I usually have breakfast and dinner at home, so eating healthfully twice a day is easy. But because I’m often out or working alone at lunch, making good food choices at that meal is more difficult.
Over the years, I’ve discovered I’m less likely to reach for something I shouldn’t eat if lunch has been prepared ahead. Remembering to pack a lunch regularly, however, isn’t easy. But there is a solution: Make a little extra at tonight’s dinner for tomorrow’s lunch.
