In case you’re looking for a healthy and tasty alternative to that sad desk salad.

When you eat the right kind of food at lunch, it'll help you stay full and alert throughout the afternoon. You won't be as tempted to snack, and you'll feel more energized. But healthy lunch can sometimes be a little hard to plan for and figure out.
So we turned to some healthy people to see what they like to eat for lunch. Some of these folks are nutrition experts with advanced degrees and strings of letters after their names. Others are personal trainers, fitness coaches, and healthy food bloggers. Regardless, these are people who think a ton about healthy eating and how to choose food that makes you feel good.
Here's what they shared. Some good ideas in here you might want to try yourself.
Stuffed Ranchero Sweet Potato
"This recipe is perfect to pack up when you're on the go! One sweet potato provides over 300% of your daily vitamin A needs, and comes packed with other sassy nutrients." (Get the recipe here.)
—Wendy Lopez, nutritionist, and Jessica Jones, MS, RD, co-hosts of Food Heaven Made Easy
Vegetable Grits
"I recently moved from the West Coast to the South and have totally fallen in love with grits. But in true California fashion, I add a bunch of vegetables to them -- in this case a bunch of collard greens or kale, blitzed in the food processor. They are super-green, creamy and make the perfect one-bowl lunch with a couple poached eggs on top." (You can find the recipe here.)
