what's for lunch?
Yep, what's for lunch? I usually eat at home and I will welcome
suggestions for low point lunches that are easy to prepare. Reviewing my journal I notice that I very often resort to peanut butter and fruit spread on high fiber bread. I like PB but this is too repetitious. Also, pb is a bit high in points. I need a few new ideas to liven up my meals. Thanks. PAT in VA/USA |

what's for lunch?
I have a few different lunches that I rotate through. Although I'm quite
content to eat the same breakfast almost every day for months at a time, I must vary my lunches or I go crazy. Most of my lunches are 5-6 points. Today I had 1 c. chili with 1/2 peanut butter sandwich for 6 pts. Chili Potato 5.5 pts 1 med. baked potato 1/2 c. Hormel vegetarian chili 1/2 oz 2% shredded cheddar cheese 1 T reduced fat sour cream scallions Black Bean Burrito 4.5 pts 1 flour tortilla, medium 1/2 c. black beans (drained, rinsed, microwaved until hot) 1/2 oz 2% cheddar 1 T. reduced fat sour cream salsa Cheeseburger 4 pts (plus 1 pt of pretzels or baked potato chips) Boca Burger whole wheat bun (the brand I use is 2 pts.) slice of 2% American cheese "Ham" sandwich 4.5 pts 3 slices Lightlife Smart Deli Ham-flavor slices 2 slices high-fiber bread 1 T. lite miracle whip Yeah, I know you're not a vegetarian, but maybe this will give you some ideas. During the summer, when fresh, yummy tomatoes were available, I also ate hummus on pita with lettuce and tomato, for 3 pts. Or tomatoes with cheese on bread. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message ... Yep, what's for lunch?

I recently enjoyed a half can of Progresso Bean Soup, 2 points.
Sprinkled some grated cheese on top, 2 points worth and had carrots. Good question, I often resort to the same thing Pat so I'm looking forward to some ideas. Mary |

Today its left overs from the freezer. Pastas with diced chicken
breast zucchini and carrots all lightly strifried ( 3 tsp oil for 4 portions) with oil, seasoned with chilli powder and paprica. Yum yum, at 4 points a serving this is a hit and it reheats really well. Will post the exact recipe if anyone wants.

I need a few new ideas to liven up my meals. Thanks. PAT in VA/USA Some of my favorite lunches are... Smoked salmon, capers, red onion, olives, cottage cheese (or cream cheese if you've got the points - it's 2 points per ounce, like most cheese). Oh, and Kavli thins (rye crisps) or Finn crisps. Hummus, pita bread, dill pickles. Leftover chicken with Frank's hot sauce. Cut it up and roll in lettuce. Most of the time I just graze on leftovers, and that's a lot of variety. Stan |

No butter... -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Soup or salad is good. There are many lunchmeats and sliced cheeses
available for 1 point. This allows some really great sandwiches for 2-3 points. I make mine with lots of mustard, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes with raw vegetables and dip on the side instead of chips. -- SuzyQ Weight 124 WW Lifetime Membership Feb 03 "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message ...

PAT in VA/USA I have been eating a delicious chicken wrap for lunch. 1/2 Fat Free wrap (mine are rectangular-ish and large - they are found near the deli) layer of lettuce or I use baby spinach 1 serving of Perdue Chicken cuts (in the meat dept) I use the southwestern flavor, yum! diced tomatoes, mushrooms, whatever 0 point veggie you want to add 1 serving of your favorite dressing - I use a Fat Free Caesar Italian roll it up and have a fork ready for the stuff that falls out - this is very filling and it's only 5 points. In fact today I'm going to use half the chicken and half the dressing (it spills out anyway) for a 3.5 point meal! I'm loving all the lunch suggestions! Emily 173/169.5/140 |
