Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I try really hard to pack my lunch for work during the week but sometimes it just doesn't work out. Any suggestions for takeout lunches that are vegetarian friendly and high protein? I've tried the veggie patty at subway which I like and the veggie burger at BK which is okay (microwaved and on white bread so not ideal!). I get very frustrated sometimes trying to find somwhere to eat lunch that fits my lifestyle. Any suggestions would be very appreciated!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hi Caroline, I am pretty lucky in that I live in an area with vast choices for take out. I have a salad place that you can chose your toppings that include 3 kinds of beans, hard boiled eggs, tofu, and 6 kinds of cheese. I just bring my own brown. There is an asian place that does brown rice, steamed veggies and tofu with no sauce that I like. I have an indian place near my work that has fabulous vegetarian food, I just bring my own brown (or I can get these great microwavable brown rice packs at the grocery store). There is a vegetarian restaurant that just started serving brown rice tortillas so I've done tofu and veggie wraps, there. Not sure what your area is like though--I think my choices might be more rare. Maybe we can help you brain storm some ideas from the places you have near you?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I agree that browns are usually the bigger challenge than protein. My on-the-road meals are Subway sandwiches (I get extra-extra cheese), bean burritos, or pizza, but the burritos and pizza involve whites. At Mexican food places, I'll sometimes ask for bean tacos, or just get a side of beans and a couple of corn tortillas. I've also picked up brown rice from a Pick Up Stix (chain restaurant, but they're not everywhere) and combined it with beans from a Mexican restaurant (like La Salsa or Baja Fresh). Indian food would be great too, if they have (or you bring) brown rice.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Caroline Where I work there aren't great takeout options.  I could get a baked potato or an omelette, or buy bits from a convenience store. One idea I have for you is to leave emergency rations AT work. I have a couple of pouches of brown rice in my locker, a pouch of mutta paneer (Indian cheese curry), one of chick pea chilli, another of dahl. I also have a pack of w'ml pitta breads and tins of green beans and spinach.
