Take a pack lunch instead of buying lunch out all the time. Making sure you take your own lunch to work or if you are going out for the day will save you money and also plastic. It is far better for the environment to take a lunch box than buy sandwiches and other items in plastic packaging.

It's a great way to get breakfast and lunch all in one, but without spending the money of both. Swapping city secrets with locals - This sort of ties in with #10, but also #5. Food trucks - I travel for food and I want to eat all the things when I go somewhere new. Clearly, food is very important to me.

Enjoy this for a snack, lunch, or dinner! Several of the ingredients can be swapped out. Add the cottage cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon, vinegar, and seasonings to a small food processor or blender. I use my Ninja food chopper/blender several times a week. The entire recipe has a whopping 162 grams! Affordable.

To reduce food waste, we prepared these mostly with ingredients that needed to be used. These are perfect for meal prep, lunch, or dinner! My oven-baked rice is part of my weekly food prep. Roasted peppers are also part of my weekly food prep. Swap the chicken out for whatever meat you have. Tons of texture.

If you need to lose some weight, start by replacing one or two unhealthy foods with healthier ones for a week or two, then move on to another unhealthy part of your diet. Take leftovers for your lunch at work or throw a salad together in the morning. Fad diets don’t work and some are even dangerous, so avoid them.
