Healthy sandwich recipe?

chunkymunk

1 ounce is how many deli chicken slices?
does anybody have a healthy sandwich recipe using deli chicken slices?

im stuck for ideas for lunch..

Answer
The amount of chicken you get in one ounce will vary with the thickness of the slice. If you don't have a scale then when you get your deli meat make sure you order only 3/4 of a pound (12 ounces). This will give you a better idea of how to measure an ounce - 12 one ounce servings, 6 two ounce servings or 4 three ounce servings.
When you make a sandwich use 100% whole wheat bread (more fiber, will fill you up more, easy to metabolize, etc.). Toast the bread. Skip the mayo and use mustard. Use low sodium turkey or chicken and low fat cheese. Tomato slices, lettuce or arugula.
I like to use red pepper hummus and don't use cheese or mustard (very moist and creamy). Lots of protein, low fat.
Happy Cooking!

Healthy Sandwich Recipe, please help!!!!?

Billie Jea

Hey guys, Im on a diet and i go to a school that has no cafeteria which means we have to bring our own food. I usually take to school a turkey sandwhich with mayo, tomatoe and lettuce and white bread and i know it has many calories. I would like to know an easy to make sandwich recipe with not many calories and that is easy to take every where. Thank you.

P.S. Not a very hard to make sanwich, just a VERYYYYY simple sandwich with few calories, and which has fewer calories, brown or white bread? Thank you sooo much :P

Answer
First off, sandwiches are a fine food to eat if you're on a diet. They incorporate several food groups and include good nutrition. Whole grain bread is better than white bread - it has more fiber and better nutrients. If you want to cut calories, make a large half sandwich using only one piece of bread, but adding more meat and veggies. Lowfat wraps are also a good way to get lots of protein and veggies in sandwich form without too much bread.

The sandwich you're eating is perfectly healthy. Mayo is an OK condiment if used moderately. It's made with eggs and vegetable oil, and the fat in it helps to keep you full (thus preventing you from overeating and extra snacking later). Don't use more than 2 tbs.

I'm not a big mayo eater, and have lots of things I like to put on sandwich bread instead:
Mustard (try different kinds - Dijon, whole grain, spicy)
Cranberry sauce (great with turkey!)
Hummus
Pesto
Avocado (also has fat and calories but is super healthy)
Oil, vinegar and herbs
Salad dressing

You could also think about salads. They're a great meal, and easy to make the night before.

Yahoo Guy

I need to some healthy sandwich recipes,..peanut butter and jelly isn't working for me (p.s. -i'm a body builder)

Answer
I like to make vegetarian sandwiches. Ubber healthy.

Take high fiber bread such as Squirrly bread, spread on light or non fat cream cheese to each slice, add thinly sliced tomatoes and cucumbers (whatever appeals to you) and some alphalfa sprouts.
NUM!

Or for higher proteins roast chicken or turkey slices with roasted red peppers on the same type of bread with low fat mayo.

Just an idea anyway.

What are some delicious, healthy, and simple recipes for a brown-bag-type lunch?

Sara :)

I'm getting pretty sick of turkey sandwiches, so I was wondering if anyone had any healthy, relatively quick and simple recipes for a good brown bag lunch. Thanks in advance!! :)

Answer
Chop veggies. Chop your turkey. Toss with balsamic and olive oil. You gots lunch. Add a chopped boiled egg for extra protein. (I like to chop all of my ingredients, put them in separate containers, and mix them AT LUNCH time. I don't like how tomatoes can get gross and cover everything with slime, so I slice or chop them and give them their own brown bag vessel)

Cottage cheese is a good one. You can dress it up with all kinds of stuff. Toasted almond slivers and fruit pieces--dried fruit pieces, even. Very filling, adn good for you.

Fruit salad--grapes, apples/pears, berries, honeydew, jicama, cucumber-- with walnuts tossed with lime, salt, and honey -0r- yogurt and granola. I like to candy my own nuts (so I can control the sugar) and chop those up and top off my greek yogurt and fruit salad with them.

Tomato, balsamic, basil, olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper=good snack

couscous or quinoa salad with sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese.

