For most of us, lunch is a meal that needs to be especially quick and convenient. When you’re working in the office or at school all day, you can’t exactly settle in for a cooking session…
The meals we’ve picked on this list had to meet two criteria. They had to be lunchbox-friendly (a.k.a. travel-friendly), and they needed to reheat well in the microwave. They all also come together easily the night before, and make for great leftovers.
Lazy Shredded Beef
Cook up a chuck roast on the weekend, and keep the leftovers for lunches throughout the week.
Beef and Veggie Stir Fry
Stir frys are super quick—and super delicious! This one reheats really well in the microwave, and is also a great way to use up any extra veggies you have in your fridge.
Buffalo Chicken Salad
Salads are classic at lunchtime, and for good reason. This salad has tons of flavor and is an easy option to grab from your fridge as you head out for the day.
Creamy Sausage Pumpkin Soup
Soups make fantastic leftovers, so they’re perfect weekday lunches, and this one is an absolute favorite in the Keto Chow community!
Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
Casseroles tend to reheat really well—including this one that uses pork rinds for a super crispy and tasty topping.
Pressure Cooker Taco Soup
Pressure cookers make easy and quick work of soups, and the leftovers just get better over the next few days.
Salisbury Steak Meatloaf
Meat loaf is another keto-friendly option for lunch. It will reheat well and is easy to pack to take with you to the office.
Chicken Broccoli Casserole
…with plenty of cauliflower rice for a creamy, easy lunch.
Braised Chuck Roast with Veggies
Another weeknight-friendly dinner that will leave you with leftovers for a fantastic lunch.
Spicy Taco Tamale Pie
Savory pies aren’t super popular choices for a lunch, but bring a slice or two with you to work and it will quickly become a favorite to put into your regular meal rotation.
Broccoli Cheese Soup
Plenty of veggies and nutrients in a creamy, craveable soup? That’s what we call a win-win.
Keto Chili
This is a favorite especially just as the weather starts to cool down—or for anyone who works in an office that is always approximately 20 degrees below freezing all the time.
Tuscan Chicken
Another protein-rich dish that reheats quickly so you can make the most of your lunch break.

Classic for a reason.
