Grilled meat and steamed green veggies at home. At work, green salads
and celery mostly. Sometimes I'll take some chopped chicken or other
meat to put in the salads at work. Canned tuna/tuna salad is good too

Sounds yummy! I've taken to grilling zucchini lately. Slice it
lengthwise in half and sprinkle with lemon pepper, dill weed and sesame
seeds and grill for about 3 minutes.

I also like zuke's raw, dipped in a low fat dressing.
