15 Lean & Healthy Lunch Ideas

Here are some quick lunch ideas that I promised some of you who emailed me last week.

1. Salad Bowl: organic greens, edamame beans, chicken or tofu, red peppers, cottage cheese, hard boiled egg, sunflower seeds and your favorite all natural dressing (low fat)
2. Greek Yogurt and Salad with 2-3 ounces lean protein
3. 8 ounces fresh squeezed orange juice, salad, 1 cup broth soup (IE…lentil, chicken, bean) 
4. Handfull of organic tortilla chips, 1/4 cup black beans, 2 ounces grilled chicken, 1/4 cup brown rice, pico de gallo all mixed and placed over chopped lettuce.  Top with your favorite dressing if necessary….suggested: fresh lime, light vinaigrette or all natural low fat ranch dressing.
5. Grilled lean steak, 1/2 cup chopped sweet potato on salad greens.
6. Salmon, baked potato and veggies
7. Blt( kinda): turkey bacon, tomato, romaine lettuce on whole grain toast or pita.  Apple
8. Broth organic soups (suggested  : Amys Soups), slice ezekiel toast
9. Organic veggie (root veggies) stir fry with tofu and Annie’s Teriyaki Sauce
10. Turkey or Chicken Meatballs (3 ounces) topped with all natural tomato sauce on salad greens
11. 1/4 cup brown rice mixed with 1 cup of lentils, black and/or pinto beans, salad, cup of mixed fruit
12. all natural turkey slices on salad, greek yogurt and an apple
13. egg white omelet (3 egg whites, 1 egg) with veggies, cup of fruit
14. salad , apple with almond butter, cottage cheese
15. 2 ounces Grilled chicken (sliced thin) , avocado, tomato all in between 2 slices thin sourdough toast.  Top with favorite dressing.

Note

These suggestions are to get lean.  They are not for a body builder and/or to use as a lifestyle eating plan.  I know some of you still want pizza, chips etc…which is your choice but try to substitute with a lower fat and whole food alternative.  IE: light cape cod chips rather than low-fat pringles. 

If you are going to keep eating foods that are high in calories than cut your quantity and drink more water.
