Rest Day Recipe: Low Calorie Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
Let me just tell you that this is one of my all time favorite lunch meat sandwiches to take to work on a regular basis--it's high in protein, healthy fats, and most importantly leaves you feeling full and satisfied when served with a small side!
What you need:
- 2 slices Sara Lee 45 calorie Healthy Multi-grain bread (90 calories)
- 3-4 slices (aka like 4 oz) of your local deli's buffalo chicken (approx. 100 calories)
- 1 slice of Sargento's Thin Sliced Colby Jack Cheese (40 calories)
- 1 tablespoon Kraft Mayo with Olive Oil (45 calories)
- 1-2 pieces of lettuce to add a little crunch (optional - 5 calories)
CALORIE TOTAL: 275 Calories
PS: Sorry about the half-eaten sandwich photos...I wasn't lying when I said this is my all time favorite lunch meat sandwich.

Carlee's Homemade Mini Breakfast Wraps
I don't know about most of you, but I often find it really difficult to eat healthy when life gets crazy busy. I like to make things ahead of time to take on the go that are simple, healthy, low in calories AND DELICIOUS. These mini breakfast wraps are are definitely one of my favorite pre-prepared meals--clocking in at only 260 calories. I usually will eat one or two fresh then freeze the rest of them for those mornings I'm running a little bit late :P Ingredients:
- Eggs (and milk for fluffy eggs)
- Cheese
- Tortillas
You can also watch me struggle to film myself making them on my Day 17 video. lol :P
