Anyone have any new ideas for lunch? I usually take some combination of: graham crackers w/ a small amount of peanut butter, apple, orange, banana, strawberries, wasa crackers with sugar free preserves or laughing cow on them, a sandwhich (light wheat bread, healthy ones turkey, pickles), green beans, and a few other things. Just looking to find something different- getting a little sick of what I've been taking. I'm waaaay past "sick of" salads right now (words I never thought I'd hear myself say!), and looking for a lunch around 350ish calories that's filling. Let me know if you have any thoughts... looking forward to hearing your suggestions :happy:

    You could try Lean Cuisine or Smart Ones for awhile. I don't use them a lot but once in awhile I get sick of the same old same old and eat one at lunch for about a week. They are kind of high in sodium so I don't stay on that for long. I like the Smart Ones lasagna florentine and 3 cheese ziti (I am vegetarian).
