Introduction
This is a great lunch when you're looking for something high in protein. I eat it with 2 slice of wheat bread and a slice of 2% cheese melted over top but if you want less calories, you could also eat it over lettuce as a salad. The recipe serves 2.

Ingredients
-
1 can of low sodium tuna
1 small dill pickle (could use celery or cucumber if you're worried about sodium)
1 hard boiled egg white (I just use the whites for low cholesterol but it only adds about another 40 calories to use the whole egg)
30g greek yogurt (~2 tbsp) (I use 2% Fage)
4 slices light wheat bread (I use Nature's Own Light Wheat)
2 slices 2% american cheese (I use Kraft)
onion powder and dried dill
Directions
Chop the egg white and ill pickle. Mix together the first four ingredients with a fork. Add onion powder and dried dill to taste. Divide the mixture in half and spread each portion over a slice of wheat bread. Top with 1 slice of cheese and the other piece of bread. Place the sandwich on a nonstick cooking pan and cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side (until the bread turns brown). Serve with carrot sticks for a serving of vegetables.
