I'm trying to give up bread - what can I eat for lunch instead of sandwiches?

[PuppyMonkey]

Just having a bit of an experiment for a week or so to see if I can go without bread - no particular reason, although I do get quite a few spots (I'm 43 ) and several people have mentioned bread might be a reason??? I dunno.

I usually have toast for brekky, sandwiches for lunch, bread with my evening meal. Aaaaagh. Really struggling with lunch ideas. I am a bit picky and don't like pasta.. What the heck ele do people eat for lunch? Baked potatoes? Salads (yawn), crackers . There must be other stuff...

potato salad and cold sliced meat? Mind you potato salad not really diet food. Maybe a potato salad made with a bit of oil instead of mayonnaise.

Friend of mine swears by sliced chicken (just ready sliced from the supermarket) with a bit of mustard for breakfast. Just that. She has a lovely figure.

I love sardines, so a tin of sardines with tommy sauce is idea for me - I eat outside in the summer though

cous cous with raw vegtables and a oil and garlic dressing

a food flask is a good idea if you havn't got a fridge or heating facilities - then you just make sure you make an extra portion in the evening and i always put the dishes out and the tupperware when I didsh up, keep it in the fridge and in the morning heat it up and add a little boiling water to the flask, and swill out - then out in food and seal with a little boiling water and ut lid on.

What about a great big fat heated in the oven proper Cornish pasty! Oooooh. And so much better for you than a ham sandwich.

Is a pasty really better for you than a ham sandwich bibbity? That's exciting!

shepherds pie

i gave up wheat and dairy and ate shepherds pie all the time, loads of it with chips and still lost three stone in 5 months

Tis. Because no yeast or gluten, you see. Dr Gillian McKeith told me.

She said you should have at least two a week, actually.

With a Greggs sausage roll on Fridays.

No gluten you say? woo hoo! I'm quittin' bread and bakin' pasties!

(great thread puppymonkey btw)

When I was lo-carbin' I would keep a wodge of sliced salami in the fridge to nibble on. And some cubed feta.
Fattening but proteintastic!

Just catching up on this after having to leave the thread last night and thanks all so much for the suggestions. I feel quite inspired by it all. Bye bye bread!!!!
