I'm looking for any ideas for quick and healthy lunches. I am allergic to nuts. Any new recipes or ideas are welcomed. Trying to follow 1500 calories a day

    I only get the meals with the lowest sodium, calorie and carbs.

    I also have sandwiches on lower carb, calorie breads, 1 slice of meat and cheese but lots of lettuce and tomato and skip the mayo and mustard.
