HEALTHY LUNCH IDEAS for Work/School + Dietitian Tips!

[@wykkydtruth]

Keep your dressing container inside your salad container, so if it leaks it's on your lettuce and it won't make a mess.

[@daynas7403]

You got me at " I work full time" so hard to follow other youtubers healthy eating advice because it's totally not realistic for my lifestyle! Loved the video - vegetarian ideas ?!

[@sammiecakes5]

I love how realistic your meal plans are I think your my new favorite channel, I just discovered you today, and I'm already a huge fan !

[@BeccaBristow]

+Samantha Alvarez Yay!! Welcome Samantha! xoxo

[@lisakusmin5337]

I want to thank you so much! Really this inspired me to eat healthy again! Before moving away to college i managed to lose around 13-14 kilos (with healthy eating), i was almost obese and i made it into the "normal" category, measured by the body fat percentage. Now that i moved away for college it has been very difficult and i have lost almost all of my motivation to eat healthy, study and do anything, sadly i gained almost all my weight back. You have made me want to eat healthy again! And i have not lost my hope. Thank you so much! And for everyone who is trying to lose weight, 85% of the weight loss really depends on healthy eating!

[@BeccaBristow]

I am so happy to have helped you in any way that I can, Lisa! You have totally got this, just take it one day at a time!! I believe in you :) If you haven't gotten a chance to watch my "How to start a healthy lifestyle" video, I think you should definitely check it out! It's just real advice, not gimmicky, and I think you would really find it helpful xx

[@lisakusmin5337]

Thank you so much! I will go watch it right now!

[@caseylynn718]

Im so hooked on the parfait idea! I add 1 cup of the 80 cal vanilla yogurt & frozen berry mix ( minus the granola) & its amazing! Thanks for the great ideas! I started doing a pack of low sodium tuna, light mayo, & some corn... I use that as a dip w/a few bagel chips- its light & filling

[@kaitgrissett]

I love these videos and your channel. I’m recovering from an eating disorder and the videos you make have really helped me to grow. I’m trying to change my view on food and have a healthy relationship with it and you really help.

[@ehrlichv]

Putting plastic wrap down before you make the wrap is honestly the greatest tip, it's so simple but I always struggle contain my wraps lol

[@Amberle42]

+VeronicaDow Haha! me too :-)

[@michalexpill]

great ideas! I love making quinoa bowls topped with whatever raw or roasted veggies I have plus protein (beans, chicken, tofu) greens and salad dressing!

[@BeccaBristow]

Omg quinoa bowls sound amazing!! What a great idea. I am definitely cooking up some quinoa this weekend and making up some bowls for next week!

[@stephaniewatson1086]

I loved this video. I also love that you’re a full-time working woman! So many of KZbinrs are by women that don’t work, so it’s really hard to relate to them!

[@gabriellamejia325]

it's called pumpkin flax granola, because it has pumpkin seeds in it.

[@pmoyeriii]

Thank you for making this video. Great healthy lunch ideas! I added the trail mix and it does the job with break-time snacks before & after lunch.

[@BeccaBristow]

Awesome job Paul!

[@mareaenochs6951]

For lunch I have turkey, light mayo, spinach, and cheese all on an everything bagel!

[@barbylee8999]

The best lunch ideas ever...you have saved my budget...lord bless you

[@juliagenre8639]

Obsessed with these videos!! Keep them coming lady!

[@BeccaBristow]

You got it!!

[@alyciaa9277]

I love those options! I don’t like to eat carbs at work, like wraps, bread or pasta because it makes me sluggish but I would make the wrap for dinner!

[@slothyslothbear83]

I make an arugula salad with a few chopped walnuts, a little bit of feta, and some of those dried cranberries from TJs with a lemon juice/olive oil dressing. Bring it with some yogurt and some fresh fruit. SO good and so flavorful!

[@BeccaBristow]

YUM that sounds so so good!! May have to get that in my rotation :) Thanks for sharing Amanda!

[@austin4626]

Excellent ideas! Keep up the videos!

[@BeccaBristow]

Thanks Austin!

[@dladymuse]

This is the first time I actually watched these types of videos. This is the healthy lunch video I never knew I wanted. Thank you for creating realistic and easy lunches!

