Hi, so I'm currently trying to lose weight by counting my calories. Yesterday I did fantastic, and today is going off to a good start. Does anyone know of any (homemade) lunch that ranges in the 300-400 calorie mark??

There are heaps.
Soups are good.
I also like Mixed Bean Salad and a small tin of tuna in brine ..
Crackabreads with Philadelphia
Greek Salad.
Depends what facilities you have I guess0 -
I'm on a pita pizza kick right now. I take a whole wheat pita & spread a very small amount of marinara sauce on, then I add 2 oz of shredded chicken breast that I seasoned with natures seasoning, a sprinkle of cheese & then cook until the cheese is melted. Comes to around 300 calories. Of course you could play around with the toppings, I think spinach could be good on it too.0

I do:
salads with either tuna or shrimp---lots of veggies and I allow myself 5 homemade croutons with balsamic vinegar not dressing
1/2 tuna sandwich with 14 stix pretzels
tuna whole wheat wrap
leftovers
progresso light soups
1 slice homemade cheese pizza with a piece of fruit0 -
Home made veggie soups are great.
Salads are the king of lunchtime low cal fullness; just make sure to include some fruit in your salad so that you get ENOUGH calories to sustain you.0 -
