I have a dinner to go to tonight where i'll be enjoying a few glasses of wine! I know I'll be over for today but the party is worth it!!

Thing is I'd like to have a healthy low calorie lunch but know if I have a salad I'll be drunk on one glass of wine! Don't want to embarass myself! In the old days I'd have had lots of bread...

Any ideas?

    Don't worry about lunch, have a snack just before you go out. Bread IS good, but if you're avoiding it, how about a yoghurt or some cottage cheese - dairy foods are supposed to be good.

    Have a salad with some black and garbanzo beans on it. Beans are very very filling, and an amazing source of protien. Or you could make a bean wrap with lettuce, low cal turkey, black beans and some type of healthy dressing in side of a sandwich wrap thingy. Good luck!

    I would go for veg and lentil soup for lunch and then for a snack before you a go a pot of natural yogurt or something?

    Eggs or egg whites really fill me up. I like a boiled egg with a little horseradish on it.

    Last Friday I was in the same boat going out for an evening meal. For lunch I had a salad with a mini pitta bread and that was only 203 cals and then one hour before I went out I had a mullerice light mini pot which was only 107 calories, I was fine then until the meal which was 4 hours after the mullerice and blew the rest of my calories on the Indian I was having.