[@marceamarable9021]

Thank you for posting this. I am just super excited that you are an RD and know what you are saying and the effects of sodium.

[@BeccaBristow]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jerriseervai3770]

Great ideas!!! I'll definitely try the parfait!

[@BeccaBristow]

Awesome!! Let me know how you like it 😉

[@elizabethdavies3094]

I have been obsessed with all of your videos lately!! I had the wrap yesterday and brought the parfait for lunch today. The parfait has definitely become my new obsession as well. I cannot get enough of your What I Eat in a Day vids so please do not stop anytime soon! You also looked beautiful on your wedding day 💜

[@BeccaBristow]

Aw thank you Lizzy! I will definitely keep them coming! Thanks for watching & for your sweet words!

[@abigailjensen3850]

I'm in college and always need meals on the go for between classes and this video was amazing. Thank you SO much Becca!!

[@BeccaBristow]

Yay!! I'm so happy it helped you! Thanks for watching 😊

[@samanthastruck8538]

Good idea about adding frozen fruit! I'll have to try it :)

[@BeccaBristow]

Let me know how you like it!!

[@belainverso7455]

My favourite granola is the natures path coconut and chia seeds granola. I like to mix in rolled oats and flaxseeds and it is amazing

[@amberw5912]

I just found your channel and I think you may be about to change my life. All of this stuff seems very doable and attainable!

[@kaybedo28]

love these ideas! that parfait sounds amazing!!

[@BeccaBristow]

It is SO GOOD! Thanks for watching 😊

[@MsVintagevibe]

I am a new subscriber, but so thankful I found your channel. I love all the healthy ideas for lunches/grocery shopping. I need all the inspiration I can get! I'd love to see more videos like this.

[@erinjenkins5822]

Hi Becca! I just wanted to say your videos are great! I discovered your channel last year while applying for Dietetic Internships here in Ontario, Canada and have been watching you ever since! I am currently in internship, and have been thinking of starting a youtube channel/blog/website when I am done! You've definitely inspired me to go for it! I love your realistic approach and I think you're definitely helping to break that stigma that us RD's (or almost RDs) are the Food Police. Keep up the good work! Can't wait for your next video :)

[@BeccaBristow]

Yes you should definitely do it!!! The world (and KZbin) definitely needs more educated health/nutrition advocates with realistic outlooks! Best of luck in your internship!

[@sleepingaurora1286]

I really enjoyed this video :) you're very down to earth and the fact that you're eating real food but it's healthy is really nice. Thank you for the lunch ideas :D

[@Workoutable44]

Will you do a video on your go to snacks ?! I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts sometimes it's more snacks then sitting down for a full meal and it's easy to pick the wrong things ! I do enjoy salads can't wait to try your idea! Thanks!

[@BeccaBristow]

That's a great idea!!! I am the queen of packing snacks for work haha so I got you! I have added it to my list! 😊

[@krr74]

These are great ideas! I like learning what I can do that I don't need to warm up. As a substitute teacher, I feel awkward using a crowded lunchroom with a long microwave line.

[@BeccaBristow]

Hahaha I totally feel you! I've never really liked using the communal microwaves either..I kinda feel awkward about it as well! But I'm so glad you were able to get some ideas 😊

[@krr74]

:-)

[@nabs3465]

+kaetlin rollison hello Ms! Omg I know u

[@14LiveYourLife14]

Great video, Becca! I love to make wraps with avocado, lemon or lime juice, sea salt, cracked pepper, and spinach. (I make two small ones to fill me up).Great veg option. I also sometimes make a salad with leftover roasted veggies. Then I'll take a mason jar filled with fruit like pineapple and raspberries. If I don't eat them all at lunch I'll snack on them during the rest of the day. Walnuts are also usually an accompanying snack. Sometimes I toss in dark chocolate chips. Was wondering if you're upping your carb intake while training for a marathon?

[@BeccaBristow]

That all sounds AMAZING! Especially the chocolate chips part ☺️ And as far as upping the carbs..not really. I've been eating the same pretty much, just more on some days if I'm hungrier. I do however make sure to always have a carb-rich meal (usually oatmeal) before long runs, and also during long runs I'll eat Gus to help me get through them! And generally I'll have 1 Gu for every 5 miles.

