I have a hard time with lunch...I don't know why, I'm not usually very hungry, but try to eat a big one regardless, otherwise I binge eat later in the afternoon.....I had two hard boiled egg whites, 10 strawberries, and tuna, with a little fat free mayo wrapped in a lettuce leaf.....I guess i'm just looking for ideas.....oh and I can't believe I forgot the rice krispie square! :happy:

    Jillian Michael's has some great recipe in her latest book. You may want to check it out! She also says you need to eat every 4 hours, no matter whatm but you need to eat the type of food your body needs, based on your own metabolism.

    Would I find her book in the cookbook section? I do eat every 4-5 hours, I drink a ton of water, but for some reason, once I start the "little" snacking. it gets outta control, so I do better with a big breakfast, decent lunch, then two smaller meals in the evening......i'm gonna look for her book though...thanks!

    Go to target.com, and type in "Making the Cut"...it's a great program for people trying to take off the last 10-20 stubborn pounds. So far, I have really like the recipes...even if I slightly modify them. She also had a metabolism "test" in there. Enjoy, and let me know what you think if you get it. :smile:

    Cucumbers, onions and green peppers sauteed in some olive oil and water with chipotle seasoning, mixed with some chopped, grilled chicken. :love: :love: :love: Tastes like Wendy's chili, only better!!

    I also have a banana and a cup of pumpkin parfait (plain, non-fat yogurt mixed with pure pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice), but I'm really not that hungry, so I'm saving that for later. :drinker:

    Baked potato with about 3/4 cup of homemade chili on top (and a little light sour cream:) Very easy, very good, very filling. I make it with a lot of beans so I get a LOT of protein from it.

    1/2 cup quinoa - 1 cup steamed broccoli - 1 oz. reduced fat sharp cheddar topped with fresh salsa. Delish! I make a big batch of quinoa and broccoli on Sunday - and divvy it up in containers for lunches during the week. Grab and go!

    Tuna and eggs are great!!! Why don't you try adding a little curry and finely chopped granny smith apple to it? Or sun-dried tomatoes? It add more satisfying texture, and is very flavorful!
