Mixed greens, boiled egg, carrots, mushrooms, and chicken breast. Yummy!

What's yours?

    1/2 cup brown rice, 1/2 cup red kidney beans, 1 frozen veggie burger and a 1/2 tsp of olive oil. Heat them separately then mix them all up and season with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. So good! Depending on the brands you use, it comes out to be 300 calories and its very filling :-)

    Healthy Pizza

    High fiber, low carb torilla
    3T Newmans own Marinara
    red onion
    1/2 cup chopped broccoli
    1-2 oz (depending on how I'm doing on calories) part skim mozzarella cheese
    Sea salt and Cracked pepper

    = 269 calories

    I have this almost everyday for lunch and just change up the topping- spinach and artichokes yesterday!

    No, I am at home for lunch. I make in the oven 450 degrees for 10 minutes, but if your office kitchen has a toaster oven I bet that would work! I don't think I'd try the microwave!

    150 calories: Turkey and cheese sandwich on 35 calorie whole grain bread
    130 Calories: Reduced fat cheez-its, 1 serving
    60 Calories: Small Apple/similar fruit
    10 Calories: Sugar free Jello cup

    350 Total Calories

    I know it's not the 230 calorie lunches that some have posted, but it's still very low cal, and it covers my sweet tooth and salt cravings without going overboard. Plus I always feel full afterwards. :)

    They are great and the portion size for 110 calories is huge. They satisfy my salty crunchy tooth (teeth, more like).

    My lunch today will be around 700 calories because I am ordering Erberts and Gerberts. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm the Girf is so yummy!
  • Today mines a store bought chicken burger with a pudding and gatorade, total cals: 480 (not great but I'm doing higher calorie lunches so I eat a moderate size dinner and won't snack so much)

    Normally my lunches have been 350 calories or less with frozen meals or left overs.

    i put the cheese, turkey and spinach on both halves of the english muffin and ate them like two separate sandwiches instead of putting them together! tricks me into thinking i'm eating more :)

    3 oz. extra-firm tofu, 1.5 heads of broccoli, one carrot, onion and garlic, all stir-fried together and topped with two heaping spoonfuls of chili-garlic rooster sauce. A HUGE bowl for around 200 cals!
