Today for lunch I had:

* A Weight Watchers bagel, which I warmed in the microwave for about 10 seconds, then I sprayed with some "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter." Mmmm.

*A salad with croutons (gasp! I know, but they're only 35 calories a serving) and 2 tablespoons of dressing

*A diet vanilla Pepsi

I keep a pack of fat free bologna and a loaf of whole wheat oatnut bread at work and make a bologna sandwich with mustard every day. I usually eat a nectarine soon after. The easy part is knowing I will never forget my lunch!
I always eat a yogurt for breakfast and my variety is with my dinner.

Tuna salad prepared with low-fat sour cream and mustard.
Lettuce and cucumber salad dressed with dried Italian herbs and oilive oil

I just had lemon pepper tilapia, cottage cheese and a big old garden tomato sprinkled with a tiny bit of feta cheese, fresh basil and balsamic vinegar. 32 grams of protein too!

Ma po tofu with broccoli (spicy sauce with steamed broccoli and tofu).

Today I'm making a tuna melt (A Western Alternative Bagel w/ a small can of light tuna, toasted in the toaster oven with 1/4 cup of shredded light cheddar cheese).

I usually eat my lunch at work anywhere between 1am-2am (night shifts). I usually have a cup of romaine lettuce, croutons 2tbls, caesar dressing 1 tbls, and sometimes add some Hillshire Farm Oven roasted Turkey, and a sugar-free jello pudding, water and Enviga...I have this at least 3 times a week,,,,its my fave only about 300-some calories. Not bad for lunch.

Today it is homemade chicken minestrone...mmm...works out about 200 calories per serve.

I've been on a bit of a salad kick as well with rocket, baby spinach, pickled onions, sundried tomatoes, carrot and a protein source like turkey breast, ham, kangaroo, fish, pork etc.

Today's lunch was:

* 3 oz grilled chicken breast
* 2 cups of raw veggies
* 1 bag of Baked Doritos (individual sized--not family sized!)
* Diet Brisk Tea

Today it's going to be swiss macaroni (whole wheat) and cheese with spinach and grilled chicken. The mac and cheese is made from a mix I picked up at Target and then I bulked it up with a lot of spinach and threw in some chicken.

Today was scallops served on a spring/herb mix with pearl onions, grape tomatoes and red peppers. YUM! Working from home today, obviously.

OMG...what a question!! My job is in the sky and thus I eat a LOT of lunches packed "to go", but they don't come from my kitchen...which can really be a challenge!!!

Protein is important to keep me full. And I try to stick as much as possilbe to complex carbs. I like single cottage cheese packs with some fruit. Or maybe a slice of ezekiel bread with almond butter and an apple. There are no microwavess on the airplane, so it's usually pretty simple stuff!! Today I am in Germany and I had a premade garden salad from the store. I threw some precooked/packaged shrimp on top with olive oil that i carry in a leak proof bottle and some lemon. YUMMY!!!
I'm glad you asked the question...I'm always looking for ideas myself!! There are too many tempataions onboard if I don't have food in my bag!!! (Hence many of these extra pounds I'm carrying!)

Bon appetit!!

I like this thread for lunch ideas so I'm bumping it back up!

Today is broiled mahi mahi, fruit salad and cottage cheese. It looks a lot like an old lady dieters plate that I used to serve when I was younger and waitressed at a country club. Blech.

Today I had Lean Cuisine "Santa Fe Rice & Beans" with a side of raw carrots and cucumbers, and a Hansen's diet soda.
