    La Tortilla Factory wraps (they're something like 100 cals, 10g fiber and 8 protein) stuffed with seared ahi tuna (leftovers from dinner!), julienned carrots and cucumber, sprouts, and mixed greens, topped with pickled ginger, sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lemon.

    I drink a can of soup nearly every day.

    Heat it in a pot, no spoon, I grab the handle and drink it.

    If I'm in a pinch, I'd probly drink it directly from the can.

    I'm wiley.

    I want my lunch to be relatively low calorie (I like to eat later in the day) but filling so I don't snack in the afternoon. When I pack a lunch for work, I like to eat a meal replacement bar plus a fruit or veggie. Super easy and I know for sure I'm getting fiber, protein and other nutrients. When I eat a home, I'll either try to use up some leftovers or I have soup, salad and a side like cottage cheese, yogurt, fruit, veggies, a half sandwich, crackers with hummus or Laughing Cow cheese, etc. I try to make my own soup so I know the sodium levels aren't through the roof and I can pack it with veggies. Occasionally I'll have a frozen meal, but I'm very particular about it.

    Hi there,

    I like to take naturally portable things, or things I throw into a baggie.
    Some of things will require a little bit of prep, but most won't!


    Fruits- apples, oranges, bananas, grapes...
    Veggies- baby carrots, celery sticks, bell pepper slices...
    Nuts- almonds, walnuts, pecans, peanuts...
    Lean protein- grilled chicken breast, turkey patties, hard boiled eggs, string cheese, yogurt...
    Water- bring bottled water with you or even cans of calorie-free and salt-free seltzer water...
    Veggie juice- V8...

    Happy eating!
