Lunch ideas please?

[WetSausageRoll]

What do you all have for lunch that doesn’t use too many syns or healthy extras? I eat anything and everything (hence why I’m a bit fat haha!)

Omelette, jacket potato or home made oven chips (using Frylight) with baked beans or salad 🙂 Sometimes home made soup but it always makes me want bread 😊

I need new ideas. I normally have a soup, salad or leftovers but want some new ideas but don't have access to anything in work so abit limited really

Is this at home or at work, OP?

Soups, big bowl of chunky veg soup with lentils/Pearl barley/other pulses.
Pasta salad with just lemon juice squeezed over
Rice salad same as above.
Left overs from the night before, pasta bake/stir fry

This is not slimming world but one of my own lunches I make and it's still low fat and low sugar. It's 30g of pasta, white or wholewheat, 15g of feta crumbled, a sprinkling of pine nuts, babyleaf spinach, some chopped cucumber, some chopped avocado and 4-5 cherry tomatoes halved. You only have to cook the pasta. Just mix it all together with some low fat salad dressing and you can have 1 small fillet of fish or chicken with it

Also not slimming world. Cube up half a potato, microwave it to soften it, let cool for a few minutes to harden a little and fry in a little olive oil or frylight until looking golden, fry some onion, pepper and green beans with it. Edamame beans and pine nuts also make a nice addition to this. You can also add 15g of a low fat cheese to this too, I love feta. Use whatever seasonings or dressing you like on it

Omelette made with 2 or 3 eggs, filled with 4 birds eye green cuisine sweet potato and carrot bites. You can also spread a little tomato puree or sauce in and chuck in 2 dairylee light cheese triangles if you want to

These are not slimming world but I guarantee you they are all low fat and low sugar.

Mini naan pizza: toast 1 sharwoods mini low fat naan bread and top with a little tomato puree, sprinkle a little low fat cheese on top and add whatever veg and wop under the grill. Have salad on the side

Chickpea patties, makes about 4: into a good processor chuck a 15 ounce can of chickpeas, half a red onion, 2 garlic cloves (optional), 2 tablespoons tomato puree or 3 sun-dried tomatoes, half a cup of fresh parsley or dried in a pot, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon corriander, 1 teaspoon salt, half a cup of flour and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Just whizz this all together until smooth, shape into 4 patties and to cook you can either fry for 3 minutes on each side or bake in the oven for 20 minutes. They come out a little dryer in the oven. Put 1 in a large spinach tortilla and add some guacamole, a little tomato salsa and a little salad, all in the right proportions so you can still wrap the tortilla up.

I make a lot of soups which are all or mostly speed. Some of my favourites are;

Roasted tomato, pepper and garlic
Pumpkin
Pumpkin and cauliflower
Carrot and butterbean
Lentil with onions and carrots
Leek and potato
Spiced split pea

Alternatively I have 2 slices of wholemeal bread with some protein such as ham, smoked salmon, hard boiled egg, tuna, with a big salad of speed veg, so combinations of lettuce, red cabbage, spinach; rocket, carrot, celery, pepper, cucumber, radish, spring onion, red onion and cold cooked leftover veg like squash, pumpkin, carrot, celeriac, fennel, asparagus, aubergine etc

Sometimes I have leftovers from dinner the evening before, which could be curry, pasta and sauce, risotto etc.

Basically I try to eat as much veg as possible!

1 Warburton's thin filled with 3 veggie fingers, done grilled red pepper, sliced tomato, a little tomato chutney and 1 slice of leerdammer light cheese. Have cous cous and salad on the side .

I'll stop going on now I just have alot of ideas. I ate all these things when I lost 3 stone
