Hit me with some inspiration for lunches around 250-280 calories!

The higher the protein and fibre content the better.

Thank you🙌

I'll do tinned soup and then a load of plain old grilled/air fryed etc chicken breast. Or a load of salad and chicken. Lots and lots of chicken/prawns/similar lean protein.

I make frittata by filling a dish with non carby veg and possibly a small amount of grated extra strong cheese, pour over eggs depending on size of dish but ratio of one egg plus one egg white. Typically I have 2 eggs gigs, 2 egg whites and veg for around 250 calories.

Also make a jug of soup every week - I like Nigel slaters leek and cauliflower. Usually a big bowl of soup comes in at 150-200 calories so could eat with eg couple of Kallo lentil cakes.
