    Lunch is homemade vegetable soup with ground turkey (thank you crock pot) with fruit for snack. If I get really sugar crave-y there's an emergency Larabar in my desk.

    I bring my lunch to work every day. A sandwich is routine for me but I add other items with it which can be reviewed on my food diary. For today:

    Sara Lee light wheat hamburger bun, 2 slices of lean Oscar Mayer Turkey Breast, 1 slice 2% american cheese,
    a small amount of Hellman's light mayo.
    Snack and or during lunch: Sabra Hummus with pretzels, the roasted red pepper variety
    one 11oz Premier Protein Strawberries and Cream flavor which has 30g of protein and 160 calories - great new flavor if you have not tried it....great protein supplement to get me to my goal protein intake....
    and...a small cup of Jello Sugar Free Black Cherry jello in case I need something else.

    Have a great day!

    Typically I bring some leftover dinner for my lunch. Today, the snack is watermelon! Delicious but, sadly, this is probably the last watermelon of the season.

    I also like cheese sticks, pretzels and Maria biscuits. You can find them in the cookie aisle or, the Mexican or international foods section. They are kind of like vanilla wafers and fantastic with tea or coffee.

    A great sandwich trick is to use plain nonfat yogurt instead of mayo or other sandwich spread. Sometimes, you don't even need cheese on the sandwich.

    I'm enjoying seeing what everyone else has packed for lunch! My lunch is a kale-brussels sprouts- broccoli salad with pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries and poppyseed dressing (it's a salad kit from Costco), and I have a few slices of turkey pastrami.

    Breakfast was pistachios, raisins and coffee.

    I do have some multigrain tortilla chips and a box of Zone Perfect bars in my desk drawer for a snack if I'm hungry later. And I'm trying to drink lots of water today.

    I love mason jar salads. I make a a weeks work on Sunday and can grab and go every day. I didn't used to be a big salad person and I still don't know that I am really...I make a few salads that I love. Chicken Caesar, Buffalo Chicken and Taco mostly. Sometimes I try something else but these are salads I really love. Litehouse greek yogurt dressings are the best. They are about 60 calories a serving and don't compromise taste at all. They yogurt gives them that rich, creaminess without guilt.

    I keep cheese sticks at work and that's mostly what I snack on. Sometimes I'll bring coco almonds and I always have granola bars at my desk though I mainly save those for emergency breakfasts. They are a little high calorie wise for a snack for me because I snack ALL DAY. Lol.

    Don't know how well it would travel (I'm a SAHM), but my current fave lunch is a whole wheat pita with half an avocado mashed on top of it, a squirt of lime juice, a sliced hard boiled egg, and about 2 oz of sliced turkey. I eat it like a mini pizza. 360 calories, and it keeps me full for like five hours!

    For lunch: A spinach salad with pecans, cucumbers, tomato, white raisins, with a garlic vinegarette dressing. Usually there's reduced fat feta in the mix too, but I'm out at the moment.

    For snack: A banana, fiber bar, and pecans.

    All this talk of cheese in other posters' lunchboxes really makes me want some.