[@janetslater5445]

If you don't want to use that little salad dressing container, you can also just pour the salad dressing into a corner or two of the salad bowl, then just mix or shake before you eat it.

[@legofireproductions]

Letting the frozen berries thaw is such a good trick! :) reminds me of those Costco berry ice cream things! I really liked that you assembled everything "live" as opposed to already having them made before you explained them, it was just different to what I normally see! I subscribed!!!

[@kimlee-blair5359]

Will love to try you lunch ideas. Will help me switch up on a daily basis!

[@katiehorrell3589]

Love love this type of video! Definitely more like these :D

[@BeccaBristow]

You got it!!

[@annaangrisano348]

love the salad idea

[@suckajas]

Great ideas!!! Thank you! Just subbed hope to see more!! Excited to try these!

[@BeccaBristow]

Thanks so much!! Glad you got some ideas! :)

[@mattjessmommaerts4695]

What do you eat for breakfast? Do you snack during the day? Would you consider making "What I ate today" videos? Maybe once/week? Thanks! Love your vids!!

[@BeccaBristow]

I have a few "what I eat in a day" or "full day of healthy eating" videos up on my channel now that you can check out! And there will be more to come!

[@ladyd9346]

Luv this video!

[@Ilovejesus-95]

Girl I love that Trail mix too! I'm sad where I recently moved there are no Trader Joes.

[@jjacksonmsrd8496]

thank you for the ideas! I love your videos

[@BeccaBristow]

Thanks so much Jontae!!

[@1024specialkay]

[@Sedated27]

Awesome ideas. im def gonna try these.

[@danielajimenez6265]

Please make a video on The Skinny On-Granola/Granola Bars. I think that would be so helpful! You're videos are honestly so helpful,straightforward, and simple!! Keep it up!!

[@BeccaBristow]

Love the granola bar idea! It is on my list! Thanks so much for watching ❤️❤️

[@simply_sheri]

Hi! I just discovered your channel and you have inspired me so much to begin my health journey! I feel like I have learned a lot from you already!!!

[@lost619]

I like making lunches for work as it gives you something to look forward to rather than boring old sandwiches like I used to do or fast food which is so bad and adds up with cost! These are some nice ideas :)

[@BeccaBristow]

Yes I totally agree!! So glad you enjoyed :)

[@SusieThomsen]

This is the first video of yours I watched.... 3 years ago, wow!!!

[@applemae4309]

Wow! So thankful I found your channel. So simple and easy to make, I really need this.

[@BeccaBristow]

Wow!! That is awesome! I'm so happy I'm able to help you! Thanks for watching 😊

[@Andrea5682]

[@GiorgiaWaves]

I love avocado (: Beautiful ideas !!

[@BeccaBristow]

[@EmilyDovick]

I have been binge watching your nutrition videos for the past couple of days😂👌🏼Your videos seem to be my favourite because your eating style is very similar to mine and it is realistic! Love them keep doing these!

[@BeccaBristow]

I love your videos. This helped a lot because I can never think of good things to bring to work for lunch! :)

[@BeccaBristow]

Aw yay! So glad it helped you!!

[@amyhall1744]

I love your channel! I found it a couple of weeks ago and I'm sure I've watched most of your videos. btw I like that you used the broken pretzels. It's more realistic.

[@MissChocolateLy]

I'd eat all 3 lunch ideas as one lunch...

[@BeccaBristow]

+T.B. Ly the portion sizes I show are for me, not necessarily appropriate for everyone!

[@MissChocolateLy]

I know and I can imagine you'd be full, I wish I would be! Would make packing for uni so much easier ^^

[@ianbrians1524]

Lol

[@OliviaSalzman]

love these ideas!!!

[@ModernMolliee]

Great ideas! I love the Nature's Path granola too--I think it has pumpkin seeds and that's why it's called pumpkin granola! I'm an avocado lover too! :)

[@BeccaBristow]

Haha well than that makes perfect sense! I'm glad it isn't pumpkin flavored because than it wouldn't go with everything 😂 thanks for watching!!

[@ModernMolliee]

Definitely! It's good with everything :)

[@onelovekns]

New subscriber here! Great video, I like the simple, nutritious ideas! Can't wait to binge watch all the videos I've missed 😍

[@manifestationbaddie]

[@sashlav04]

I'm going to try out these ideas. I'm a RD as well. ❤️

[@julieragle1695]

Great ideas thank you! I just need to have some lunches in the fridge because when the day gets so busy I get hungry and then eat whatever.

