You should bring food that can be enjoyed cold. Or if available, warm up your food over a stove or in a toaster oven. Use the microwave as a last option; though convenient, it has been found that microwave cooking destroys some important nutrients in your food. If you choose to use the microwave, try to avoid plastic containers or plastic wrap because studies have shown that when these are microwaved, they can leach dioxins, phthalates, or nonylphenol. Instead, microwave your food in glassware, corning ware, ceramic or lead-free terra cotta bowls. So, here are some lunch meals to bring:
- Greens with steamed beets sprinkled with pine nuts, walnuts, and shredded chicken
- Avocado and turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread.
- Whole grain pasta with organic meat sauce.
- Brown rice or quinoa with sautéed veggies.
- Veggie stir-fries or boiled dumplings.
