    On Sunday's I try and prep my lunches. If I have chicken, lettuce, and veggies then I make a few salads and put them in to-go containers. I also bring turkey sandwiches on bagel thins with veggies as a side. Not gonna lie sometimes I have a snack bag of chips with them.

    I love leftovers. I love having chili, soups, or hotdishes as well.

    I also have a whole area in our work fridge where I have pineapple, apples, clementines, yogurt, etc. I bring in a bunch of stuff and leave it here. We have a small enough office that I don't have to worry about people eating my food.

    one of my all time favorites : turkey pepperonis and a cheese stick = 150 calories you can have 17 pepperonis for 70 calories or up it to a 20 for around 100 calories. I eat the WW cheese sticks that are only 50 calories. if you want you could add some low calorie crackers but I like the Kelloggs Sea salt cracker chips :)

    That's totally what I do! I also find that if I pack my lunch bag the night before with my snacks and everything, I am much more likely to just stay on track for the day! I also do all of my tracking in the morning or the night before and then make adjustments later. That way I know what kind of leeway I have for the day and I tend to not cheat or feel deprived at all.

    Spahgetti Squash it is really easy to make I belive it is about 45 calories. I like to use marinara sauce, and cheese, add tomatos it easy to make, different and pretty healthy.

    There are actually some pretty good lean cuisines, smart ones, healthy choice etc meals out there. I have been sticking to them lately and I have always met my numbers that way. :)

    Okay... I give up. What is the bump for? It obviously means something but I guess I have no clue? :smile:

    They're bumping it up to the top of their Message Boards in order to remember to look at it again later. Took me awhile to figure it out too!

    My go to lunch is hummus, crackers, fresh veggies for dipping (like carrots and sugar snap peas), an orange, and a greek yogurt. I eat that most days and it's easy and keeps me full and not a huge calorie killer!
