hey guys, I was wondering if some of you could give me a few ideas on what else to bring in my lunch. This is what I currently eat for lunch on a usual weekday:
Turkey Sandwich - 20 Carbs
Apple - 10 Carbs
TLC Flax seed bar - 15 Carbs
I need something else to make up some of the calories, but I don't really need more carbs. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Nuts or cheese? Olives? More green veg?

I was also going to suggest some cheese or nuts or even a hard boiled egg.

String cheese, hard boiled egg, cottage cheese, berries, unsalted shelled sunflower seeds, or raw almonds.

Everyone here is Nuts! I just had to say that...
I can try nuts and/or cheese, any other ideas?
Cole slaw ... ? It is my favorite "filler" food I just buy the commercial cabbage and add OO and V for dressing.
Raw broccoli and cauliflower, too. Not many calories there, though.
Peanut butter on celery?
Walnuts? (Omega-3's!).

why not try tuna/mayo sandwich? probably more calories than turkey. a tuna melt is good too, like an open faced tuna sandwich with melted cheddar on top. yum!
my other suggestions would be turkey bites (like turkey pepperettes), cheese, nut butters (to go with that apple, delish!), cream cheese and celery, a square or two of 85% dark chocolate (lots of calories, very few carbs, and VERY good!), unsweetened almond milk, and add bacon to your turkey sandwich. hope that helps!

My lunch (before this crazy 1530-some kcal diet I'm on started) was as following:
One hard boiled egg, one carrot, some broccoli, some cabbage and half an apple, pear, orange and some pineapple. Oh, and one 0 carb hamburger.
