Easy yet healthy lunches

[Over50Newbie]

I either have homemade soup that I have cooked over the weekend and stored in little plastic containers with yogurt and fruit, or I have one of those vegetarian "fake" chicken patties on a whole wheat bun with marinara sauce and a slice of red onion.

If I am in a hurry, and there is a microwave available, I love the Kashi frozen meals. My favorites are the Chicken Florentine, Southwest Chicken, and Black Bean and Mango ones.

I am eating way toooooo much for lunch. I know my portion sizes are to big.

For lunch I usually bring a salad(gave up the cheese on it) - I hate fat free dressings and will eat one of those big pretzels with it or a bowl of soup, or I will bring a sandwich and have a bowl of soup. I get sleepy in the afternoon.

For breakfast I've been eating oatmeal(quick cooking) - about a 1/2c - 3/4 c.

I don't ususally snack. I eat breakfast about 7:30am and lunch is usually 1:30pm and dinner is between 6:30/7:00 pm.
