Susie said to finish the meal with a piece of fruit and a handful of nuts or a seed-based snack.

For her most filling lunch options, she suggested a stuffed baked potato with salad or a chicken schnitzel with roasted vegetables.

Susie shared some tasty and healthy lunch box ideas. In one of them she put a slice of quiche with salad, carrot, cucumber and pepper sticks and a fruit muffin with blackberries.

For less organized days, Susie said there are plenty of takeaway options in the food court so your diet doesn't have to go astray.

Susie also recommended going for chicken or fish with salad, or stir-frying shrimp or tofu with vegetables.
