What are some low-cholesterol lunches?

Here are some low-cholesterol lunch ideas, with main entrees that can be mixed or matched and will stay with you until the next meal.

   1. One cup of healthy low-fat, low cholesterol soup, such as a homemade vegetable soup, served with a serving of whole-wheat garlic-flavored pita chips. Serve with a helping of raw vegetables with non-fat ranch dressing, yogurt, or light mayonnaise.

   2. A vegetable wrap with a whole-wheat tortilla, soy cheese or low-fat cheese, and fat-free ranch or mayo and served with fresh fruit with low-fat fruit dip to top it off.

   3. Left-over roast beef (3 ounces) served on a whole-grain bagel. Dress it up with lettuce, tomato, fat-free or cholesterol-free mayo, and serve with some raw veggies and a favorite low-fat veggie dip.

   4. One cup no-meat or black bean chili, made with chili beans, onion, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes and served with a tossed salad with low-fat or fat-free dressing.
   
  5. Tuna salad made with low-sodium tuna, fat-free mayo, or non-fat yogurt on two slices of whole wheat bread, a whole-grain bagel or toasted english muffin, served with carrot sticks and your favorite low-fat yogurt.

Other entrees including soy burgers on whole-wheat buns, fruit salads, and whole-wheat pita bread pizzas with marinara sauce. Veggies and non-fat mozzarella cheese are also good tradeoffs.
