Fancy Lunchables

I eat these during the work day generally.
It doesn't need to be heated up.
Perfect to pack if you're going somewhere.

Sometimes I don't have the energy to cook.
Sometimes it's too hot to cook.
Sometimes I want to eat straight out the fridge.

Here are my favorite combinations <3

Prosciutto and Brie

Inspired by all the memorable sandwiches I had in Italy on that pizza bianca bread.

Item Weight(g) Protein(g) Fat(g) Carbohydrates(g)
Water Crackers 30 2 3 24
Proscuitto 156 36 24 0
Brie 28 6 8 0
Total - 44 35 24

(44g * 4 cal/g) + (35 * 9 cal/g) + (24 * 4 cal/g) =

Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese

Inspired by chicken wings I routinely order at a bar.
I buy the oven-roasted sliced chicken from the grocery store and dip it in Frank's Buffalo Wing sauce.

Water Crackers 30 2 3 24
Deli chicken 100 22 3 2
