    I love a tuna fish sandwich , I toast my bread, add chopped up tomatoes, latino blend veggies(black beans,corn, onion and bell peppers, its in the freezer section) light miracle whip, cheese and bean sprouts used as lettuce. YUM and pretty healthy.

    I have a boatload as I pack my lunch everyday so as to avoid the calories laden cafeteria!

    Tumaro's Low Carb Wraps - 60 calories

    1 to 2 ounce of ham - 30-60

    Grey Poupon - 5 calories

    Tomato Slice - 5

    Fat Free Kraft American - 25 calories

    Fiber One Blueberry Yogurt 50 calories

    22 POP chips - 120 calories (Target, Giant)

    A yummy and high fiber lunch for 300 calories and you feel full too. Definitely get the wraps Tumaro's are bigger at 60 calories but more filling and there is Smart and Delicious for 50 calories (but they are way smaller, worth the 10 calories).

    I have a boatload of yummy items having been at this for 2 years.

    When I started, for some insane reason I thought the only option would be cold cooked chicken - by itself. Which yeah, is an option, but it's seriously boring to eat! Then I found some reasonably low calorie wraps, which I usually make into fajitas (mmm) but you can do loads with (fill them with any sort of meat and veg which bulks them out a lot too), or I have toast, soup, salads... I've tried having left overs from the night before as well - in smaller portion sizes obviously, and that works quite well if you can reheat things.

    I love to make turkey or chicken salad - onion, celery, turkey, a bit of mayo, grapes (if I have them); spread it on a lettuce leaf (I use romain) and roll lengthwise. Two or three of them is plenty for lunch. Healthy, low cal and delish! I also do the same with tuna salad.

    One of my other favorites - sautee an onion in just a bit of olive oil until almost soft; add 6-8 ounces of ground beef (93/7) and brown. Serve on a bed of lettuce with some salsa on top and you've got a great taco salad.

    I learned today that mayo isn't evil.

    I've been away from MFP for a few weeks and today is my first day back. Had a tuna sandwich and was pleasantly surprised at how few calories it was! Miracle Whip Lite was only 60 calories for a tablespoon -- not bad! I had tried forcing myself to skip the mayo on sandwiches, and sometimes that's okay, but sometimes the thought of a mayo-free sandwich deterred me from having a sandwich at all, on which days I'd end up at the cafeteria instead. The mayo is by far the lesser of those two evils!

    Yes, unless you load them down with ranch or another fattening dressing. It can make one as bad as eating a big cheeseburger! :tongue:
