    I had Progress Light Veggie & Noodles Soup with a Whole Wheat Turkey Sandwich with Roasted Red Pepper Hummus instead of Mayo. Yumm. Spicy sandwiches are awesome!

    With all the water I've been pounding, I'm sooooo full!

    I gave up the frozen veggies and 1/2 can of tuna I was doing for 6+ months b/c tuna 5x day probably isn't safe and with all the carbs in the veggies I would rather have bread.

    My current lunch: Whole wheat bread w/ 2 tbsp Kraft Natural PB and 1 tbsp sugar-free President’s Choice Blue Menu raspberry jam. This helps me get close to my daily fat goal as normally I only have 10g of fat a day when it should be 30, protein keeps me full and bread keeps me happy still staying within 50% carbs a day.

    mashed potatoe w/o gravy
    green beans
    mean greens
    2 original drumsticks
    chicken livers
    diet pepis

    My dinner will be lighter and I will burn some calories. I think my lunch was 650 claories.

    today - home made split pea soup -

    I usually make a few types of soups and freeze them in portions -- my husband and kids can grab one for work/school and I always have lunch made (and I can control the sodium etc.)

    currently in rotation are split pea soup (223 cals), home made carrot soup (77cals) and home made tomato soup (61 cals) per 1 cup - usually paired with a light yoghurt & a fruit (banana or royal gala apple - i am not a big fruit fan ....)

    An apple dipped in strawberry yogurt and I split a grilled chicken breast then topped with mozzarella cheese and turkey pepperoni then toasted! YUM it's a protein packed pizza with no carbs! lol If you can have a toaster oven at work I highly recommend it, it keeps me on track so much better than just a microwave!

    Spinach salad (with apple, blue cheese crumbles, red onion and balsamic dressing), carrots (sometimes instead of carrots I have crackers: I crave a crunch) and 5 oz of low sodium V8..... typical work lunch for me.
