I make a veg risotto but use ebly instead - usually around 6/7 pp.
Dry fry mushrooms,onions and peppers then pour on a tin of ravioli 9pp.
Another one here for a huge salad with chopped chicken, prawns or an egg - usually have a squirt of very low fat mayo ( I put my bowl on my ww scales to get the measure right)
Some thins or crispbreads with laughing cow low fat cheese and side salad.
Peppers cut in half filled with toms and feta chunks with 5 ml olive oil - roast in oven.
I dont have sandwiches much as I love my bread and crisps tooooo much

If your working salad caesar salad is nice? Or a sandwich with egg Mayo and roasted red onions and peppers or with houmus or tuna and Mayo?

I'm doing Discover so not sure what the PP are but I love the John West Light Lunches - french style Tuna in particular, followed by a protion of Strawberries and Yoghurt is just sufficient to keep me going til tea time and the Discover points are 3 for the pack.

I can haz cake?
was gonna say its 12/13pp for the full fat ones, that would be a big difference lol!
6pp is a good bargain because they do fill the old belleh!
I've got the full fat ones in for work, but only cause we had them sitting in the cupboard needing eaten.
I liked doing some rice, throwing in some mushrooms ham etc, then some soy sauce. Smaller portion would be a nice filling lunch

Well I always have cous cous and getting a bit bored but to be honest it's so filling!
A packet of Ainsley Harriot cous cous averages at 4 points but what I do is roast some peppers, courgettes, onions, tomatoes and whatever other veg I fancy and pack it out with that.
Yesterday though I decided to pack it out with celery and tomatoes cold and it was brilliant! The crunching of the celery made me feel like I was eating more and it filled me up.
I think I will work on variations and report back!

I tend to stick to salad with tuna and the spray balsamic dressing also use low fat cottage cheese sometimes and egg lots of cherry tomatoes and zero point soup if I am really hungry. I tend to stay away from bread, rice, pasta. I am insulin resistant and these foods bother me for some reason. If I eat bread I will be hungry constantly all day, same with rice and pasta. So I don't eat them I limit myself to one wrap per day with a high protein filling and I can get away from that.
I do sometimes cook a meal and make it for four and then box it up for lunches for both of us as well.

how about pasta mixed with tuna or chicken? Tuna light lunches r nice as well!
At ww meeting last week we spoke about lunches. A good idea for a wrap ( I use warburtons square cut in half) put tuna mixed with a bit of vinegar in the middle of the wrap, lettuce and a bit of chilli sauce and wrap it up! It's gorgeous. You can dry fry the wrap and add some low fat cheese so it's warm.
