Trying to make time for a nutritious lunch during the workday can feel like a losing battle.<\/p>\n

Between meetings, deadlines and a never-ending stream of emails, many of us give in to the convenience of fast fare \u2014 or worse, skip the meal<\/a> altogether.<\/p>\n

But no matter your schedule, a balanced lunch deserves to be a priority. \u201cFood is a biological need,\u201d Maya Feller, a dietitian nutritionist in New York City, said, \u201cand I know that sounds straightforward, but we all behave as if it\u2019s not.\u201d<\/p>\n

When you skimp on lunch, your blood sugar dips. That zaps your energy, focus and stamina, said Lina Begdache, a dietitian nutritionist and associate professor of health and wellness studies at the State University of New York at Binghamton. And low blood sugar takes your mood \u201cfrom happy and motivated to hangry and stressed out,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

So how can you make time for lunch? And what should you be eating? We asked nutrition experts for their strategies \u2014 and asked our colleagues at New York Times Cooking for some winning recipes that you can easily prepare in advance.<\/p>\n
