    Some lightened up lasagna =)

    Okay.....so it's still 430 cals....but that's pretty good right?


    Whole wheat noodles, chicken sausage, roasted peppers, skim ricotta, and a asiago bechemel made with skim milk instead of mozzarella. And homemade tomato sauce.

    I say thats fabulous! Its not ALL about calories.. It can be better for you depending whats IN your lunch!

    whole wheat noodles? chicken sausage? check! roasted peppers? check! skim ricotta? check! asiago made with skim milk? check! AND homemade tomato sauce? check check!

    In my eyes, youre the bomb! lol

    Thank you! I have a complex about Italian food. Probably because eating too much of it is what put me on the weight loss track to begin with ;-) I have a serious weakness for cheese covered carbs....but don't we all....lol

    I had a turkey sandwich with a 1/2 T of light miracle whip and some broccoli slaw mix. Pretty boring but I wasn't in the mood for a big lunch.

    K, this maybe weird but I LOVE brussels sprouts and was feeling awfully lazy today so I made half a bag of frozen spouts and ate them with just salt and pepper and for my protein/dessert I had a greek yogurt. Lack luster, I know. : )

    My lunches are usually somewhere around 300 calories. I eat a light lunch because I like to have a big dinner. You can portion your calories throughout the day to suit your schedule and preferences. As long as you are within your calorie alotment when you eat doesn't matter.

    Left over spinach quiche. I made it myself with egg beaters, spinach, onions, red peppers, and 2% milk. I put a tablespoon of artichoke-pepperoncini spread but otherwise no other cheese. I love homeade quiche that I don't need to feel quilty about eating. I am on a mission to perfect a carrot crust to make it extra yummy! Add two clementines and some water to round it out and I am in heaven instead of trying to get thru my first day back at work.

    PITA PIT IS MY <word that rhymes with pit>

    Seriously I get a tasty, fresh lunch loaded with veggies that's only 355 calories. There's just no beating that!

    Our little town just got a Pita Pit, but I definitely agree. I looked up the calorie count on my sandwich (hummus, spinach, tomato, onion and cucumber on wheat) when I got back and it was only 315!! And it was delicious and very filling.

    I get so jealous of places that aren't Mississippi. Some day I'll see a Pita Pit and a Whole Foods and a Trader Joe's in real life.... :tongue:

    I have a new found love for corn tortillas... my lunch today is chicken fajita tacos on corn tortillas, with pepperjack cheese, lettuce, black bean pico and salsa! Yes, I am in love.

    Curious to know what others are eating today?? :)

    I love doing quesadillas that are stuffed with carmalized onions, bella mushrooms, swiss cheese and A1 sauce. Soooooooooo good!

    But for lunch today I had leftovers bento-style. Check my MFP blog if you really want to know heh.
