When I used to bring packed lunches to the office, I could easily eat more healthily, since I ate what I packed and that was it. Unlike now, where I have a home office and I can rummage through the pantry, eating snacks and extras instead of making a proper meal. However, I've been making an effort to stop that and the only way I can find success is if the meal is quick and easy to make.
I like simple recipes that combine a good amount of protein and vegetables. What I like about this recipe is that you are getting some good omega fats and protein with the tuna plus lots of nutrients and crunch from the cucumber and bean sprouts. I really love crunch in my meals. The dressing gives a nice acid kick, sriracha for the heat and wrap it up in a whole wheat tortilla and we have that quick and easy recipe I'm talking about.
