Breakfast is an easy meal - cereal, eggs, toast, pancakes. The list goes on. Dinner is equally as easy - it's whatever your parents decide to cook for you.

But then there's lunch. Whether you're standing in line at the school cafeteria, at food court in the mall, or just in your kitchen, deciding on what to eat for lunch is a hard decision. Should you eat a sandwich, hamburger, chicken, salad? Of course, what you will decide is up to your personal taste, however we can offer some suggestions for a healthy and filling lunch.
