Lunch: Bologna sandwich (2 slices white bread, 2 slices bologna, mustard) Substitute bologna with a low-Na meat, perhaps chicken or turkey; no mustard, low-Na, low-fat mayo would be okay (2 meat, 2 starch, one fat)

• Obviously there is no one answer for this question.
• They will (and should) vary from person to person.
• The important part of this question is the nutrient analysis to ensure components of the nutrition prescription are met.
