Flounder I seared off in a pan with a Cajun 6 pepper blend seasoning, tri-color quinoa and rice, steamed cauliflower and broccoli, and a baby lettuce salad with avocado, cherub tomatoes, tofu and a drizzle of red wine dressing. Oh, also a glass of chilled mocha coffee with almond milk.
I had a giant salad w. mixed greens, cucumber, feta, turkey, yellow pepper. Homemade vinaigrette made w. pico de gallo, soy, little olive oil, rice vinegar, lemon zest.
I fill a bento-style lunch box and fill it with all sorts of finger foods. Dips, crackers, veggie sticks, fruit, cheese, nuts, boiled eggs, pickles, cherry tomatoes, deli meats. Whatever that adds up to 300 calories!
Lunch is my main meal of the day (always has been, for cultural reasons). It's basically whatever we're cooking for our main meal that day, or the day before if it's a large pot kind of meal. Usually 700-1000 calories. Involves white rice more often than not.
Today is leftovers. I have some leftover restaurant rice and refried beans, plus I'm adding some chicken breast that I cooked myself. I'll probably throw on some Taco Bell sauce since I have a bag full in my desk.
Homemade soup. I stash it in the freezer at work and enjoy with revita snack bread. If I have some extra calories to splurge I add cream cheese to the bread. I like to have a variety so I pretty much make soup every weekend. Heavy on the vegetables and flavour, as low on the calories as possible. White chicken chilli, roast carrot, ministrone, beef barley, lentil vegetable, Italian sausage and bean... so filling, healthy and satisfying.
Monday/Wednesday/Friday: Leftovers
Tuesday/Thursday: soup from the bakery near the school I work at in the afternoons or either something from the Whole Foods like store nearby
Today I skipped all sample snacks at Costco (that's exercising willpower for me - I don't need the samples on top of a healthy lunch salad topped with avocado and turkey, no dressing.
Next week will be variation of Cod fillet and tuna power greens. Balsamic or pomegranate dressing lentils or quinoa.
Most days and birds eye power meal one night.

What's the square thing on low right?
From the menu, apparently crab and pork meatloaf.
