Red Day Lunch Ideas

[Jen_brannigan]

Hi I have done the Slimming World diet before, I am planning to start again on Mon 7th September and I am looking for Luch ideas.

This is one of the areas where I really struggled when on the diet last time, I will be doing mainly Red days.

My lunch is only for half hour so it can not be something too adventurous and there is not a fridge

Would appreciate your help

I am going to be following the diet before 7th Sept but that will be the first class I am going to attend
Thanks for your help x

Hi Jenna have you had a look at the food diary section??
I have 5 red days a week and even though we have a fridge, the only thing I do use is a microwave.
Have you use of a microwave there?
If not, how about some stews/casseroles that you could make and put in a flask??
I make a lot of salads with salmon, chicken and bacon etc, but thats because I love salad!
If you do have access to microwave, then you could re-heat left overs from the night before. I do this with things like a cooked dinner and just pour over some gravey granules the next day.
Another thing would be to make a quiche the night before (have a look in this section for recipe - very easy) and have that to munch on...chicken drumsticks are another one.
I hope this helps??

Hiya!

What about home-made chicken kebabs? You can make them the night before and put in an airtight container and eat cold.

Pick by all means. Have carrot sticks to hand, celery, peppers, and cherry tomatos, plus have a basket of fruit on the desk. Make a jar of humus lots to pick at
