Bread free lunches

[bringbacktony]

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to cut out all bread (and to a large extent, pasta) from my diet, mainly just to see what effect this has. Whilst I'm fine for breakfast and my evening meal, I'm struggling quite a bit with lunches to have at work.

What suggestions would you make?

Flask of soup,
Salads all sorts,
Oatcakes and hummus (if it is just wheat you are avoiding

You need the scary girls who are in the ZONE - see the nothing tastes as good as slim feels thread in the big/slim/whatever topic
HTH

I am eating salad. Lots and lots of salad. I don't even LIKE salad.. but basically I buy a bag of salad leaves which lasts 2 days and add either prawns or smoked fish. I also have a portion of fruit salad.

Potato salad
Black pepper ryvita (spicy) with cream cheese
Couscous & roast veg
Rice and veggie salad
Corn tortilla wraps with meat and salad
Oatcakes, mature cheddar, and apple

(I dont eat wheat things and not having sandwiches is torture sometimes)

Oatcakes, vintage cheddar and an apple or rock hard pear is one of the best work lunches, I think. Quick and easy to put together in the morning and hassle-free at work.

Do you have access to a microwave, as that opens up a whole world of choices - including leftovers from dinner the night before.

theuninvitedguest - where do you buy your corn tortillas? I am desperate to find some as all I see have some wheat in still.

OP - Ryvitas and oatcakes are what I live on for lunches

Actually I mostly buy them in the US in large quantities and freeze them when I get home!

But Old El Paso do them, look in the supermarket near the nacho kits and so on. Not everywhere sells them, now that the wheat wraps are all the rage.
