Meals Under 350 calorie

I’m gonna show you how to make three super easy lunches that are packed with protein. Why protein? It helps keep you full longer between meals and all three of these lunches are low cal. They all clock in at 350 calories or less.

So first up, barbecue chicken sandwich Start with shredded cooked chicken which is what provides the protein in this sandwich, combine it with carrots and barbecue sauce in a bowl, mix that together then take a little bit of Ranch dressing, spread it on the bun. In here, we’re using a whole wheat bun so you can get the fiber from that as well as from the carrots, top it with the chicken mixture, a little lettuce, simple and delicious.

Next, low-cal lunch, it’s Eating Well’s Cobb salad. So this Cobb salad has all the good stuff, bacon, eggs and blue cheese We’re not gonna cheat you here. All right, start by making the dressing with vinegar, shallot, mustard, pepper and salt in a small bowl until that’s combined and then you whisk in your oil until it’s all combined. Place your salad greens in a large bowl and toss those with about half of the dressing. Put those greens on your plate and then next, we’re gonna top the plates. All right, so we arrange chicken, tomatoes, egg, cucumber and avocado on the lettuce then add a judicious amount of bacon and blue cheese on top, drizzle the salad with the remaining dressing and that’s it. Compared with the traditional Cobb salad, we saved over 200 calories plus we cut the fat and saturated fat in half.
