61 healthy lunches you'll look forward to eating

People say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but what about lunch? Lunch fuels your body and regulates your blood sugar to stay focused and energized for the rest of your day. If you're trying to lose or maintain your weight, then eating lunch is even more important, because skipping it could cause you to overeat at dinner (or have several late-night impromptu ice cream snacks, just sayin').

But another turkey sandwich or plain spinach salad is nothing to get excited about. So, switch up your midday eats and pack a lunch that you're proud of, one you brag to your co-workers or the other parents in carpool about. Make something delicious, something filling and something that you'll be excited to chow down on.
