I NEED 400 CALORIE LUNCH IDEAS AND SNACK IDEAS.
There was a great post for breakfast ideas. I am TRYING to eat better and one way that is working, for now, is to somewhat eat the same thing every day (because I already know the calories and it works better at sticking to my calorie goal-not because I am boring). My easiest is breakfast:
kashi blueberry cereal with skim with a banana or a piece of pumpernickel bread with olivio
dinner is usually what I make the family, but without all the extras and more salad for me than usual....
It is lunch that is killing me. I am at home from the dreaded 3pm snack craze SO if I eat a better lunch, maybe I won't feel hungry by 4:00.

I don't have any grand ideas but why not have a snack at 3 or 4?
I sometimes have lunch between 12-1 and then eat a small snack around 3 or 4.
it does not have to be a high cal snack but something like an apple or orange can really hol dyou over until dinner.0
