If you are looking for a healthy lunch idea this one might appeal to you. It was enough to keep me full and satisfied, and you might feel the same way. I bet you may not have realized you could eat so much and still not be cheating on your diet. Take a look at my lunch plate. I could have even had a diet soda, but I drank 2 bottles of water instead, after I had the meal. I am learning and you may want to learn too. So this is just a suggestion to show you some of the foods you can have.

Ingredients

3 slices oscar mayer oven roasted lean turkey
2 slices healthy life bread

6 tablespoons great value chunky salsa mild
16 - tostitos baked tortilla scoop chips ( or less if desired)
2 slices fresh tomatoe slices

How To Make healthy lunch idea-under 400 calories

Step 1

Prepare sandwich with sandwich spread or your favorite, can use a lite variety for less calories if desired. Add tomato slices and leaf lettuce. Count out the chips. I try to eat enough so I am not tempted to cheat later on before dinner.

Step 2

Measure out the salsa, 2 tablespoons only have 10 calories, I measured out 6 tablespoons for 30 calories. These are the Baked Scoops which have 50% less fat than the regular bag. The total calories for lunch was 384,and I still have more than 1100 left for dinner, but since I have been seriously watching what I eat, I have never gone over in calories.
Step 3

Here is what the Healthy Life bread looks like, found in many larger grocery stores. Walmart and Sam's Club both carry it. At Sam's Club you get a double Bag.
Step 4

I made the above sandwich for lunch it is the Oscar Mayer Extra Lean Turkey Breast with only 30 calories per slice, then I added a 4 ounce Sugar Free Jello cup just 5 calories, and 3 Tablespoons of Great Value Pop Corn(Bulk in 2 lb. bag) in the microwave in a plain bag, no oil or butter or salt, and that added 130 calories not bad for a lunch that is filling and has fiber too.
