Thread: Meal Ideas. Please help

Hi everyone

Can we please help eachother, by adding breakfast and lunch ideas. I really struggle to think of things for breakfast other than cereal, and I would love some new ideas for lunches that can be eaten at work.

Thanks in advance

Decemberbride Im the same. I keep getting stuck on what to have!

For lunch today Im having:
wafer thin ham 1pt
2 slices brown bread 3pts
LF mayo 2pts
Salad (carrot, peppers, lettuce, onion) 0pt
LF Yoghurt 1pt
150g strawberries chopped into the yoghurt 0.5

I did have this yesterday too so Im looking for something new for tomorrow!

That's what I tend to do Louise, stick to the same thing all the time.

I think I just need to plan my meals properly. I suppose with the raise in the cost of everything, we wont be able to afford to eat soon, and we'll all be slim!

Couscous is a good thing to make, and is really filling.

How many points is in cous cous?

How about crumpets for breakfast only 1.5 each.
lunch time i have hovis wholemeal bread 1.5 each slice with have and piclke and ww yog!

Im no healthy umm type menu person but here what i normally have lol
cereal 2.5
two bread 3.0
wafer think ham 1
mayo 0.5
mushrooms 0
all done in the george ! a toastie mmmm

jacket 2.5
prawns 2.5
mayo .5
salad 0

ww crisps 1
ww bar 1.5
apple .5

this is probably what sort of menu i eat the most altho ive found that tesco healthy living fresh tom and basil soup is 3 for the whole pot! which is huge so that and ww bread would make a cheap meal!

sounds nice kirsty maybe i will go and get some!

I nearly ALWAYS have mushrooms on toast with cherry tomatoes for brekkie, its the only thing that fills me up until lunchtime, otherwise im picking by 10am.

Lunch i dont really plan, sometimes if im busy i will just have a bag of crisps and some fruit and if im busy i dont notice its not much, if im sitting down to eat i try and have sandwhich or some pasta with WW tuna mayo because dinner is where i spend loads of points. Tonight im hvainf pasta carbonara with mushrooms, new potatoes and salad. ( its yummy )

How many points is a muller light Yog? Can't find my points calc .

Can't believe WW tuna in mayo in a tin is only 1 point and it is really yummy

I always have the same lunches but they are yummy... try to go carb free at lunch too as I end up sleepy in the afternoon.
These are my favourites:
* Houmous (3) with carrot, pepper, celery sticks - maybe an oat cake (1) if I need some carbs - only 3/4 points if you get low fat one and have a third of the tub
* Greek salad - feta cheese (3), few olives (2), salad (0), seeds (.5) and beetroot(0) - and its huge so keeps you full til dinner!
* Wraps - houmous and sliced pepper with salad (not sure what points a wrap is as I only started yesterday and haven't had it yet!) :-)

Do you use low cal spray to make your mushrooms? Is it worth getting some? Which spray is the best and where do I buy it? Thanks x

Muller light - 2 points apparently... xx

Tesco healthy living wraps are 3 points and they are really filling and delicious with chicken and salad and LF mayo.

Thank you Loveit, in that case I will have one. x

I just had a dilemma.... went to gym before work and did 20 min run then hour of weights - so I gained 4 points for the day... then I get into work and there's Krispy Kremes in the kitchen!!
So I googled 'Krispy Kreme Weight Watchers' and they're 4 points each!!!
So do I have the doughnut and waste my efforts of having to get up at 5am to go to the gym or do I be good...... hmmmm..... be good and save the points for a G&T tonight! Ha! x
