Knock on wood, I haven't gotten sick since I've been dieting. That being said, even if it's hot out I'd probably still eat soup, but maybe at room temperature instead of hot? I'd make a chicken broth soup with veggies, then bake up some lightly seasoned chicken breast separately so I could weigh the meat before putting it in the soup. If I recall correctly, most clear broths are 0 pts, especially the low sodium/low fat versions. I would probably add salt back to taste, though, because I find saltier things make my sore throat feel better lol!
If that isn't an option, maybe cut up some chicken breast into chunks, slice some grapes in half, add a few chopped walnuts and mix in maybe 1 tablespoon of mayo/miracle/whip/creamy dressing of your choice. I love this easy chicken salad in a whole wheat wrap.
1 5 oz chicken breast, cooked and cut into small pieces-5pts
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts-2 pts
1/2 cup grapes, sliced-0pts
1 tablespoon miracle whip light dressing-0pts
1 whole wheat wrap-3pts
This is easily modified to whatever you like...I don't like a lot of miracle whip so 1 tablespoon is fine for me to get just the small amount of flavor (if I use 2 tablespoons I usually up the point to 1). This tastes just as yummy in a lettuce wrap, too, if you want something 0pts. I like to add more grapes sometimes to make it more filling without adding more points. Some people add celery, or green onions...there's lots you can do to spruce it up
That's the only really light one I can think of that's not soup
I know it's not much, but I hope it helps!!!
Sick... what to eat?
