Also, dairy products have been shown to aid in fat loss. The cheese sandwich is a great idea but you might want to use only one slice of a whole wheat bread to lower the carb content in relation to the protein content....Lanny Schaffer...

It is great on a sandwich or as a protein rich dip for raw veggies. It is easy and delicious, try it.

I have also been ingesting 'fat-free' (less than 0.5 grams of fat per reference amount and per labelled serving of a food) cheese for a long period of time, and it is made from skim milk. I find that it tastes great and is a great topping on lunch meats. Keep in mind that it is still processed and that there are preservatives in the cheese. But the protein content is the same as skim milk. (It is complete) Below is a list of food with the best sources of protein:
Taken from: 'http://www.getbulky.com/Info/Food/PROTEIN.htm'
Food Protein Rating
Eggs 100
Fish 70 (Salmon is the best)
Cow's Milk 60
Lean Beef 69
Soybeans 47
Dry Beans 34
Peanuts 43
Whole-grain Wheat 44
Brown Rice 57
White Rice 56
White Potato 34
(The rating means the percent of amino acids in the food that your body will actually use.)
Your ham sandwich is practical and healthy, but if you are looking for a perfect combination for a lunch try flax whole grain bread with omega-3 eggs and boneless skinless chicken breast with some veggies on top. The flax, and omega-3 is the good fats, the eggs and chicken breast are your complete protein.. etc. (just remember too much of anything isn?t great!)
I hope this helped!
