6 Quick Tasty Sandwiches Under 300 Calories

If you are trying to lose weight and are getting a little bored of eating the same sandwiches for lunch everyday, take a look at these 6 quick tasty sandwiches under 300 calories that are bursting with flavour but will keep you on track to reach your weight loss goals.

Crunchy Hummus Wrap

Simply add store-bought hummus to a whole-wheat wrap, and top it with crunchy radishes, yellow carrots, and a slice of heart-healthy avocado.  Add a handful of peppery rocket,  roll the sandwich up, and enjoy! 251 calories

 

Turkey-Dijon Toastie

It's easy to cut calories from the traditional turkey club recipe.   First, use less turkey than restaurant versions (1/4-pound at most). Next, omit the bacon and use Dijon mustard instead of mayo. Add a thin slice of low-fat cheese for gooey flavor, add a bit of pepper and get your sandwich crispy in a nonstick skillet with cooking spray. 245 calories

 

Grilled Mushroom Melt

Grilled cheese may not have the reputation of a healthy sandwich, but add sautéed mushrooms and two slices of low-fat cheddar cheese, and you can enjoy your childhood favorite without guilt. Better yet, use whole wheat bread and cook your sandwich on an indoor grill pan instead of a buttery skillet. 271 calories

 

Caprese Salad Roll-Up

To translate this high-fat salad into a low calorie meal, use part-skim fresh mozzarella (4 ounces), juicy diced tomatoes, basil leaves, mixed greens, and a drizzle of balsamic. Roll it all together in a whole wheat tortilla, and you've got a portion controlled, healthy sandwich version of your favorite salad. 245 calories

 

Tuna Burgers

Using fish instead of hamburger is a great trick to make tasty low calorie burgers. Pack together 1/4 pound minced Yellowfin Tuna, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Sear your burgers in a nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and enjoy on half of a whole-wheat bun (use an English muffin to cut even more calories). Top your patty with extra mustard and a handful of arugula. 293 calories

 

Roasted Eggplant Sandwiches

Roasting vegetables like eggplant and red onion with a small amount of olive oil is a great way to concentrate their flavors and keep the calorie count down. Add these roasted veggies to wholemeal bread with 2 tablespoons of hummus, and you have a great healthy vegetarian meal. 298 calories
