Rest Day Recipe: Low Calorie Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

Half Eaten Low Calories 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)

This meal was definitely filling and as always the calories can be cut even more by buying even healthier products such as smaller wheat tortillas, low fat cheese or turkey bacon (I was just using some leftover ingredients from around my house :P ). Happy Eating! :)
