Leftovers
- Leftovers make for a hearty and easily packable lunch for your man, and also allow you to use up food from the previous night. In planning your boyfriend's lunch, cook more dinner than you normally would so that you have enough for his lunch the next day. Put the leftovers in a plastic container so it's immediately ready for him the next day.
Sandwiches
- Sandwiches are easily packable and can be diverse, providing for a new meal every day. The standard peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a timeless favorite, but you can spruce up the meal by making a meat and vegetable sandwich, including sliced ham, lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise and mustard. Keep the tomatoes between the lettuce and ham so they don't make the bread soggy.
Microwavable Lunches
- Pre-packaged food is an easy and healthy option for lunches when your boyfriend has access to a microwave. These meals often include most, if not all, of the various food groups, and a variety to choose from is available. A traditional combination of pasta, vegetables and a cream sauce can be delicious and convenient.
Soup
- A large batch of soup is easily portioned and frozen for a cheap lunch solution. The process is simplest if you put each portion into a plastic container and then into the freezer. When you pack his lunch, simply pull the portioned soup out of the refrigerator and put it in his bag.
Variety
- Make a variety of lunches for your boyfriend that include all the food groups. Many working boyfriends resort to quick lunches that aren't always nutritionally complete. Start him off slowly on a healthy path by leaving cut fresh fruit and vegetables on the counter. Gradually work these types of items into his lunches.
