As I sit here on my lunch break munching on cottage cheese and steamed asparagus and surfing MFP for inspiration I wonder... What are you having for lunch?

Happy Monday!

    I'm supposed to be going for lunch with a friend. It's her turn to pick and pay so I have no idea where we're going.

    lettuce, tomato, onion, green pepper, and honey mustard and a whole wheat wrap - probably with pineapple or watermelon or an orange for dessert. :)

    It is already warm here, so salad!

    About 1.5 cups baby field greens
    some cut up cauliflower and red pepper
    4 olives
    1 oz. feta cheese
    (the above is my default salad base)
    today, I have about 3oz. leftover salmon as the protein; tomorrow it will be hard boiled eggs.

    No dressing - the olives, cheese and salmon add enough flavor and healthy fats.

    My partner can eat this salad everyday, usually with turkey lunch meat.

    taco salad :love: (no shell)

    First - thanks for the topic, I too am looking for some lunch time inspiration. Last week I had reduced sodium turkey with low fat swiss all week which worked great for my nutritional anc calloric needs but I'm board with it now.

    Taco salad! Thanks for the reminder of this tasty lunch dish - I'm now going to make taco salad this week with ground turkey, tomatoes, black beans, corn, reduced fat cheese and a lime vinegrette (no chips). Great inspiriation.

    I also made some great baked beans with no added fat and love lentil salad with French green lentils. I'm usually pretty creative with my lunches. I cook a lot and enjoy it. Marinated beet salad, vegetable soups with homemade low fat and low sodium chicken broth, wild rice or barley. If I could find a low sodium ham, I love ham, swiss and arugula in 1/2 a pita with lowfat mayo and dijon.

    Can't wait to hear the other creative ideas.

    an entire 4 serving bag of birds eye steamed cauliflower with garlic seasonings. Mash 'em up, add two laughing cow cheese wedges and some I cant believe it's not butter butter spray and you have a massive bowl of 250 delicious calories :wink:
