Traditionally, lunch is the middle meal of the day when we eat three squares. Since you're trying to lose weight without starving yourself, experts recommend that you eat several smaller meals, so consider lunches, your daytime meals. Obviously, you can have sandwiches – on whole wheat bread, of course! Be sure anything you put between those two pieces of bread is lean and diet-friendly.

Traditionally, lunch is the middle meal of the day when we eat three squares. Since you're trying to lose weight without starving yourself, experts recommend that you eat several smaller meals, so consider lunches, your daytime meals.



Obviously, you can have sandwiches – on whole wheat bread, of course! Be sure anything you put between those two pieces of bread is lean and diet-friendly. Tuna is a great and filling sandwich, but lean roast beef, no-fat cheese, and chicken salad is also a good sandwich.

You can also opt for the traditional salad. Make sure you don't top it with anything that will sabotage your weight loss efforts. That means no cheese (unless it's non-fat or low-fat), bacon bits, croutons, or garbanzo beans - and no dressing unless it's light. Try some lemon juice instead. It's refreshing and delicious!



But there are other meals you can have during the day that are much more substantial meals you can have. Try some of these recipes!

While the beef is cooling, combine the remaining taco seasoning, cream cheese, sour cream, and salsa in a small bowl. Mix well. Divide and spread this mixture evenly onto 2 small plates
