No more sad brown bag sandwich.

Each of the meals listed here are tasty, healthy, and under 400 calories. Obviously calories aren't the be-all, end-all of health, and depending on your personal goals you might want to eat more than 400 calories for lunch — do what makes the most sense for you. Also worth mentioning: We also looked for meals that were low in sugar (under 20 grams) and had a decent amount of protein (at least 10 grams, but usually a lot more). There are also some vegetarian options, if that's what you're looking for. To figure out nutrition info when it wasn't listed, we used this recipe analyzer.
Southwestern Chicken Fajita Mason Jar Salad
Each salad has 166 calories without the optional add-ons like avocado, cheese, and sour cream (try greek yogurt instead!), with 12 grams of protein and 8 grams of sugar.
