I feel SO in control lately. Today I was craving bread and I refuse to completely cut things out if I want a healthier life style. So I made an open face sandwich with tuna and spinach (homemade paleo mayo), side of avocado, and a whole bunch of berries. What did you guys eat??

    homemade chicken salad (craisins, curry powder, little mayo and lots of non-fat greek yogurt). less than 200 cals and 24ish g of protein. Also had a fruit salad of watermelon, strawberries, fresh chopped basil, pepper and salt - sounds weird but tastes nomnomnom

    well, I left my lunch at home. I refuse to go across the street to McDonald's or Taco Bell. So I wound up drinking Green tea and eating 20 peanut M&Ms.202 calories. lol I don't recommend it, but it was better than nothing. lol

    I had to work earlier than planned, so I didn't have time to pack a lunch. Went to Subway. Bacon, egg white and cheese flatbread with green peppers. Not too bad overall, but I could have done better with my own lunch.

    1 cup of homemade black beans, 1/2 an avocado, a couple of good sized beets, some raw mixed veggies, cherries, and a La Croix sparkling water.

    I also have sandwiches frequently which means bread...don't know why bread get such a bum wrap...it can be a perfectly acceptable part of an overall healthy and balanced diet.

    You just don't like them? You could get a salad or wrap from McDonalds's or a crunchy taco from Taco Bell. Better than M&Ms for lunch in my opinion. I need real food for lunch not just candy.

    I had homemade chili, light string cheese and blueberries for lunch today.

    Today for lunch I had a big bowl of delicious soup my husband made. It included white beans, kale, carrots, onion & spices. Afterward I made smoothies out of steamed apples, almond milk, peanut butter, flaxseed & cinnamon.

    Leftovers, which is pretty usual as I always cook an extra portion at night.

    Today was brown rice, marinara sauce, chicken, zucchini, mushrooms and spinach.

    Omnom.

    That sounds awesome! I also get sad when I take the last bite of something really yummy! Like last week when I made a grilled provolone, tomato and avacado sandwich! I almost cried when I took the last bite. Back in the day, I would've just made another one.....
