I would suggest a grilled chicken sandwich on hearty w/w bread with fresh tomatos and romaine, served with a bowl of hearty soup (many canned single serving soups are very healthy)

On a second note, does it irritate anyone else when one a running forum there are almost daily posts advocating low-carb and low-calorie diets? I mean common on, if you want to be a runner, you have to eat like a runner, aka, eat more than ~300 calorie no carb dinners. Honestly suggesting stuff like that is just baiting people into injury and burnout.

You can "burn" if nothin's in the furnace

ah, I love Trader Joe's Harvest Hodgepodge. Takes me back to the days when I worked there and would grab a bag on my lunch break.

this is similar to my favorite dinner- an enormous salad with some beans or soy-meat (hah..) youve got to try this- whenever i make a salad i mix up my spinach and romaine with dressings, then stirfry up all my spiced vegetables on the stove. drop them in your salad mix and stir it up. makes a fantastic and flavorful salad.

This is one of my favorites. It makes about three large servings, so you will probably have left-overs.
