    I might have some chicken soup with extra turkey cut up and hard boiled egg whites in it. I am running later, otherwise I would have a huge salad!

    I'm having some chicken noodle soup from Wegmans. It's actually delicious and only 200 calories for the whole thing.

    I have a couple small baked Yukon Gold potatoes that I'm going to mash up a bit and add a tiny amount of very sharp cheddar (a little goes a long way)--my healthier version of cheesy mashed potatoes. I also have some Old Wisconsin Turkey Snack pieces--good protein and flavor, but lower fat. My dessert will be some homemade, no sugar added applesauce. Nom!!

    I'm eating over 3 times the calories in the form of a delicious salad with turkey, lots of toppings and tons of ranch dressing. Don't mess with my ranch!

    What sounds good? A green curry or a big salad with strips of beef and Thai spices. I have been craving Thai food!

    But what I'm actually having is this:

    "salad" made of frozen peas, chopped boiled egg, diced onion, olive oil mayo, spicy mustard, bit of diced mozzarella & black pepper.
    reduced fat wheat thin crackers
    baby carrots
    sugar free orange gelatin with mandarin oranges, shredded coconut & a few walnut pieces

    It's tuna, hard boiled eggs, and cottage cheese for me! With flax on top, of course.

    Because I'm always in such a hurry in the mornings, I usually cook up a big pot of something on Sundays and parse it out over the week. This week it was Quinoa & Black Bean Chili. Though today I'm having leftover dijon/thyme crusted pork tenderloin (from last night's dinner) with a lentil salad and brown rice.

    Next week's lunches will probably be from the big pot of minestrone I plan to cook up this weekend.

    Home-made veg soup. I roasted a LOAD of veg at the weekend and blitzed it with some stock. This particular batch included:

    garlic (lots of)
    carrots
    leeks
    potatoes
    swede, and
    celeriac

    and came in at 296 calories for a large bowlful, including the oil I roasted the veg in to begin with.

    How's that?

    shredded bbq pork tenderloin that i made in the crock pot Saturday and top with cheese. Been eating on it for lunch all week and still not tired of it. Along with some Indiana Popcorn w/sea salt, applesauce, grapes, and one of the banana chocolate chip muffins I just made (applesauce instead of butter!). Those muffins are so dense and give me the sweet kick I need.

    Everything sounds good, that's why I'm fat. hehehehe

    Seriously, my go-to lunch, because I'm busy in the office, is something I bring on Mondays and if I don't eat leftovers, I have a whole wheat tortilla, tomato slices, a handful of romaine, and a slice of cheese.