Really, you just have to get creative with lunch combinations and cook ahead of time. Sunday night, prepare and grill 5-7 chicken breasts then reinvent the wheel--make chicken sammiches, chicken salad (with grape halves, or craisins, celery, onion, salt, pepper, maybe apple?, or pear?, perhaps a few of those candied nuts I spoke of previously.

Get in contact with me, I can throw lots of ideas your way. Prepare your stuff days in advance and it saves you time all week.

Original Question

What are some healthy, tasty meals for the school year?

Q. Can anyone give me tasty but healthy recipes for the school year?
I don't like to eat breakfast, so if you can give me some very quick, easy to make, healthy and not too filling breakfasts, that'd be great.

And lunch I need to be able to make in about 15 minutes, be eaten in about 35ish minutes, healthy, and can fit into a lunch box.

Thanks!

-monkisrockmisox

A. Breakfast: Yogurt is always good. You got some calcium, some protein, and some vitamins, assuming you get some fruit flavored yogurt. If you want a little extra crunch, you can sprinkle some of your favorite cereal on top. Fresh fruit is also a wonderful way to start your day.

Lunch: Sandwiches are your bread and butter, literally! Mix it up. Turkey and tuna are both great for you, and if you put some healthy green lettuce (none of that iceberg stuff) and a tomato you will round things out. Go easy on the mayo, if you even want any. On other days you can mix it up with peanut butter and your favorite jelly. For some healthy, quick side snacks, I'd recommend a combination of string cheese, carrot sticks, and grapes. These don't take any prep time, and all have their own benefits. To drink, well, I think that's up to you. Bottled water is the simplest.

Q. I want a healthy lunch to take to school. Um I don't want any turkey sandwiches or anything like that they gross me out. I don't want it to have to much meat. I also want it to get me full. I have a microwave in school so I can heat it up .

A. Stir fried vegetables

Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 lb chicken breast, cut in strips (marinate in soy sauce and garlic for great flavor)
2 cups cauliflower, cut to florets
2 cups broccoli, cut to florets
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 cup celery, sliced (2 stalks) (optional)
1 (15 ounce) can baby corn
salt (to taste)
soy sauce (optional)

Sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon cornstarch (just use enough to thicken slightly)
Directions
1Saute onions in oil.
2Add chicken and stir fry until browned. If not marinated, season with soy sauce and garlic.
3Add vegetables except for baby corn and salt. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes.
4Add baby corn and soy sauce to taste, if desired.
5Pour sauce over, stir till all vegetables are coated. If more sauce is needed, just double the recipe. I haven't made this in ages, so you might need more. I can't remember.

What are some healthy, tasty meals for the school year?

Q. Can anyone give me tasty but healthy recipes for the school year?
I don't like to eat breakfast, so if you can give me some very quick, easy to make, healthy and not too filling breakfasts, that'd be great.

And lunch I need to be able to make in about 15 minutes, be eaten in about 35ish minutes, healthy, and can fit into a lunch box.

Thanks!

A. Breakfast: Yogurt is always good. You got some calcium, some protein, and some vitamins, assuming you get some fruit flavored yogurt. If you want a little extra crunch, you can sprinkle some of your favorite cereal on top. Fresh fruit is also a wonderful way to start your day.

Lunch: Sandwiches are your bread and butter, literally! Mix it up. Turkey and tuna are both great for you, and if you put some healthy green lettuce (none of that iceberg stuff) and a tomato you will round things out. Go easy on the mayo, if you even want any. On other days you can mix it up with peanut butter and your favorite jelly. For some healthy, quick side snacks, I'd recommend a combination of string cheese, carrot sticks, and grapes. These don't take any prep time, and all have their own benefits. To drink, well, I think that's up to you. Bottled water is the simplest.

********************************************
1. At your grocery store, buy the sealed PRE-COOKED meats that come is small packages such as the following. You can make two or three meals out of them:

Beef tips with gravy,
Roast with gravy,
Pork roast,
Chicken,
Baked ham,
Pork chops,
Meatloaf,
etc.

Just heat in your microwave; directions are on the packages. You will find these packages in the cold section (not the freezer). Ask a clerk to help you find these. They are delicious.

