    A healthy choice steamer or an Amy's burrito, or a big salad and I try to only drink water.

    Right now I'm doing the 60 calorie, no sugar added, chocolate breakfast essential packs, with 3/4 cup 2% milk, ice, half of a banana, and 1tbsp of creamy peanut butter all blended together in a blender! It tastes so good and keeps me full usually until dinner time!

    Wholewheat wrap, turkey lunch meat, lettuce tomato and little oil/vinegar, from the deli. Counting as 270 cals from MFP db. Recently changed to m/wave noodle lunches and weight loss stalled a little. So reverting back to my exact formula when I was successfully losing weight.

    Tomorrow trying a homemade similar thing. From the supermarket a flax Roll-Up (110 cals), chicken breast deli meat (50 cals), lettuce (0 cals, I dunno ) and boars head horseradish sauce (15 cals). By my calc s/b around 175 cals.

    Lunch for me has to be something light and low carb because I sit all day at work and it messes with my digestion. Plus if I have carbs they tend to make me feel sluggish and sleepy which I don't need while stuck at work. I like to make salads chock full of fresh vegetables, beans added to fill me up, maybe some avocado sliced up. Pretty boring stuff I suppose. Left overs also make for great work lunches.

    I munch on spinach salad with a hard boiled egg, a little cheese and a little balsamic vinaigrette. Oh and of course water

    I usually just like to eat something quick and easy for lunch...

    - PB and banana sandwich with some carrots or hard boiled egg
    -turkey/ham/chicken & avocado sandwich. Lots of veggies
    - egg white omelet with a piece of toast if I'm lacking on protein for that day.
    -occasionally oatmeal
    -Tuna salad, bean salad, taco salad.
    -sometimes just some fish with some crackers
    - tortilla wrap with any type of lean meat.

    Not very creative but quick and yummy!

    All winter long it's an Amy's Texas burger or a plain Quorn burger with a T or 2 of Trader Joes pepper spread and a big serving of frozen broccoli.
    Now it's something from the garden - this week mostly cabbage salads with various other veggies, a little home made tahini dressing and maybe some walnuts or cashews.

    Whatever my baby doll has prepared for me when I visit her during the weekend. Sometimes pulled pork, chicken chili, lasagna, etc. Or if I'm out of what she's prepared for me, I'll have a few cheeseburgers or an Al pastor burrito.

    I think I've eaten scrambles eggs with veggies and meat for lunch every day for like two weeks, haha. Actually it's more like scrambled veggies with eggs...:) It's very filling, I recommend it.
