    The following has been my go-to for the past couple weeks, not tired of it yet!

    1 Tuna Creations pouch, lemon pepper (80) or spicy thai chili (90)
    4 Carrs Table Water crackers (56) or 2 Rye Krisp crackers (50)
    1 medium tomato, sliced (25)
    1/2 medium cucumber, sliced (17)
    1 slice vidalia onion (9)
    sprinkled liberally with Everything Bagel seasoning (10-20)
    197 calories +/-

    OR, as others have said, a can of many Campbells or Progresso soups.

    Much like others have stated in this thread, I usually do the same few items...

    1. Tuna (Find low calorie bread or wrap)
    2. Cottage cheese (I often add fruits or veggies)
    3. Salad (I usually just buy the premade kits for tracking purposes)

    Ideas for you: Open Face Reuben. Toast 1/2 Thomas brand bagel thin. Top with 2 oz Carl Budding Corn Beef, 1 tablespoon of Kraft Lite Thousand Island Dressing, and 2 tablespoons of drained Sauerkraut. (Total 185 Calories).

    This is something right up my alley. May have to do this!

    I have a dairylea or laughing cow triangle on 4 crispbreads for lunch which is 165 calories.

    I have porridge with skimmed milk and water which is 50 calories for every 10g of oats and 30ml of skimmed milk.

    I have a yogurt at 85 calories.

    I have a salad of lettuce, mushroom, white cabbage and cucumber for 60 calories or so depending on my exact portion size. I do not like dressing so do not have to worry about that and just season with onion powder and black pepper. Add a whole can of tuna for around 140 calories more.

    Another favourite of mine is strawberries with a dollop of yogurt which can be between 100 and 200 calories depending on the portion size.

    I also like canned minestrone soup which is 154 calories.


    I list some of what I eat for under 200 calories and someone disagrees?????? Er..... that's just dumb. :D
