Unintentionally leave them unrefrigerated overnight in a bag of baby carrots.

But a good one:

romaine
cherry tomatoes
red pepper
cucumber
dried cranberries
almonds (warmed in the toaster oven)
goat cheese
chicken breast
TJ's sesame soy ginger vinaigrette

On the side:
whole wheat pita
hummus

All told: 635 calories (47:24:29 carb/prot/fat). It's a recovery day, so this was slightly lower carb than usual. The salad was good, but I feel like eating a loaf of bread right now.

Toasted english muffin, buttered
1 egg white, scrambled
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
salt & pepper

Do not skip the butter- this makes it delicious!

Here's one I just concocted:

cut up banana
cut up orange
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
tbsp honey

285 calories (82:15:3 carb/prot/fat)... pretty awesome post-workout snack. The yogurt/honey combo is particularly nice.

Most days I make myself a turkey sandwich for lunch. Lately I've been adding little enhancements to keep it from getting boring. Here's what it looks like today-

whole wheat pita
turkey
havarti cheese
spicy hummus
cucumbers
cream cheese
cherry tomatoes
spouts

It is awesome!
