You’re dieting, time is tight, and the budget is even tighter. These 3 Quick & Easy Protein Lunch Recipes I’m going to show you today will hopefully help solve all of these! Delicious, easy to make, and packed with flavor.

From ramen to mac & cheese and taco bowls, we’ve got both your taste buds and diet covered!

Quick Egg Ramen

We start these quick and easy protein lunch recipes off with a college favorite, ramen!

Take out your favorite flavor ramen and prepare it in either microwave or by boiling some water.

After your ramen has cooked, simply add in an egg and 2 egg whites while it’s still hot.

Mix those up and as you mix them, your eggs will cook.

Toss on some chili sauce or anything else you want to give it some heat!

If you’ve never had egg ramen before, you’re seriously missing out.

Tuna Mac & Cheese

For this protein packed lunch, all you need some microwave mac & cheese.

Prepare your mac & cheese, throw in a can of drained tuna, and add in some chili sauce or anything you else you want to change up the flavor.

Yes, I said tuna. I know they don’t “sound” like they’d go together but I promise you that if you like tuna and you like mac & cheese, you’ll love this!

A couple bucks and you’ve got a whole new spin on the traditional mac & cheese.

Taco Salad Bowls

Ready to change up your taco game? These little things will impress, especially since they only take a few minutes to prep.

Start this one with a tortilla bowl. You can find these at most local grocery stores for a couple bucks.

Add into your tortilla bowl a little salad mix, cooked chicken, tuna, or other protein source, chopped up cucumber, crispy onions or croutons, and a little chili sauce or other sauce for dressing!

You can also make these the night before in bulk without the sauce and just add the sauce on when you’re ready to eat them. Easy, right?
