You should probably tell us what your lunch calorie goal is.

If you are aiming for 400-500 it is going to be a different choice then if you are aiming for 800-900

Apply your cheat day and enjoy. Or I would suggest you pick from the following...Remember, you can indulge and just have a bite of something but these options looked healthy...and likely to fit into your calorie budget
seasonal vegetable soup
market greens, baby beets, haricot vert, radishes, dill, black olive vinaigrette
seared yellowfin tuna BLT - leave the bread
3 soft fish tacos
ratatouille risotto(summer vegetables, roasted eggplant puree, carnaroli rice, crispy summer squash)
sauteed spinach with garlic

^^^ I always plan my calories around events. You don't even need for it to be your cheat day. I goe 100 cals under the day before and plan to go under 100 or so cals the next day. My main meal is the event, and I eat healthy my other two meals. I also go out of my way to drink more water before and after
