasted chicken is combined with red grapes, diced grapefruit, and some mayonnaise for a fresh taste that will keep you satisfied until dinner. 

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and serve on your favorite greens. (1 cup serving).

4 - Spinach & Feta Wrap

This vegetarian wrap is high in protein but doesn’t contain any saturated fat. 

It’s also rich in iron, which can be hard for vegetarians to get enough of. 

For example, one cup of cooked spinach contains 3.6mg of iron—almost twice as much as what’s in an 8oz steak (1.8mg). 

The lunch itself has about 4 grams total of fiber and 1 gram of protein that brings you well over your RDA (recommended daily allowance) for both fiber and protein for a mere 340 calories! 

Overall, a great alternative if you want something low-calorie for lunch but don’t want to sacrifice taste or nutrition.

5 - Veggie Roll-Ups

Veggie roll-ups are a great alternative for those that might be tired of eating sandwiches for lunch. 

To make veggie roll-ups, simply slice bell peppers, zucchini, and cucumbers into thin slices. 

Add a little low-fat cream cheese (1 oz.) to each slice and wrap up like a tortilla. 

These are an excellent source of fiber and vitamins A and C. Nutrition: 1 Veggie Roll-Up = 195 calories, 9 g fat (2 g saturated), 730 mg sodium, 27 g carbs (3 g fiber, 6 g sugar), 9 g protein)
