I created this recipe after visiting Memphis (one of my favorite food cities). You'll swear you're eating an authentic pulled chicken BBQ sandwich — slaw 'n all!

These patties are super-low-cal and high in fiber! And not only are they great for lunch or dinner, they're also perfect for breakfast! BTW, if you accidentally ate all five of these in one sitting (oops!), you'd only take in 350 calories, and you'd down a whopping 25 grams of fiber. Wow!

HG SANDWICH SHOCKER!
Think the average tuna sandwich is your best bet for a light lunch? Sorry, Charlie! Our fishy friend from the sea is often swimming in fat-filled mayo. A tuna salad sandwich can actually have more calories than a 12-ounce filet mignon. Eeeek!

Your Office = Your Gym?
No time to head out for a workout? Turn simple office staples (as in common items, not the pointy metal pieces used to secure documents!) into an at-work gym. Try doing a few of these fun fitness drills periodically throughout the day. .
Cardio Quickies:walk some stairs in your office building for 5 minutes (if there are no stairs, walk around the office at a quick pace). for a heart-pumping challenge, take stairs two at a time.
Chair Squats:while sitting, lift your butt off the seat and hover over your chair for 2 to 3 seconds. stand up and then repeat.
Chair Dips:make sure your chair is stable. place your hands on the chair, next to your hips. walk your feet out and move your hips in front of your chair, and bend your elbows, lowering your body until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle. return to starting position and repeat.
Ab Recliners:again, be sure your chair is stable. sit on the edge of your chair, arms extended in front. keeping your back straight, contract your abs and slowly lower your torso toward the back of your chair. hold for 2 to 3 seconds, and then slowly return to starting position. repeat.
