If you don't like salads, think of any other lunch you can imagine and eat that. Plan, measure, and weigh to make whatever you're having fit in your day.

You definitely don't have to eat salad for it to be low calorie. Here's some ideas:

Soup
Meat/veggies
Wraps with veggies and meat
Greek yogurt and fruit
Protein bars
Veggies and hummus
Cottage cheese

What kind of things do you like? Do you hate salads because you hate lettuce? I like to do a load of grilled veggies and then some sort of protein (chicken or turkey burgers lately). Or you can make lo-cal tuna salad and have in a lettuce wrap or portion down things you do like. I love leftovers for lunch personally!

Anything that's not salad?

I hardly ever eat salads though I am having one tonight.

Spinach
Tomatoes
Green onions
Cucumbers
Mushrooms
Cheese
Topped off with spicy shrimp

On the side some roasted cauliflower and broccoli

I haven't figured the calories yet but I am estimating around 400...give or take a few.

For lunch I did a chicken taco mix with pita crackers. It came to 290 calories.

I usually have leftovers or a sandwich for my lunch.

OP...what do you consider low calorie. There are some here that think 700-800 is low!

We need a range before we can help you very much.

SOUP!

Sandwiches
Leftovers from home
Bento boxes
Sushi
Microwave meals (though they're high in sodium)
Fast food/cafeteria food (just keep in mind that it's harder to control your calories when eating out)
Slice of pizza (if you can stop at one and it fits in your goals)

There are so many options! Start with what you're already eating for lunch and look for healthier swaps. Salad is not required for weight loss!

Your salads dont have to consist of lettuce or greens of any kind if you don't like them. I love roasted veggie and pasta salad, soups, etc.
