    Depends entirely on how many calories I have to play with based on if I went to the gym in the morning or not.

    Chicken with rice and veggies, soup, pesto pasta salad, peanut butter sandwich. Basically breakfast things because it's the weekend and I didn't get up till lunchtime. Fish and chips on a Friday though.

    Lunch.
    Food.
    Depending on the day, I'll have a can of soup, a sandwich, leftovers.
    Usually, lunch includes yogurt & a piece of fruit.

    My current 'thing' is a wrap flavored with sriracha (70cal), spread with low-fat Laughing Cow cheese (2 wedges = 70cal) (asiago is nice, also sun-dried tomato mozzarella basil), wrapped around some nice deli meat (turkey 3oz = 90cal), and some fresh spinach if I have it.
    Works out to under 400 calories, even with an apple & yogurt.

    Hummus & veggies to dip it with is good.
    Hard-boiled eggs.
    Tuna/egg salad, just go easy on the mayo. Wrap it in lettuce leaves for an even lower-cal option.
    Getting into summer, I like a salad of couscous, garbanzos, feta, black or kalamata olives, parsley, tomatos.

    What have you eaten before joining MFP?
    Why do you want to change that, or why can't you continue to eat the same things, just in smaller portions?

    Lunch is usually a smaller meal for me but my fave is a piece of Ezekiel bread toasted and spread with Laughing Cow cheese and topped with a fried egg and hot sauce. I usually have some fruit and raw veggies with it.
    I will also do 2 oz deli chicken or turkey with a Sargento Balanced Break bowl and some veg.

    I bring a salad to work every day. I have a (relatively) low calorie dressing I like. Every now and then I run out of time the night before (or run out of lettuce and veggies) and don't make my salad. If that happens I'll bring a frozen Amy's or Sweet Earth burrito.

    We usually prep 10 chicken breasts (5 for me, 5 for hubby) on the weekends. So it may be spinach salad with chicken, or a chicken wrap. If I'm sick of those or don't have any for some reason, I usually grab a Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice meal.

    I'm currently on the chicken wrap kick. One tortilla, smeared with a wedge of laughing cow cheese, some spinach, and chicken. I look forward to it all morning!

    Buttermilk and fruits/veggies usually when at work, Im a real slow eater and having an actual meal stresses me the hell out at work (yeah 30min is long but I cant relax to enjoy my food at work).

    At home, usually leftover dinner/salad but almost always a cold dish, just because personal preference.
