Favorite lunches <300 cals

[Michele]

Tuna or salmon or chicken salad with crackers...that way the bread doesn't get soggy.

I've made it before without mayo...using salad dressing...and you can add any veggies/fruits you want.

I also added a tbsp of wheat germ...but also considered adding that dissolvable fiber stuff.

I'm not very creative with healthy foods.

I don't know where it ends up calorie wise, but I've made tuna salad with olive oil and lots of lemon juice. I figure it has to be better than mayo. Salad dressing is a good idea too. If you brought it in a container with bread and lettuce you could assemble it at lunch time or do crackers. Add some carrots and celery sticks and bell pepper for fiber.

Hummus and crackers and veggies. Ummmm...it's hard to come up with a good rotation.

Frozen veggie burger on half a whole wheat english muffin and a schmear of mustard, topped with a piece of lettuce and a tomato.

Less than 300. I hate being hungry. Lunch is when I'm hungriest. What about a lighter dinner and a heavier lunch? I'm sorry, I'm telling you to eat more. I know I'm no help!!!

I do this for breakfast some days but it could work for lunch. I get high fiber whole wheat bread (at least 3g of fiber per slice) and use a tablespoon of peanut butter on it. If you want a PB&J, you could use some low-sugar jam. It's a good mix of fiber, fat and protein so it helps keep me satiated until lunch. I just use one slice but for lunch I would probably make a sandwich and you could keep all those things in the company's fridge.

Also the Amy's Organic line has some >300 calorie items that are also low in sodium. I haven't tried those in particular but like some of the other dishes and find them really filling.
