Fun lunch out with the family for Father's Day. It was a restaurant I'd never been to before, and their menu wasn't online, so I went in cold. Challenge! I found a terrific meal: a carnitas bowl with fresh salsa, and ate half. I got my veggies from the Bloody Marys :) Four of us split two desserts (key lime pie and raspberry/lemon cake, so more healthy fruits!)
It's tongue-in-cheek -- I know I made some questionable food choices, but the main thing for me is that I kept my day just over my RDI. Unfortunately, and eye infection I was flirting with took off in the afternoon and I reached straight for comfort food: a box of Annie's white cheddar shells. So good... and comforting. That tipped me over the RDI, but today is another day.

Hi! I'm a "grab-and-go" kind of gal. I pack my lunch sack with a variety of things I know I can have; I can have a few or all and I still stay within my RDI. Some of my choices are string cheese, hard-boiled eggs, salami slices (exactly the # of slices for the portion on the label), cherry tomatoes, blueberries, cucumbers, crackers (I use the pre-portioned ones in individual pouches), yogurt, Kirkland hummus, carrot sticks, low fat/low salt peanut butter on celery, leftovers from the night before, etc.
I am sticking to 1600 calories a day. I prefer my lunch to be less than 500 calories, so I plan accordingly. You are welcome to take a look at my food diary and see if anything fits your tastes.
My new favorite thing is Dave's thin-sliced killer seed bread. I can make a mini sandwich with two of those slices, cream cheese, and cucumbers and have a bunch of calories left over for fruit, more veggies, and possibly some crackers.
Dinners for me are usually plain food because it's too hard to break down sauces and things on this site. I'll have roasted chicken with rice and a salad, a small amount of pasta with "lite" Alfredo sauce or olive oil/feta cheese + a salad, or whatever hubby brings home carved out into a portion that's the right size for me. So far it's working!

Get some of the Gladware mini food storage containers. The ones I have are exactly 1/2 cup, so I can keep track of my food portions more readily. If I plan ahead I don't have to think when I'm hungry, and that's a really good thing.
