 Best Supermarket Lunches

Half a can of chili might seem like a small lunch, but if you’re worried it won’t fill your stomach, don’t be. Each serving delivers 13 grams of fiber and 13 grams of protein, and after you melt in a handful of shredded cheese, add few slices of avocado, and drop in a few scoops of Greek yogurt (an excellent stand-in for sour cream, by the way), you’ve just built a tidy meal that hits all the buttons of satiety: protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
