What's for lunch 1/7/13

Taco Tub
Brown rice, Tomato, Cheese, 
Salsa and Romaine
Chipotle Vinaigrette
Add Chicken on request
Zesty Black Beans
Fresh Fruit 


The taco tub  is a new item this year.   The brown rice is a great whole grain. The black beans are canned. The southwest-style chicken is from Tyson and described as diced, cooked "chicken meat." Read more about farm animals raised by industrial giants like Tyson, antibiotics and hormones.  The bowl comes from Smokewood Foods. The ingredients are described just as "enriched masa flour" and they look like a big rectangular corn chip. They have 5g of fat and no sodium.  


The cheese is Monterrey Jack cheese and the beans are canned.   The corn is frozen and as always fresh fruit is available.  

This is a gluten free meal if taken without the tub.  The salad bar and pepper jack quesadilla are available.  

After over indulging during the holiday season, I have been thinking a lot of getting rid of meat in my diet. I am concerned about getting enough protein. I stumbled upon this chart. ©YumUniverse_Plant_Protein_Chart2.jpg.  Take a look. You might be surprised at the fact that you really don't need to eat meat to get protein.  I am a big fan of yumuniverse.com.  She has great recipes for gluten free plant based diets.
