Bulk out salad?

Alexa1471

Ok I'm posting a few foody topics!! Sorry!

I like salad with for my lunch, usually follwed by an apple and a smoothie and something sweet (See my sweet tooth thread!) I usually feel ok but I never reach my calorie target for the day and I'm scared of going into starvation mode. So i figured I should bulk out my salad (May even reduce the need for my something sweet)

What could I bulk it out with? I though of couscous?

Tuna, egg, chicken, salmon, humous, couscous... yum

An example salad is like watercress with Ham or chicken.

I should probably put peppers or something in it too but don't like tomatoes, cucumber and some other salads!!!!

walnuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, pine nuts or almond sprinkles

Sunflower seeds, shredded cheese, croutons, raisens, craisens, bacon bits! If you have the extra calories might as well doctor it up good!! yum

My personal favorite that I make at home….
Baby Spinach
Pepperjack or Mozzarella Cheese
Turkey Pepperoni (or Turkey Bacon)
Hard Boiled Egg
Blackened Salmon
Kens – Healthy – Roasted Red Pepper Italian Dressed (45 calories for two tables spoons)

I can stay within my calories and feel VERY full. Plus, the protein you get from the Salmon really helps with your muscles if you are working out/strength training frequently.
