Lunch

• Order vegetable-based meals in which they are a substantial part of the dish such as chicken salad, stir-fry meals or pasta primavera.
• Sneak more veggies (such as lettuce, tomatoes, celery, onions) into your sandwich or wrap. "For an interesting sandwich spread, try pureed peas by themselves or mix in avocados or hummus," says Elson M. Haas, M.D., author of More Vegetables, Please!
• Request for more vegetable side dishes in your lunch set.
• Make your own green salad for lunch, opting for a variety of colored vegetables to ensure you get a good mix of nutrition.
