Default What's in your lunch today?

I thought we could help each other out and post our healthy, low-calorie packed lunch for those of us working or going to school away from home. I know a lot of us are making commitments to pack...and let's face it, it's hard to be creative.

Today I packed a tuna mixed with dijon mustard and chives with one piece of bread (open faced sandwiches are a great low-cal option-you WON'T miss that piece of bread!) and a clementine, with a banana and a bit of ovaltine w/ skim milk for second meal (12 hour shifter here)

What're you all eating today?

I'm packing lunches for 4 days this week since I'm going to be away from home on a job assignment. I'm driving there but staying overnight. I'm bringing yogurt and an apple for each day - I can put it in the company fridge when I get there. I stay much better on plan if I limit my food options.

Good idea!

I've got some homemade lentil soup, homemade butter chicken (without actual butter...lol it was a spice blend!) and a pear

Happy eating!

I'm not a brown-bagger since I'm currently a SAHW but my lunches are usually simple enough that they could be packed.

Yesterday I had:
1 oz turkey
1/2 whole wheat wrap
1 T sour cream
1 T salsa
3/4 oz. shredded cheese
not enough lettuce worth counting
Total:218 calories

Today
3/4 oz. turkey (all that was left)
1/2 whole wheat wrap
1 T Maries Creamy Chipotle Ranch Dressing
not enough lettuce worth counting
Total:189

Today I had a salad with: chicken, roasted red peppers, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, pecans, roasted red pepper and garlic spread (from trader joes) and guacamole.

It was a very good salad!

Last night, I forgot that I was going out to lunch today, so I packed a large salad (romaine, cuke, celery, green onion, shallots, carrots, strawberries) with 1/4 cup of cheese and 4 oz of chicken. (The shallots and chicken were dinner leftovers)

I had a half Santa Fe salad without a breadstick at Max & Erma's, though, and am saving the salad for tomorrow.

My most frequent lunch is a variation on the salad--measured quantity of cheese and some sort of meat on a bed of vegetables and one fruit.

One day last week I made a chicken salad using vinagrette to augment the mayonaise, and it came out at a reasonable number of calories for a salad topper at lunch.

One thing I've decided is that I'm buying my favorite fruits even if they're expensive this time of year--they aren't as expensive as eating out would be and they aren't as expensive as my extra weight is dangerous to my health.
