Hi everyone

Thanks for all your help, I'm sat planning all our meals for next week now before we go shopping. here's to a succesful week for all!

Hi and Welcome to Minimins and SW.
You will need to post 50 times to access a lot of the features like personal messages and profile pic. There are some tutorials on how to add weight tickers etc so get posting ( the chit chat games area is good for post boosting)

Have a search on the Recipe forum in SW there have been hundreds of lunch idea threads.

Do you have lunch at home or need things for work??
If at work what facilities do you have access to??

Hi
I do green weekdays, not because Im vegetarian but because a) its easier with an office job and b) bread doesnt agree with me either. Today I baked 6 large potatoes so that I have one a day with a snackpot of baked beans - into the microwave and hey presto! Also have 4 boiled in the fridge, Spanish Omelette, a stew made in the slow cooker and put into individual foil dishes (just warm up on plate in microwave) Cheese Triangles and Finn Crisp, lots of Snack Pot Yoghurts and in case of emergency or boredom, Fat Free Super Noodles!

Hope that helps

Hi guys,

It was great to come across this forum this evening, and to know that there is a few peeps in the same boat......

Anyway, i was looking for some quick and easy ideas for lunch while at work?

Can anyone help?

Thanx

Hi and welcome - the question of lunches comes up a lot so take a look at this thread from yesterday

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-wor...unchboxes.html

There is also a thread in the main forum about what people eat for lunch

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-wor...-tomorrow.html

thank you the idea of cooking the potatoes in advance is a really good idea...may do that...that means i can then have quorn pieces and veg in the vening rather than having more pot/rice.

ah i wondered if it was something to do with posting right better get commenting then....this site is so new and confusing..aaahhh

by any chance you wouldnt happen to know how many syns are in alepn light bars..x

I find this site is better than staying to class. you get much more good ideas for food.

Hiya! There are 3 syns in an Alpen Light or you can have 2 as your Healthy Extra B

I melt 2 choc and fudge Aplen lights in the microwave and stir them into a cheesecake Muller light (1 syn) and it tastes delicious!! ...

Thanks everyone some good ideas there

I don't like 'blended' soups ... don't know why, just don't. The only soups I like are chunky homemade minestrone type stuff.

Is asda chickpea dahl syn-free then? i love that stuff

Yeah ASDA chickpea dhal is FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You could make 'chunky soups' most soups dont have to be blitzed smooth.

I'm desperate for lunch ideas!!

I always do Red days on a Monday and Tuesday prior to weigh in, and usually do Mix to Match on a Wednesday/Thursday with Red lunches. Until now I've been having chicken/bacon/similar salads, but I'm getting really fed up with them every day.

I have no facilities whatsoever - no microwave etc. At a push, I have access to hot water but all I can think of using hot water is mugshots/other green day loveliness!

I really can't think of anything - I'm really reluctant to use Hexs for lunch because I use them for breakfast and something in the evening. Does anyone have any genius suggestions, or am I about stuck with salads?

Thanks in advance!

i was thinking the same thing ..... i have never done a red day so im looking suggestions

I do Red most days and do struggle with lunch ideas, I generally have chicken or bacon, or ham, or tinned mackerel and salad.

How about some home-made veg soup but into a flask, I would imagine that would stay warm til lunch?
