Thanks for stopping by! Every Monday I’m posting a meal hack to encourage healthier eating and weight loss.

I’ve been bulking lunches up with fruits and vegetables (when I’m not eating a straight salad) to keep points low, and my stomach fuller, for longer. I’ve cut out most breads at meal time with the exception of One Bun Folded Flats I found at Costco when I need a carb fix. The Hot & Sweet Mustard from Trader Joe’s drizzled on top makes this one of my favorite lunches.

Open Face Sandwich

I purchased the One Bun, and lunch meat at Costco. The cabbage and mustard I found at Trader Joe’s. Any of these items can be substituted for comparable point products. You can always lower the points by selecting 1 slice of lunch meat (1 point) instead of 2 (3 points).

What you need:

• 1 – One Bun Folded Flat – 3 points
• 2 slices Columbus Rotisserie Seasoned Chicken Breast (reduced sodium, 98% Fat Free) – 3 points
• Handful of green shredded cabbage – 0 points
• Hot & Sweet mustard for drizzling – negligible

6 points per serving (4 if only using one slice of lunch meat)

Fruit & Cool Whip

Most fruits won’t cost you any points on the WW program, but sometimes it’s nice to add a little sweetness with a dollop of Cool Whip.

2 tbsp = 1 point
