Lunch and a snack for later

I will be posting foods that I eat with their nutritional value. In the past I would attempt to cook healthy recipes from magazines and books. 90 percent of the recipes I found called for expensive and/or rare ingredients. Or plainly too many ingredients and prep time took too long. I still take joy in finding an awesome healthy dinner recipe that takes time and preperation but I like to shop easy and simple. So here is today's lunch and snack I will have later.

• Lunch

1 5oz can of premium chunk white chicken
Hand full of lettuce
Tomato wedge
1/4 Cup of Black eye peas
2 boiled egg whites
Salt and pepper to taste

208 calories
2 grams fat
11 carbs
36 grams protien

• Snack in between Lunch and Dinner

1/4 cup raisins
10 almonds
25 cashew pieces

12 grams fat
37 carbs
5 grams protien

You might think 12 grams of fat is too much for this snack.  Yes that is as much as a small snickers bar but this is healthy fat and your body depends on it.  You can feel good eating this snack at this proportion.