[@hayleyrebecca7580]

Can you make a the Skinny on Protein Bars video. There's so many out there and I never know which one is the healthiest to purchase since there are so many chemicals. Also, you inspired me to want to be a nutritionist. I'm 15 years old and I am very passionate about clean eating and eating more natural foods. Your the skinny on peanut butter video made me start purchasing natural nut butters and they taste so much better and I am happy to know that the ingredients are healthy and have no chemicals. I love you so much and do you have any advice for pursuing a career in nutrition I am very nervous lol

[@sarahkhong3251]

same, she should totally make a video about that; I have decided that protein bar should be my snack... just not sure which is the healthiest

[@sarahkhong3251]

[@theultimatetina92]

Girl! To wrap your wrap you should fold the wrap in half over your fillings so that the folded edge is horizontal and closest to you and then pull the top half towards you to get all the fillings in tight then fold up the ends and roll it the rest of the way up! I hope that made sense but I'm telling you it changes your wrap game!

[@BeccaBristow]

So good to know! Thanks! xx

[@danaizv1243]

Loved the video and found you ideas and information really helpful!! I would also love a what's in my fridge video 🍎🍓🍱

[@BeccaBristow]

Thanks so much for watching!! And that's a great idea 😄

[@natalllz]

I used to liiiiiive off those Dannon Oiko's yogurts until I realized how much sugar was in them! I recommend using half the package and using greek yogurt just to cut down on the sugar

[@BeccaBristow]

Oh girl I feel you. I went through s short phase with them, I don't think I could even stomach them now with all that sugar! Makes me cringe!

[@justcarinaily]

thanks for the video. loved it

[@valvieira7260]

Love these ideas! New subscriber here!

[@MissEllaReads]

i love your videos, just subscribed :-)

[@BeccaBristow]

Would love a video on healthy workday breakfasts and dinners

[@BeccaBristow]

I have a couple dinner recipe videos on my channel at this point, but I will definitely try to make more in the future!! And more breakfast ideas as well! Thanks for watching Ainsley :)

[@mpcote8117]

Thank you! These are great ideas xox My favorite lunch to bring is my vegetarian chili, it tastes even better reheated :)

[@BeccaBristow]

YUM that sounds so good! And I bet that it does! I'll have to bring some chilli in for lunch next time I make it. Thanks for the idea!

[@Sandrashideaway]

Great lunch ideas! 😁 i love that you use easy to find foods and simple things to make. I've just been bringing to work a low-fat Greek yogurt and string cheese and it's not that filling. Lol 😀Love your videos!

[@EFEFIlIl]

I love a whole wheat tortilla with hummus, bell pepper, red onion, and feta cheese.

[@BeccaBristow]

Mmm that sounds delicious!!

[@hithere7282]

Great ideas thank you

[@KatieReinesMSRD]

Awesome video!!! I love your videos, so inspired!! The Pumpkin flax granola has pumpkin seeds in it :) xx

[@BeccaBristow]

Thanks so much for watching Katie!! :) Love seeing fellow RDs on here!

[@yigallupo1627]

Hi, never lose the greener stuff that is on the avocado peel

[@Xzd7765]

Finally a realistic video that doesn't involve one boiled egg and a ridiculously small amount of veggies... keep spreading the good message ! Also can I swap the turkey for tofu ?

[@BeccaBristow]

Hahaha yesss!!! Amen for real people meals!! And yes absolutely! That would be a great swap :)

[@kristymiller4634]

[@claytonwilkinson3884]

What a great idea! Salad for lunch in a Tupperware. And switching it up on the dressing. Wow. All the hand motions add interest to a mundane topic

[@livinglife321]

Great meal ideas!! By the way, it's called Pumpkin Flax granola because of the pumpkin seeds in it :)

[@BeccaBristow]

Thank you! And that makes total sense haha thanks

[@KaylaHuebner00]

Do a video on how to become a dietitian and the process of it!!💕

[@PixieMae85]

What is the brand of larger container you used for the salad and fruit parfait?

[@BeccaBristow]

It is OXO! They make awesome Tupperware!
