Hi everyone,
It seems as if most suggestions for lo-cal lunches require cooking. Does anyone have any suggestions for lunches that do not involve cooking? For instance, is there a good 300 cal. sandwich out there? Something else? I'm a little tired of salads at this point. Love to hear from you

I love the South Beach Diet Chicken Salad that I found in the store. the one with cranberries, so I just bought all the stuff to make it myself!
2 oz. precooked chicken (I like Hormel's pack of grilled, 3 servings)
1 tbs lowfat mayo (I like Hellman's)
1 tbs dried cranberries
1 tbs chopped nuts (I have used pistacchios, cashews, or walnuts)
1 serving of wheat pita chips
What's funny is that it comes out to exactly the same amount of calories that the South Beach package does, 290! But you can sub the pita chips for bread, or put it in a lettuce type salad.
I was put off by the nuts and fruit with chicken, and it was my first time trying this kind of stuff ever, and I totally love it!
