I'm really struggling for lunch ideas right now. I'm in a rut and nothing sounds appealing, so I'm looking to you guys for inspiration Grin

What did you have for lunch today?

@PaperMonster
What is a low carb wrap? Do you make them yourself or buy them in the store. What are they made of and do they taste good? Sorry for all the questions I'm just intrigued

AdaColeman · 07/08/2020 21:37

Bull’s heart tomato (from Sorrento!) and burrata cheese with wholemeal bread, followed by limoncello ice cream and fresh figs. Wine

Due to a combination of having to do a ten hour round car trip in this heat (don't ask) and following a low carb diet I just ate the filling of a crustless quiche Grin.

Jacket potato and left over chilli.

A waffle and ice cream Blush

Supermodels, crisps, a Freddo. And then I complain that I am fat...

BadDucks · 07/08/2020 22:23

Mashed avocado on toasted sourdough
I also like bagel thins with smoked salmon and cream cheese

Crownofthorns · 07/08/2020 22:25

A gluten free roll with ham and tomato in it and a tangerine. On a very strict diet so lunch is a bit boring and repetitive most days.

BarkingHat · 07/08/2020 22:28

Fishfingers wrap and salad with yoghurt and salsa and jalapeños.

Inextremis · 07/08/2020 22:33

A lemon yoghurt with a tablespoon of milled linseed. Not really 'lunch', but I ate it at lunchtime.

eurochick · 07/08/2020 22:33

A slice of homemade sourdough fresh out of the oven with a selection of bits from the fridge - hummus, goats cheese, cucumber, carrots, peppers.

AwkwardSquad · 07/08/2020 22:37

Today we had garlic mushrooms on malted-grain toast, with a salad of finely chopped tomatoes, cucumber and peppers with sumac and preserved lemons spooned over it. Wouldn’t normally have put the two together but it was delicious.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 07/08/2020 23:13

Since WFH we have really struggled with lunches. Today was sausage sandwiches with lots of ketchup. Other days this week have been:

Scrambled eggs on toast
Toasted English muffin with poached egg and beans
Leftover quiche (shop bought) with salad
Heinz tomato soup with a grilled cheese and ham sandwich (half each of both)

Meangallery · 07/08/2020 23:16

I made some goat breads on the BbQ and beef kofte served with some leftover dips From the night before. Used to eat leftovers but teenage Ds eats everything in sight!

Pebblexox · 07/08/2020 23:17

A cheese twist from lidl, and a triple chocolate chip cookie ... probably not the best for lunch inspiration haha.

PurpleDaisies · 07/08/2020 23:22

Homemade carrot soup with homemade carrot top pesto (guess what I got in the veg box!) plus posh bread. It was bloody lovely.

RightOnTheEdge · 07/08/2020 23:22

A cheese and onion crisp sandwich on white bread with plenty of lurpack. I really enjoyed it too Grin

PaperMonster · 08/08/2020 10:40

@imissthesouth I got them from CarbZone to take on holiday with us. Sorry - currently on a beach with no access to the packet!! At home I make DietDoctor mug bread usually at lunchtime.

imissthesouth · 08/08/2020 11:57

@PaperMonster
Thankyou I'll have a look for some, enjoy the beach!

User56770987 · 08/08/2020 12:53

Parma ham, chicken, pineapple cottage cheese, avocado, cucumber.
Would have added salad leaves and tomatoes but didn't have any.

YgritteSnow · 08/08/2020 12:56

Crab salad. A whole dressed crab from M&S, salad and mayonnaise. An expensive treat tbh but absolutely delicious.

Mominatrix · 08/08/2020 12:57

Large Pimms cup, handful of almonds, 2 fistfuls of crisps, quarter of a cucumber sliced and salted, and a cut up tomato. FAR too hot and muggy to cook.

beautifulmonument · 08/08/2020 12:57

Today for my lunch I put a sliced hard boiled egg onto a piece of toast then layered some cheese on top and grilled it. It was delicious.

Ardnassa · 08/08/2020 13:03

Small baguette, mozzarella and roasted med vegetables on the side. Followed by an almond magnum.
