    Bit of a treat today, since it's sort of junk food and didn't really fit my macros: Bachelor's Pasta 'n' Sauce (160 cals for the mix as sold) made with water and skimmed milk powder (37 cals). HUGE bowl of food for under 200 calories. I added some cheese and mushrooms to it today, but it would have been enough on its own.

    When I was working, I used to whip up a quick batch of cous cous in the morning to take in for lunch, as it was yummy hot or cold. Fried onions, meat and veggies, herbs and dried fruit, stock, cous cous and a little bit of olive oil or butter.

    I have the weirdest sandwich- Flax wrap, smoked sandwich cream cheese, egg whites, grated parm, and mixed greens.

    Sounds good to me.

    I had a peanut butter sandwich and some carrots with ranch.
  • I had a giant salad of chopped romaine, grape tomatoes, and red bell pepper with homemade thousand island dressing. And an orange.

    I stay less hungry through the day if I slowly graze so an average lunch consists of a couple of cups of bite sized celery chunks, an apple, a serving of dry fruity cheerios (just pretend you're a toddler; they're yummy - and it makes my coworkers laugh when I eat them), a serving of pretzels, and a light yogurt. I can usually nurse that for about 4 hours and not be starving when I get out of work.

    I try to make too much for dinner so that I then have leftovers to take for lunch. However, I do keep protein cookies in my desk for when I'm lazy.

    Just some carrot sticks and a bit of cucumber. I buy them in snack sized portions at a viatnemese supermarket. The portion is the size of a medium starbucks coffee cup. It makes me full and doesn't add a lot of calories :)
