Lunches-Week One

Lunch usually ends up being the weakest part of my day (well, after the time right before dinner and right before bed.  I'm a snack monster).  With my schedule and my kids, eating out becomes far too easy.  It's easy to drive thru and end up with some junk in a sack.  And, in addition, despite considering myself a foodie, I love fast food.  I'd call it my dirty little secret, but since you know my weight, it's probably not a secret at all.

Lunch is going to be my hardest meal to change, but this is what I ate and the points value for week one.

Friday
1 serving of Trader Joes Chicken with Rice and Cashews.-7 pts.  Really easy, really good and really filling

Saturday
I revisted Friday night's dinner.  1 had a bunless burger-5 pts-with ketchup and mustard.  I had a sliced tomato and about a carrot and a half from the night before's dinner.  I had some Trader Joe's Bacon Ranch Dip, but limited myself to 1 tbsp so it was only 1 pt.  To finish, I had a serving of Aldi's baked bbq chips, which are pretty good and are 3 pts


Sunday
We ate a late breakfast, so we didn't need to each a huge lunch.  We were out shopping with our two youngest girls and picked up and split a commercially prepared steak wrap-7 pts

Monday
My take on Skinny Taste's Chicken Panini.  I used a few ounces of roast beef instead of chicken and dressed it up with more spinach and sliced tomatoes. -9pts

Tuesday
Burger King Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad-FOURTEEN POINTS

I could have had a whopper jr and a small fry for the same amount of points.  I was glad I ate the salad and got my veggies in, but I'd have really rather had the burger and fries. 

Wednesday
Tuna Salad on lite wheat bread with 1 serving of Aldi's baked chips-6 pts

Thursday
Chipotle Barbacoa Salad with light cheese, light guac, fajita veggies and black beans-10 pts for a HUGE meal.
