Some people think that packing a lunch is just something that you do for your kids. Others pack their lunches every day to save money<\/a> and they usually consist of leftovers or simple sandwiches. More recently, people have jumped on the meal prep bandwagon to follow diets or fulfill certain nutritional quotas. Whatever the reason for packing a lunch, we fully endorse it, especially on National Pack Your Lunch Day, which is annually observed on March 10th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Packing your lunch is a great way to make healthier meal choices<\/a>, provided your lunches aren\u2019t comprised of meats, processed foods, sugars, and tons of simple carbohydrates. If you have a salad with a grilled chicken breast packed for lunch, for instance, you won\u2019t be choosing the first restaurant (typically an unhealthy one) you see to eat at on your lunch break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunch Fact: <\/strong>In 1935, Mickey Mouse was the first licensed character to appear on a lunchbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best things you can do for your health is to stop eating out for lunch. Sometimes the stress of work, or even deciding where to eat lunch, can make you decide on unhealthy food options. This is why it is best to meal prep your lunches for the week<\/a>. You can guarantee that your lunch will be healthy, and you\u2019ll have one less thing to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
