I've been trying to get creative (making soup and freezing in single portions), but my fall back is always the frozen single portion meals that are low in calories but probably not low in sodium. Great idea about the chicken! I used to roast some chicken and shred it and freeze it for salads and tacos but haven't done that yet. My library has a copy of this so I'm going to see if I can garner any inspiration--especially for hub who can't do veggies, fruits, and salads due to allergies.

This looks a gem to own since I'm really tired of trying to come up with creative ideas for our weekday lunches. We eat a lot of leftovers, but sometimes we simply don't have anything to pack other than PBJ or tuna sandwiches. I try to buy a rotisserie chicken every weekend and use that meat for sandwiches, but even that gets a little boring.
