Question

What are some foods I can pack? I'm always stuck, I just don't know what to pack.

Community Answer

You can pack a sandwich which would be the main meal, then a snack to accompany the meal such as a fruit or a granola bar. Then H20 and a yogurt or any other snack in case you get hungry after school.

Question

What should I pack for lunch if I have braces?

Community Answer

You should pack non-chewy and non-crunchy foods, because those could either get stuck or break your braces. Some examples of foods you could pack are burritos, soup, or pasta salad.

Question

Why does it need to be put into the refrigerator?

Community Answer

Some food gets spoiled overnight, so keeping it in a cold environment will help keep it fresh.

Question

What are good, healthy foods to put in my lunch?

Community Answer

Foods that contain a variety of nutrients. Be sure to include a good amount of vegetables and lean protein (fish, beans, chicken breast), and have some fruit on the side. You can also include some healthy carbohydrates in moderation, such as rice or whole grain bread. Adding nuts, avocado, or olive oil to your meal can help ensure you get some healthy fats in there as well.

Question

How long does food stay fresh?

Community Answer

It depends on the brand of lunch bag that you are using. It's probably best to put an ice pack in your lunch bag if you have perishable food.

How do I pack a lunch box when on a diet?

Drink water. This is very helpful when you're on a diet. Pack healthy foods that are on your diet. That way you won't be able to eat what you don't have!
