    On the weekend, I grill or broil a couple boneless/skinless chicken breasts, freeze them and then reheat them with Green Giant boxed vegetables. Also sandwiches, left overs or frozen lean cuisine or smart ones pasta dishes. I always add a salad or soup on the side.

    I bought one of the desktop crockpots to heat my lunch at my desk and avoid the lines for the microwaves. I highly recommend one!

    special K has some really good breakfast sandwiches for 240 calories a piece ... and then I just add apples or yogurt etc.

    I like the salads at Which Wich. My fav is 220 calories. Black Bean Patty Bowl with Spinach, Avocado, Carmelized onions, Mushrooms, Tomatoes and Cucumbers. Then add your dressing. I like Honey Mustard. Lots of fiber and veggies in that one! It keeps me super full all day at work!

    I also like to bring raw veggies and hummus and have them along side these little souffles from Costco called Garden Lites. Those are only 150-170 calories each.

    It's not a bad idea to eat more calories than that at lunch, but that's what works for me. And it leaves a little cushion for a treat like dessert or a glass of wine with dinner.

    This needs more ideas and to keep the thread going:
    I do an avocado w/ a lime and some chile sauce.
    I make sandwich thin w/ roast beef and some horseradish dip light sour cream/yourt
    Always an egg
    Tuna or egg salad either w/ a sandwich thin or just lettuce w/ fat free mayo or yogurt or only 1tbsp of regular mayo
    My gallon bag of vegetables
    A piece of fruit
    Thermos of some kind of soup...last one was lentil yum!
    Cottage cheese w/ tomatoes
    Cucumbers w/ light sour cream and yogurt
    mini pizzas on a sandwich thin w/ mozzarella, turkey pep, veggies, and some spaghetti sauce
    Dinner left over, I ususally dont do this because my dinner is the most caloric rich meal
    Chicken salad w/ fat free mayo or yogurt or 1tbsp of regular mayo
    Veggie patty your choice of fixins sometime bbq sauce, or a taziki, or hot sauce on a sandwich thin or just lettuce

    Keep the great ideas coming...

    Grill veggies [spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, etc] with fat free feta cheese, sometimes I add tofu and a low cal, low carb flat bread

    1/2 cup cereal with milk and side of fruit

    cottage cheese and 5 or 6 stacey's pita chips and a fruit


    combine red chopped cabbage, some lime juice and greek yogurt with pita chips or crackers

    hard boiled egg, fruit and chopped veggies like peppers, carrots or cucumbers

    :smile: I agree- everyone's suggestions are helping me to expand what I eat. It's funny how you just continue to make the same thing until you hear ideas. This was a great question!
