Lunch Ideas

[Irene]

Pasta salad with tuna, E/L Mayo, corn and chopped onion, or cous cous salad with what vegetables you like? Or you could make up a quick vegetable soup?
Hope these ideas help.

I would search in the Main SW forum and the Recipes forum.

Lots for microwave and kettle

'left overs' make extra of evening meals to ensure there is left overs for lunchs ( freeze them too if you dont want the same thing 2 days running)
Chillis
Pasta
Jacket potatoes
eggs - scrambles, omlete, poached

Add water things eg Mug shots, cup a pasta, cous cous

Citrus kick is 1 syn

Bless you Vickie
I like them as they are which is easy for work. Saying that if I have the Tesco Mediteranean one ( again 0.5 syns) I add (once cooked) cucumber, cherry toms, spring onion, fresh lemon juice (and I may syn some black olives 28g = 2 syns)
Delicious!!

Im struggling with lunch

Guys,
It's my 2nd week on the plan so still very new to this, I'm struggling with lunch ideas! I work long hours and finding im eating the same old things and it's becoming very repeative! Before I would have grabbed a sandwich for lunch on the go but there doesn't seem to be anything quick to grab on the go!
Has anyone else encountered this and if so how have u overcome it??
