My most challenging meal of the day is lunch. I just never know what to eat. I usually eat a salad with grilled chicken breast strips, a Protein shake or leftovers from the night before(depending on what it was).

I need some healthy/budget friendly ideas. Any suggestions would help. Thanks

If you're on a really low carb diet it may not work for you, but I tend to eat a lot of Lean Cuisines for lunch. Fast, easy, inexpensive, and gives me a variety.

I agree! I love them but some have lots of sodium and most of them have Pasta

Thanks for the suggestion

I have heard that u have to really watch Lean Cuisine due to the sodium content...just something to watch for.

I eat tuna most days. Lots of Protein. I keep a jar of mayo and relish in the office fridge. Sometimes I bring a boiled egg as well. Quick, easy and definitely economical! the 2.6 oz tuna package is $1.25.

Good Luck!

every second morning i make up a split pea and lentil soup. its winter time here and it goes down well. i put mild salsa in it as well. a couple of pieces of bacon, some garlic, onion. chicken stock.

I tend to also eat a lot of tuna salad for lunch.

You can try grilled veggies and cottage cheese. With Mrs. Dash you can't really go wrong. Or miracle noodles with veggies and a little sauce. They are awesome tasting, quick to make and they have great nutrition facts. A little goes a long way for bandsters. They come in different favors which is really cool too. Good luck ???Š

Besides the best thing ever, they are Protein and veggie based noodles. The whole package is 12oz give or take and if you ate the whole thing it's only 50 cals and 2 grams of protein. The brand I use is Pasta slim. I get the spinach kind and make a Greek yogurt& laughing cow wedge "sauce" and it's delish! It's gluten free and I think that's the trick.

I forgot to add, they are already hydrated in liquid. So it just takes a few min to warm them up. And you did them usually in the dairy section/refrigeration section

I like the wild salmon in the pouch. I mix it with lf ranch dressing and eat it with lettuce & tomato.

What stores sell the noodles?

I get mine at whole foods. But I think they offer them at trader joes.
