I'm sick of eating out at work. Obviously its not helping me and quite frankly, I think I'm getting sick from it.

So, I was wondering. Does anyone out there have any easy sandwich based recipes for a terrible cook to make?

Greatly appreciated.

    Does it have to be a sandwich. There are dozens of great healthy microwaveable meals including Lean Cuisine and Weight Watchers Smart Ones which have less calories and are just as satisfying. Or try salads, , soups, stews or baked potatoes with healthier toppings.

    Not sure if these would be up your alley, but they're the kind I make most!

    Sweet sandwich: Modified PB & J
    (I have eaten it for breakfast as well a few times now)

    -2 slices of Ezekiel bread
    -2 Tbsp of apricot all-fruit preserves with fiber
    -2 Tbsp of Barney's Almond Butter, smooth kind

    Savory: Ham and Avocado Sub

    -wheat light hot dog roll
    -lower sodium sliced deli ham
    -a few slices of fresh avocado
    -reduced fat cheese
    -shredded lettuce

    Lean Cuisines, Smart Ones, etc. are filled with preservatives and other garbage. Better off having a sandwich.

    Sandwiches don't require cooking - just get some bread, meat, veggie, and whatever sauce you want, done. Add cheese if you want. I use high fiber bread, chipotle sandwich spread, alfalfa sprouts, and whatever deli meat I got that week.

    Boar's Head - Deli Sliced Mesquite Smoked Turkey,
    Goldens mustard
    Generic - Red Bell Pepper Slices or Rings, 1 slices


    Then I have as Chobany mini-yogurt or apple for dessert.

    This was my very satisfying sandwich yesterday:

    one Oroweat sandwich thin, toasted
    2.7 oz can tuna
    1 hard-boiled egg, chopped
    1 tablespoon Best Foods Canola mayonnaise
    1 tablespoon pickle relish

    Mix it all together (there was actually some left over, which I ate with a fork! :-) It was delish, and only 300 calories.
