When it comes to making or packing lunch ahead of time, it's easy to fall into a rut and quickly grow tired of your usual staples. Adding a new diet to the mix is likely to make you feel even more limited in your options and more grumpy when you're left eating the exact same lunch you had three times already this week.

Rest assured that your midday meal doesn't have to be boring when you're trying to eat a little healthier. We've got you covered with 100 (yep, 100!) recipes that fit into your current lifestyle, whether you've gone Paleo, vegan, vegetarian, keto, or Whole30.
