I am unable to leave my desk for longer than a few minutes. I need lunch ideas. I like keeping my lunch calories under 200 and pretty good amount of protein since i eat alot of small meals through out the day Any ideas???????

    Ooops sorry, just re-read and seen that you eat many small meals.

    1 cup of Lowfat cottage cheese and 1 cup of the diced peaches with splenda. Also makes a good breakfast if your not in the mood for something hot. The cottage cheese and the peaches come in individual serving containers that make it easy to pack. 220 cals & 23 grams protein.

    I also do the new flat round wheat breads with a wedge of the laffing cow spreadable cheese instead of mayo and a few slices of the lowfat shaved ham. Quick and easy and also works for breakfast. Toasted or not. About 158 cals & 12 grams protein.

    Just a couple of the things I've been doing lately. :smile:

    I make a huge plate of salad most days...2 cups of lettuce, hard-boiled egg, carrots, bacon bits and 2 tbsp of Kraft fat free Italian...all around 150 cals or so! Maybe 170, I can't remember. But I finish that off and follow it with a cup or 2 of water and I'm full! :)

    Try Quinoa its very filling and tastes really good add some cucumbers or broccoli 1 cup is about 210 calories . Its very high in protein also. Google it if never heard of it. You can eat it cold or hot.
