Lunch can be that stubborn meal of the day where you’re either hesitant of what to eat or are afraid you’ll eat too much. The easiest thing to do is to prep ahead of time so you know exactly how many calories you’re eating along with the other important macronutrients like protein, carbs and fat. If you’re still unsure what a low-calorie lunch should look like, check out these five easy lunches that are each under 300 calories. You’ll definitely see that eating within calorie restrictions actually isn’t all that restrictive. You still get a lot of delicious food that works with your body instead of against it.

You may even decide to eat this for your next breakfast—if you can wait that long!
