When it comes to making or packing lunch [1] ahead of time, it's easy to fall in a rut and quickly grow tired of your usual staples. Adding a new diet [2] 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.
