Hi all! I was just wondering what everyone was having for lunch?
I am having Brown Rice with Shrimp in a garlic butter sauce...
Simple, Yummy and EASY! Very filling and only approx. 400-450 calories!
(My diary said 436 calories for this meal!)

I put everything together in a bowl the night before...

Microwave for approx. 1-1/2 - 2 minutes (till hot and butter is melted)
*25 frozen small shrimp- deviened/no tails (approx)
*1 Tbsp butter (real butter, not margerine)
*1 Tbsp EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
*1 Tbsp minced Garlic
*garlic salt with parsley (to taste)

Add 1 container of ready rice and stir. I use Uncle Ben's ready rice cups- whole grain brown rice... just microwave for 60 seconds!

Enjoy!

    Mmm I have Chicken Pad Thai as leftovers, using Shirataki noodles....:tongue: there are so many shirataki recipes on the web and I bought a ton. With this recipe, it is only 133 cal per serving (the original recipe is about 148 cal per serving, but I minimized my chicken and veggies in the recipe). It is so good, the last time I made it, I brought it to work and my co-worker REALLY loved it.

    For lunch today i had a 3 egg omelette (2 whites, one yolk) with sautéed orange bell peppers and 75% fat free cheddar cheese by CABOT. I used a little bit of extra virgin olive oil to cook it in.
    Turned out good.... i was very satisfied and full.

    7 medium shrimp cooked in chili garlic sauce, lime juice, and chili oil over romaine lettuce, with ruby red grapefruit for dessert. 245 calories.

    Normally I'd add more veggies to the salad, but I don't have anything else here and didn't feel like going to the store.

    1st lunch: ham & cheese on whole wheat, 17 pretzels twists, 9 grape tomatos, 2 pickles
    2nd lunch: ham & cheese on Rye

    Same answer for Tue - Fri, but swapping out ham with turkey and roast beef occasionally.
