What to eat with a sandwich!?
Replies

Veggie sticks and hummus/tzatziki/dip of choice. Pretzels. Green salad with cottage cheese for added protein. A piece of fruit. Cooked veggies.0

Seriously?
Beer.
Chicken Breast.
Brussels Sprouts
Cake
Carrot Cake (vegetable means healthy)
A goat.
Anything that isn't chips?
I do not understand how this is a question.0 -
Any of the things above, but maybe a cucumber salad?0

Huge BIG Sandwich fully loaded no sides.
My Mantra - runner475, GO BIG or GO Home
*** Bread is my weakness0 -
Usually I do a fruit or raw vegetable and then some sort of crunchy. Almonds, Pirate's Booty, Snikiddy puffs, pita chips, etc.0

i usually have cottage cheese!0

I still have chips, I just buy the single serve bags of them. I like chips, so why give them up? Just eat them in moderation. I had a tuna sandwich the other day, made with my fave low fat mayo, pickle, onion, and 45 calorie per slice bread - that + my 1oz bag of BBQ chips was only 299 calories. At that, you could still have veggies or soup with it!0

I was just looking for inspiration. No need to be rude about it, I realize you could eat literally anything with a sandwich. I did think your suggestion of a goat was humorous though.0 -

Does not become apparent after reading your first post twice. Now, if you wanted rude, I can help you with that.
You think the goat one is funny? A place I used to go served a grilled cheese with a coconut curry goat soup.0 -

I've ditched the sandwiches and just have salad instead.0

My lunch most days consists of a sandwich, 1/2 c plain Greek yogurt with a scoop of protein powder, and some fruit. If I have berries, I usually add them to the yogurt. Strawberries mixed in yogurt with chocolate protein powder or blueberries mixed in vanilla . . . YUMMY!

I know I can be full with the sandwich alone, but it just doesn't feel complete if I don't have at least something on the side. I am not someone who can feel satisfied with six little meals. Even eating the same total daily calories, somehow I feel deprived eating that way. I prefer to eat three larger ones.
So eat 3 larger meals. You don't have to eat 6 small ones. People eat two, or even one meal a day and are successful. Meal timing and size is a matter of preference.
I'm all for eating however many "meals" you want as well. I personally usually eat two big meals, one around 4pm, and another around 830pm. I normally like to have bigger meals in the evening simply because my self control is at it's best in the morning, and later at night I tend to want to eat more, so I've just worked it out so that I can eat more later in the day.

Anyone want to know how to make the perfect grilled cheese?0
-
You already saw my recipe a while back on my "wall".
Adding bacon and dried tomato is a definite win though. Not fresh, dry it in the oven a bit first. Too much liquid in freshies.0 -

Dude, I see so much food porn on your wall I can't remember...
ETA: Thanks for the tip. I love tomatoes and cheese.0 -
If want starch: Soups, oatmeal, pureed squash, popcorn (100-cal pack).
If want fruity: Fruit and yogurt (own little parfait)
Big portion raw/steam veggies (whole pack of mushrooms is only 60 calories)
Granola bars, protein bars
Pudding cup
Chip-like: homemade pita chips, pretzels (can get unsalted), goldfish0 -
usually just eat a big sandwich or wrap water on the side0

*cough* sausage jokes needed
Ok, perfect grilled cheese.
400 grams of your favorite cheese or mix. (I like 250gr of cheddar, 100gr of gruyere, and 50gr of parmesan)
50ml of milk or your favorite broth
fresh ground black pepper
6.5gr sodium citrate
Mix milk, pepper and sodium citrate in a pot, warm the milk to at least 140F over a low flame and then start mixing the grated cheese in a little at a time. Heat it through, it will melt, once melted and nicely flowing, pour into a sheet pan that you've lined with parchment paper. Let the cheese set, cut slices, and then store them with some parchment or wax paper in between them to keep them from sticking together.
Now, butter your bread, add your cheese, and grill like a master. It will melt quickly and perfectly. Add bacon and dried tomato.0 -

Seconding the cottage cheese suggestion!0
-
Kale Chips, Marinated/Stuffed Mushrooms, Glazed Carrots, Potato Salad, Cole Slaw, Pasta Salad, Sliced Tomatoes w/ Olive Oil and seasoning, Onion/Tomato/Cucumber salad (basically but a little sugar and vinegar and let them sit the longer the better), or Chilli.
I'm trying to have open face sandwiches or hollow out the bread (works great on Publix subs due to their bread) which would allow for more carbs in the side items.0
