Looking for something different and filling for lunch today. I work in a building w/a very good cafe if you are interested in 1)spending $15 for a sandwich or gaining 2 lbs daily on high fat/calorie options. Therefore, I almost allways bring my lunch. Today, however, I didn't. Any suggestions for something filling that isn't a salad w/protien on it? I have access to a microwave and hot water if it involves heating. There are several large chain grocery stores as well as resturants nearby that I can run to.

Any suggestions so I don't start hunting down office candy dishes at around 3:30 this afternoon.

Thanks!
:drinker:

    I am currently addicted to EarthFare's cranberry pecan chicken salad! I eat it with Blue Diamond Almond Nut Thins. It is delicious, and feels like such a splurge. But it is 180 cals for 1/2 cup.

    Does the grocery store have any of the pre-cooked/sliced chicken breast packages?? That would be my first choice......

    A greek yogurt, individual frozen edamame, an apple and veggie/spring roll from the sushi section of the grocery store. I do this a lot and it is very filling.

    Lean Pockets Whole Grain Culinary Creations. They have several different flavors. Today I had (1) Chicken, spinach, and cheese. Awesome! I pair it with 1 cup of progresso soup ( try not to drink to much of the juice to eliminate some of the sodium). I feel stuffed. Hope this helps.

    Do you like sushi? A lot of grocery store are starting to carry it.

    I'm useless for ideas because I live close to work and I come home every day for lunch. I am the leftover queen!
