Tired of Tuna and Chicken!

k1972pat Posts: 154 Joined: 2003/06/10	2003/08/06, 06:28 AM I eat either Chicken or Tunafish in my salads for lunch everyday. My question is what are some other foods I could eat for lunch that have Protein. If anyone has some good recipes please send them this way. I appreciate all the good information everyone has given to me, it has helped me out a lot in reaching my goals.

There are other types of fish, like salmon, that you can eat, as well as turkey, lean steaks, etc. Or even the 4% ground beef, which is good for chili, hamburgers, etc. -------------- Michael "Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!"

I just had two veggie burgers with my lunch - 182 cal, 1 g fat, 15 g carb, 28 g protein. Hard boiled eggs, egg salad are also options. Have you tried the packets of tuna?
