So the easiest thing to do on your half an hour lunch break is to run to McDonald's or Burger King. But if you're doing that every day, you are definitely racking up the bucks--and the calories. The best thing to do it prepare your lunch the night before. Betty Crocker has a ton a recipes that are quick to make and very healthy. One of my favorite, easy lunch recipes is the Bean and Veggie Wrap. I prefer a whole wheat wrap, but any will work. It's stuffed with black beans, mushrooms, spinach leaves and Cheddar cheese. This wrap is packed with nutrients and is only 280 calories. It will that will definitely fill your stomach and hold you over until dinner. Don't be afraid to add variety by filling your wrap with different beans, mushrooms or cheese.

I totally agree with you on this! Eating fast food is so convenient and well, fast lol. I have been to McDonald's way too many times already this semester and I need to stop- the money adds up and so do the calories like you said. I like the wrap idea- I should try that. I normally always make sandwiches for lunch but this seems like a great alternative..healthy too. Thank you for sharing, I look forward to reading your blog!
