Thread: PP filling lunch ideas/suggestions???

Hello,

I'm looking for help re lunch ideas...... I'm very much into making my 0PP soups which I love but I've found myself stuck in a rut so I want to try other things :-)

I have a tendency to eat 0PP foods throughout the day and save my points for a big tea however again because I'm in a rut i simply wasn't using anywhere near the points allocated so i want to make a big effort to spread my points throughout my three meals and stick to the plan properly whilst I've got weight to re-lose :-)

The peeps in my office always seem to be eating noodles, rice, cous cous with tuna etc however I'm anxious that these are quite high in PP's???

Any suggestions/ideas/recommendations would be HUGELY appreciated!

Thanks, Sam Xxxx

When I'm in the office I will take either a tuna and egg salad, hummus (1pp), toasted pitta (3pp) and carrot and celery sticks. I also make my own 0pp soup x

How many PP's for the egg or tuna salad??? Like the idea of a toasted pitta stuffed with salad etc, thanks! :-) Xxx

I eat pasta salads often (7pp for a satisfying portion). Pasta really helps bulk up the meal.

Pasta 7pp
courgette with garlic fried in 1 tsp of oil (1pp)
cocktail tomatoes
30g of smoked salmon 1 pp
fresh chopped coriander

makes a divine pasta salad.

Have recently started eating wholegrain pasta which also helps keep me fuller for longer.

Yesterday I had a very filling lunch of warburton squarish wrap (4), ham (2), salad (0), light mustard mayo (1) & fruit salad (0)....7pp in total and darned good!!

I also often have tuna & bean salad - about 5/6pp with dressing, I try and save half my daily pp for dinner

56g tinned tuna in springwater drained is 1pp and 130g tin is 3pp. Just got this off ESource so should be right. Have that with a pitta bread, loadsa salad and some light mayo for a treat. yum!

Shredded cajun chicken with no bread has 0pp for a 15g protion, fill a wholegrain pitta 4pp and fill with salad, delish and really fills you up x
