Simple stuff for me as far as breakfast goes is Dannon Light 'n Fit yogurt, and hard boiled eggs.

Lunch I usually have a good quality deli turkey or maybe a small can of tuna with some romaine, baby spinach, onion and green pepper wrapped in a La Tortilla garlic and herb wrap. The wraps are awesome - only 50 calories and 8g of fiber! Some assembly required, but super easy and healthy!

Otherwise I snack on a lot of fresh fruit which is always easy to travel with- apples, bananas, pears, cup of grapes, etc.

I have turkey sliced in 1/4" thick slices and buy a bag salad and some lowfat dressing. I just tear or cut a slice of the turkey into a handful or two of the bag salad (about a third of a bag). Toss a little good dressing on and you have a lowfat lunch with protein and veggie serving. I have been eating this for lunch at work every day for the last three weeks. I actually look forward to it. Just buy what you need at the beginning of the week and throw it in the breakroom fridge.

I also bring berries, bananas oranges, whatever. Try to get my five fruit and veg in at work so anything I get at home is a bonus.

For breakfast, a bowl of Fiber One Honey Clusters with a tablespoon or two of granola for added crunch. Fiber One has 51% of your daily fiber. Good way to kick off the day. Throw a banana on top and skim milk or yogurt and you are set.

If you want something sweet I love Clif bars. Personal favorites are Chocolate almond fudge, Crunchy Peanut Butter. Or Kashi Trail Mix Cookies. Both are relatively low fat and a good dose of fiber. Beats a candy bar or fatty cookie.

My current lunch is super easy - spaghetti. I cook a lot of noodles on Sunday night (whole grain). The every morning I throw some in a tupperware container, dump on some sauce (huge fan of Muir Glen's fire roasted tomato), and I usually throw some thawed Boca Crumbles on top to add some protein. I used to add some fresh spinach that I microwaved for 15 seconds to wilt it. Now I eat my spinach as a salad on the side and maybe some fruit for something sweet. That seems to hit all the food groups and keeps me pretty full until I have my pre-run Clif Bar.

I premake a huge pot of soup ever couple weeks, and put it in little 1 cup microwavable bowls. I usually can eat 3-4 of these during the day (at about 200 calories each) so I'm getting about 800 calories during the day. Breakfast is usually about 300 calories (with fruit ~400). Then dinner, is usually about 600 calories (unless I eat out, then its trouble).

If I'm on the go, no microwave, I'll eat a foil of tuna or salmon, couple boiled eggs or a clif bar and a v-8 (I know, too much salt, but I can't drink the low salt variety).

I pack my breakfast and lunch everyday.....can get boring. I do like to pack a low carb wrap for lunch....never get bored of them. The wrap I use is 80 calories, 6 net carbs, with 14 grams of fiber. I usually fill it with ham, turkey, egg salad, or chicken salad. It fills me up, and doesn't cost to much with the calorie bank!

Can of Progresso soup, string cheese and an apple. Prob. a bit high in the sodium dept., but that's my old standby. Those little tuna fish and cracker things are good too but I have to eat something with them; they don't fill me up by themself.
