But I find it difficult to have good meals on the run that don't include meat, chicken, or fish. Eating healthfully on the run is difficult enough, but when you cut meat, fish, or poultry from your list of possibilities and add the desire to shed unwanted pounds, it may seem like an Olympic challenge. But it's not impossible. Add some low-fat salad dressing and pita bread, and you'll be in heaven.
Bean soups can also be part of a hearty lunch or dinner.
Order a hearty bowl and grab a packaged salad along with a whole grain bagel, roll, or bread. A slice or two of pizza with vegetables and a salad is a quick fix and can be found at most pizza parlors. Some fast-food restaurants, such as Wendy's, offer baked potatoes. Order it plain along with a side of steamed broccoli. Then head for the salad bar and scoop low-fat cottage cheese to top your broccoli spud.