Use these for your meat dish with a side dish or two of canned or frozen vegetables, beans, potatoes or sweet potatoes which can all be found on shelves or in the freezer section and they are already cooked.
.
You can now buy bags of different flavors of precooked rice that you put into your microwave for a minute or two. These are on shelves at the grocery store. We like the chicken flavored best of all. Have a clerk help you find them.
.
Real mashed potatoes that come in a bag...add water, butter, milk. Delicious. Read the directions.
.
Buy top brand cans of stew for each person. Serve with cornbread, crackers, or toast.
.
Soup and a grilled (fried) cheese sandwiches. Go to this video to see how to make a quick grilled cheese sandwich:
http://startcooking.com/video/326/Grilled-Cheese-Sandwich
.
Omelet with Cheese - Video:
http://startcooking.com/video/326/Grilled-Cheese-Sandwich
.
You can buy all types of salad greens in large packages now. Buy the ones that have been pre-washed. Add your own dressing which you can buy in bottles.
.
2. The top brands of microwave frozen dinners are very good now. These come in single servings or in family sized bags. Follow directions. Look for the words "No Preservatives" marked on the box or package.
Just add a canned or frozen vegetable as a side dish.

Top brands of dinners that are found on shelves. No fridge needed. Add water, microwave. These are good to take to school or work. Follow directions on the containers.
.
3. Video On How To Cook A Rib Eye Steak on Stove Burner (turn on your sound), click this link:

.
4. Supermarket deli's have pre roasted chickens, fried chickens, roast beef, and side dishes. You can stop in on the way home and grab a quick dinner to take home. I buy their roasted chicken often...they are delicious.
.
5. Buy a crock pot. You put everything into the pot in the morning, set it on low for 8 hours, and your dinner will be ready for you when you come home in the evening! I kid you not. Be sure to read the instruction booklet.
There is a recipe booklet that comes with the crock pot. You can buy crock pots at places such as your grocery store, Walmart, and etc.

Here are 1,160 crock pot recipes:

Original Question

What are some healthy sandwich recipes?

Q. I need to some healthy sandwich recipes,..peanut butter and jelly isn't working for me (p.s. -i'm a body builder)

A. I like to make vegetarian sandwiches. Ubber healthy.

Take high fiber bread such as Squirrly bread, spread on light or non fat cream cheese to each slice, add thinly sliced tomatoes and cucumbers (whatever appeals to you) and some alphalfa sprouts.
NUM!

Or for higher proteins roast chicken or turkey slices with roasted red peppers on the same type of bread with low fat mayo.

Just an idea anyway.

What are some delicious, healthy, and simple recipes for a brown-bag-type lunch?

Q. I'm getting pretty sick of turkey sandwiches, so I was wondering if anyone had any healthy, relatively quick and simple recipes for a good brown bag lunch. Thanks in advance!! :)

A. Chop veggies. Chop your turkey. Toss with balsamic and olive oil. You gots lunch. Add a chopped boiled egg for extra protein. (I like to chop all of my ingredients, put them in separate containers, and mix them AT LUNCH time. I don't like how tomatoes can get gross and cover everything with slime, so I slice or chop them and give them their own brown bag vessel)

Cottage cheese is a good one. You can dress it up with all kinds of stuff. Toasted almond slivers and fruit pieces--dried fruit pieces, even. Very filling, adn good for you.

Fruit salad--grapes, apples/pears, berries, honeydew, jicama, cucumber-- with walnuts tossed with lime, salt, and honey -0r- yogurt and granola. I like to candy my own nuts (so I can control the sugar) and chop those up and top off my greek yogurt and fruit salad with them.

Tomato, balsamic, basil, olive oil, balsamic, salt and pepper=good snack

couscous or quinoa salad with sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese.

Really, you just have to get creative with lunch combinations and cook ahead of time. Sunday night, prepare and grill 5-7 chicken breasts then reinvent the wheel--make chicken sammiches, chicken salad (with grape halves, or craisins, celery, onion, salt, pepper, maybe apple?, or pear?, perhaps a few of those candied nuts I spoke of previously.

Get in contact with me, I can throw lots of ideas your way. Prepare your stuff days in advance and it saves you time all week.
