Sandwich & Chips Bento Box
🕑 Added 2022-12-19 17:01:00 +0000 UTC*Bonus content*
This is a fun little bento box because it shows that you can still eat things like a simple sandwich for lunch and stay on track. Granted most of the protein is coming from the Quest chips, but many people think that something like a sandwich can't be enjoyed as part of a weight loss journey. As you can see, you get all this food for around 400 calories.
If you can't find the Quest chips, regular chips are fine. Just make up for the lost protein somewhere else in your day, or add a simple protein shake on the side to this meal.
This particular sandwich just had mustard, which is zero calorie. So if you use something like mayo, be sure to account for those calories.

Sometimes if I'm wanting a sweeter option than pickles, I'll do pickled beets! Still low in calories, but a little sweeter than regular pickles.
what could you substitute for the pickle?

Do you use a dressing for the sandwich? Or is it plain?
That makes 3!
Awesome thank you. I am diabetic so when I eat breads I try to find ones higher in fiber content to affect my blood sugars less

I believe this was just Walmart brand white bread. Dave's will be a little higher but also have some fiber.
What kind of bread are you using? I like the Dave's Killer breads and would like to compare the calories and such to your plan here
Maybe olives?
Olives?
What can be substituted for the pickel...yuck
Same! Hoping for suggestions!
If I am not a fan of the Quest chips is there an alternative?

Dave’s killer bread is 110calories and 5g protein per slice.. So if you used 2 slices it would be 220 calories & 10 protein.. So this would be well over 500 calories.. I honestly don’t care for Dave’s killer bread it’s too high calorie for not that much more protein & there are lots of low calorie bread out there that tastes much better..the Sara Lee 45 calorie bread is great & my go to bread so for 2 slices it would be under 100 calories!!

This is so perfect!
This is perfect!! Thanks so much!
What the calorie/macro count change by using a whole wheat bread such as Arnold Bread or Dave’s Killer Bread?
This makes my heart smile

It’s on my YouTube. I don’t want to clutter Patreon with non-recipe posts. As far as the recipes from the grocery haul, they will all be on Patreon when the videos and PDFs are edited and ready.
