1 slice bread (remember mine is the low cal so I have a little extra), 1/2 cup albacore tuna in water, and a cup of Oolong tea.
First off I was shocked that a can of tuna is 1/2 cup. That is protein to the extreme and definitely contributes to feeling contently full. Since tuna is quite bland on its own I added a dash of pepper and Mrs. Dash salt-free seasoning blend in Lemon Pepper.
The extra pepper and Mrs. Dash made the tuna tolerable. I still prefer mayo with my tuna, but sometimes you have to just say, "I have willpower!" This was actually my first time trying Mrs. Dash. I see people at work use it and it's not bad considering it is salt-free. The reason I chose the Lemon Pepper flavor is because it is suggested seasoning for fish, eggs, vegetables, shellfish, turkey, and tuna. The diet requires you to eat a ton of veggies (I'm already gagging at the thought of beat), eggs, tuna, etc., so I think this seasoning will come in handy. The alternative was a butter spray, but I have a feeling I'm not allowed to use that for flavoring.
Another large glass of sugar-free lemonade followed by the Oolong and that is lunch. The verdict? I feel content and am satisfied.
