Answer :

My roommate takes a simple recipe from Cooking Light or a similar magazine or online recipe place, shops for it and makes her lunch for the week all in one big go when she makes her dinner on Saturday or Sunday. Then she partitions her meals into storage containers and is good to go for the week. This doesn’t preclude the occasional lunch out, or she gets bored. But I’ve only seen her do that on average of one time per month. I’m at home for the time being, so I don’t need to do this.
