Pack Your Lunch Day

You are less likely to be tempted by unhealthy foods in the canteen if purchasing your lunch. When you pack your lunch, you won't be tempted by the unhealthy options at the cafeteria. If you are buying your lunch, it can be hard to always turn down the junk.

Truthfully, the decision depends on the preferences of your family. If you'd like to control what your child eats, and you have a few minutes to spare, then packing lunch could be a better choice. If you'd rather rely on the menu at your child's school and forgo dirty dishes, buying lunch is the way to go.

If you are already investing the time to cook, you might as well make enough food to get you through several meals.
