The problem with most "healthy" lunches isn't that they're unhealthy — it's that they don't keep you full. A small salad or rice cake leaves you raiding the snack drawer by 3pm. Every lunch below is built around the protein + fiber + fat combination that actually sustains you through the afternoon.
