High-protein
lunchbox builder.

How the lunchbox builder works

Choose a lunchbox style, the size of your container and how much protein you want. The builder picks a protein, a base, vegetables, a sauce and an extra, then sizes every portion so the lunch hits your protein target and actually fits in the box. Tick the foods you already have and they are used first. Tap twice on anything you do not want and it is left out.

Make it yours

• Change any portion with the slider or the plus and minus buttons and watch the calories, protein, carbs, fat and fibre update.
• Swap a single item, lock the ones you love and shuffle the rest.
• Plan up to five different lunches for the week and get one shopping list.
• Filter for vegetarian, vegan or pescatarian diets and leave out gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, sesame or pork.

Packing tips

Cool cooked rice, grains and meat quickly and get them in the fridge within an hour. Keep dressings in a separate pot, carry your lunch with an ice pack if there is no fridge, and reheat until piping hot. Most packed lunches keep for 2 to 3 days in the fridge; fish and rice are best eaten the next day.

Frequently asked questions

How much protein should a lunch have?

Most people do well with 25 to 40 g of protein per meal. If you are building muscle or eating fewer meals, 40 to 50 g at lunch is a good target. Use the protein intake calculator to find your daily total.

Why does a small container limit my protein?

Every food takes up space. Lean, dense proteins such as chicken, tuna, tofu and Greek yoghurt pack the most protein into the least room, so choose those or a bigger box for higher targets.

Are the nutrition numbers exact?

They use typical values for cooked or ready-to-eat foods per 100 g. Brands and recipes vary, so treat them as a close guide.
