Lunch

No big speech about this one.... just make sure you are eating it Every Day! I think the biggest thing is portion control.  They say eat breakfast like a queen, lunch like a princess and dinner like a pauper.  As an example: breakfast 500 calories, lunch 400, dinner 300 and snacks 300.  Also try to make sure your lunch includes some protein and fiber to give you energy for the day. Here are some healthy lunches that I have found.

• Leftovers from dinner
• Healthy choice meals ( I really like these because they are healthy, yummy and only 2 dollars)
• Tuna fish sandwich on whole wheat bread 
• Salad with lots of fruit, veggies and/or nuts (and of course fat free dressing.. try something new like poppy seed, vinaigrette, zesty italian, etc.) (also clearly you should skip the bacon bits and cheese)
• Soup and whole wheat crackers (Just beware of the amount of sodium in the soups.. I like the light Progresso soups)
• Sandwich with whole wheat bread, lean lunch meat, low fat cheese and low fat mayo or hummus
• Whole wheat tortilla or pita bread with veggies, lean meat and low fat cheese
• Peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat bread (ok occasionally)
• Grilled cheese (whole wheat bread and low fat cheese

It is a good idea to add a side of fruit or veggies to each of these meals! I tried to make this list with common ingredients that most people like.  However there are thousands of ideas online that include more obscure ingredients if you feel like being adventurous and trying something new.
