Deliteful Lunch Sandwich--The 300 Calorie Lunch

This is one of my lunch staples.  When I worked in a bigger office often some of us ladies who were watching our girlish figures would do "lunch club."  We'd all bring in different parts of a healthy lunch, and this was one of our go-tos.  Someone would bring the sandwich thins or wraps, someone else would bring the laughing cow cheese, someone would cut up all the veggies, and we'd make ourselves a delicious and healthy lunch during the week.  You can easily throw some pickles and an apple onto your plate and you are still going to be clocking in at under 300 calories.

If you are going to go to the expense of buying the ingredients then it is very important here that you go ahead and do your prep work with the vegetables.  Set yourself up to succeed, so go ahead and take the 5-10 minutes to slice up the cucumber, onion, and tomato.  Not only will it now take you next to no time to make yourself a great lunch or supper, but also, I don't know about you, but I am far more prone to make a salad or even just munch on veggies when they are already washed and cut up.   I'm telling you, stop fighting yourself and cater to yourself instead.  We're all busy, if we can make it easier for us and our families to eat healthier, then that is a win!

1 Wedge Laughing Cow Spreadable Cheese
Sandwich Pickles
Cucumber, Sliced thin

Make yourself a sandwich!  Take your bread and spread the laughing cow on the top and bottom pieces.  Add your meat to the bottom slice, and top with as many vegetables and pickles as you like.



Add some strawberries, an apple, or pear, and some mini dill pickles, and you will have a plate full of food for under 300 calories.
