One of the most popular Primal Potential podcast episodes was all about how to create a fat loss breakfast. I think a lot of people have a hard time with lunch, even more than breakfast, because they’re often out of the house and eating on-the-go. In today’s episode we’re talking about paleo lunch ideas, recipes, and basic principles to put together a primal or paleo fat loss friendly lunch no matter where you are or how much time you have! Plus, we’ll talk about strategies and ideas for making good choices when lunching out!

Paleo Lunch Ideas

I think it’s important, at all meals, to eat foods you love. When looking at the spectrum of whole foods, which are your favorites? How can you deconstruct them to make them easy and convenient for lunch? Can you make extras at dinner to have leftovers for lunch? (PS: I routinely send out my favorite recipes via my free VIP email list. Are you on it?)

My simple food rules apply to all meals.

Eat foods I love

Make enough for leftovers

Focus on fat, protein and fiber

Here are some of my favorites:

Chicken salad
Salmon salad (especially stuffed in avocado)
Tuna salad
Egg salad (seeing a trend? Portable, easy, delish and fat loss friendly)
Bacon & eggs
Deviled eggs (try mashing some avocado with your egg yolks)
Bunless burger
Salmon cakes
Meat muffins
Liver mousse with raw veggies
Shredded cabbage slaw with chicken, beef or pork
Massive salad with protein of choice
Shrimp cocktail
Lettuce wrap with turkey, avocado and veggies
Taco salad (minus the taco)
Crab stuffed avocado
Cheese plate with prosciutto

When Eating Out

Lettuce wrap from places like Jimmy Johns or Which Wich
Salad bowl from places like Chipotle or Penn Station (most places will do a sandwich in a bowl without the bread)
Any burger or sandwich without the bun/bread
Fajitas without the tortillas and beans
Steak/chicken/fish with veggies or salad
