meal ideas

[Elle86]

Can anyone give me ideas on snacks or sandwiches for work? I work 12 hour shifts and normally take porridge or cereal for breakfast and a cup-a-soup for dinner, leaving me starving by the time I get home =/
Any ideas on sandwiches etc will be appreciated,thanks

Hiya,

I'm a shift worker too, know how hard it can to be good in work and keep nice and full:sigh:.
Here's what I bring for snacks:

Chopped mixed fruit salad ( prepare at home yourself, much fresher and tastier than shop bought)
Low points yogurts
Banana (always good for filling a gap)
Snack a jacks
WW bars ( great with a cup of coffee)
Zero point home made soup

Also, try bulking up your dinner. I find stir frys great. Use loads of free point veg, and if you want some low point protein add a couple of the quorn fillets - 2pp (the white ones). Add 60g rice and a dash of soy sauce and you have a really filling, yet low point dinner, and it'll keep you going for ages.

For sandwiches, a couple of slices of ww thick brown bread, filled with low mayo, salads, tiny bit of grated cheese. Have this with some zero point soup, really fills you.
