When I create a meal prep lunch recipe for this site, my goal is somewhere near 400 calories. I find that in this ballpark, you get the perfect intersection of a decent-sized portion that will actually fill you up, healthy grains, proteins, plenty of veggies, and you don’t need to sacrifice on flavor, either!

Some of these are meal prep lunch recipes under 400 calories including rice/grains (I always include this in my calculations on my site), however some of these recipes do not include grains…in which case it is indicated.
