    Quick and easy lunch:

    1 cup (not packed) of 1% cottage cheese
    As many grape or cherry tomatoes as I want
    A dash of Kosher salt and pepper

    It's about 200 calories, but it fills me up until my next meal. I eat 5 small meals a day instead of 3... if you eat 3 a day, I would suggest adding a serving of corn chips (Fritos) and an orange--which would bring the calorie total up to 400-500! :smile:

    I live in the apartment complex where I work so I'm lucky to get almost all of my hour lunch to "do lunch".

    One of my favorites is a tilapia filet - I spray a little Pam in my frying pan, put salt and pepper on each side of the fish, cook for about 3 minutes on each side, then drizzle lemon juice on it. I get a side of zucchini (boils very quickly) and doesn't require anything on it.

    Tilapia = 100 calories
    Zucchini = 1/2 cup is 14 calories

    It all prepares in about 10 minutes and I've still got a good 45 minutes to eat and hang out.

    YUM!
