Going to have some type of Campbell's soup for lunch what is a good low cal option to go with it? I need something to help me feel full all afternoon. I plan on running 3-4 miles after work and will eat a banana before my run.

    Maybe a can of tuna? I usually eat that with soup and some salad (no dressing or very little vinegar).

    What kind of soup? I find that soup is great for taking up space in my stomach without being totally satisfying, which leaves me feeling both stuffed and starving. The solution is to make sure to have some protein in there.

    How about a Larabar? They are pretty good and will give you the protein needed for the run.

    I had progresso loaded potato soup (the low calorie one it's 100 cal per serving and I eat the whole can so it was 200cal) with a 60 cal pita toasted with parm cheese sprinkled on top. the whole meal was 285 calories and I was full till late afternoon.

    Protein. Any kind of protein usually helps me feel full longer and suops usually don't have enough.

    I had soup yesterday with rolled up low sodium deli turkey slices and a tablespoon of guacamole. Full and satisfied until late afternoon.

    I like the old Ploughman's Lunch, I have some bread or whole wheat crackers, some cheese and an apple with my soup.

    Cashews or almonds and some munchy fruit like sliced apples.

    Anything Campbells has tons of salt, BTW. In fact, any store bought soup.

    I had homemade butternut squash soup, a Morningstar garden veggie patty and an apple. This will keep me satisfied until late afternoon then I will have some homemade pear sauce.

    I have been making the following using a can of soup to keep for the week. This adds the extra protein that I was looking for and still is low cal:

    1 can minestrone (or vegetable soup)
    1 can corn
    1 can green beans (you can use mixed veggies or whatever pleases you)
    1 can diced tomatoes
    1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
    1 can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

    I use all low to no sodium contents. Today I had a protein bar with it but it varies, a salad, tuna, fruit...
