Packed lunches for work

[Eliza9917]

Starting back on SW today and need some ideas for lunches. What do you have?

[drquin]

Leftover portion of whatever was for dinner last.
Baked potato, done in oven the night before, heated in microwave for 90 seconds.
Couscous with roasted veg or salad veg.
Ryvita & smoked salmon pate.

[Groovee]

Leftovers from the night before. Soup, egg muffins packed with speed, salads, tuna with potatoes, green beans, eggs, lettuce, tomato and cucumber is a favourite.

@Groove, does the speed in muffins make you more productive? I'd have thought narcotics were frowned upon during work hours. 😉

[Eliza9917]

I might make a chicken & veg soup for this weeks lunches then plan a proper menu for next week.

[Groovee]

Try announcing to the waiter that it's all about the speed 🤣

I was given a really nice stainless steel two-tier lunchbox which I find a pleasure to fill! I make enough lentil salad for a few days (two tins of brown/green lentils mixed with a stock cube and sautéed garlic, red onion, chilli and coriander stalks- so tasty) and fill the bottom layer with that. Then fill the top layer with handful of spinach, cooked chicken and any other salad veg. Also take a few pieces of fruit and a bit of cheese. That’s plenty to keep my going.

Tina pasta salad with salad dressing rather than mayo.
Sandwich using HEB and lots of salad and cold meat.
Soup-most soups can be made slimming world friendly and they're good and filling.

I always have a few mugshots in my locker just incase I don't get time for a proper lunch.

I take a lot of raw veggies incase I get hungry to snack on too.

Chicken and egg salad everyday. Except the days when I have ham and egg salad

Weekends it's usually a jacket or omlette.

[Solina]

I do lots of pasta or rice salads normally plus some fruit and maybe yogurt to have as a snack. Or I might do a jacket potato/sweet potato with beans and cheese and some s veggies on the side.

I find looking for recipes on websites like pinch of nom, slimming eats etc. can give you an idea of what to make and then just tweake if necessary.

[Eliza9917]

Don't you get bored @OwlinaTree?

Today I've had protein fromage frais & a banana and a small pot of mango. I've got a kiwi, melon & strawberry pot left.

For lunch I've got a salad bowl & fat free vinaigrette, some ham, tomato, 3 babybel lights & coleslaw. I've also got half a pot of pasta left but I don't think I'll eat that as its high in syns - 10 for the whole pot.

[OwlinaTree]

I'm at work so it's just fuel then. Jackets are ok at weekend because you can have different fillings.

[sunshineNdaisies]

soup, mullerlights, sandwich (using HEb) and sliced chicken with zero syn sauce for flavour (from skinny sauces)

[ivykaty44]

I have been making the garlic prawn noddles and dividing into 4 portions and having cold for lunch .

Or the chilli bean bowl and divide into 4 four lunch

My problem is there are 5 lunches

So Wednesday or Thursday I portion one meal up from the evening meal to eat on Friday

I do make a few of the soups from the recipes online and do that in a soup maker - seems to work and I have a couple in the freezer
