@Dori: Sadly, I do that quite often. I hate to be lazy, but schleping containers back in forth in my bag on the subway drives me nuts because they take up my whole bag. But I love the ideas!

That’s what my fridge looked like yesterday, too! I always find that it forces me to be creative (or just go out–yikes). Such cute photos of you and Mal in the above post!

I’ve tried that lentil soup before–much cheaper than the Amy’s variety!

I am def a lunch bringer–I love getting to pack my lunch! I really like to pack good ol’ hummus and veggies.

I’m a total lunch bringer. It’s just too expensive to eat out for lunch every day, and generally speaking, I make better food. Plus I live alone, so it’s the only way to make sure my food doesn’t go bad.

I can’t say I have a fave lunch to bring. I like everything!

I’m a lunch bringer. One of my attorneys today commented on how yummy my food smelled and then asked me if I do dinner leftovers – yep I do! Dinner leftovers are my favorite to bring to lunch! I need something filling at lunch to power me through my evening workouts.

What a great post! I am a bringer and while I don’t always love making my lunch, I am getting more creative and loving lunchtime!Its generally more environmentally friendly too, less packaging!

A bringer! I like to buy in bulk different kinds of healthy soups at Costco Wholesale. Right now, I’m really liking the Amy’s Lentil and Minestrone soups which I pair with toast and a laughing cow cheese wedge. This seems to be the most filling lunch I can find and by buying in bulk I’m saving money. I let myself buy lunch out once during the work week, which is usually a veggie sandwich or salad bar.

Definitely a bringer! A turkey sandwich on lite wheat bread, a low-sodium v8, and a yogurt are in my bag everyday, along with a couple pieces of fruit and some carrots for snacking. It’s inexpensive and keeps me on a good routine.
