Newbie needing help! please x

[nikdag]

Hi, I'm Nikki and I am new to the forum. I have been on slimming world before and was doing quite well. To cut a long story short, I got sidetracked by another diet someone else was doing and totally fell off the wagon and got lost!

I now want to start following the slimming world plan again and need help and inspiration. I now work in an office where there is no microwave and toaster and I am struggling for idea's for food to take to work for lunch.

Any Idea's greatly appreciated. Salads just don't fill me and then I end up eating rubbish. Please help xx

hello, i sit in a car all day so get stuck as well when i take a salad with me i put everything in it if on a red day i do the usual lettuce, toms cue onions then i add diced bacon, chicken sometimes i dice my hex a cheese into it and add grapes and sometimes i have crispbreads with it.
you could take pasta salads rice salads you could get your self a wide neck flask and take hot meals in there or leftovers from the night before thats what i do

Thanks ladies. I was going to take rice salads but was worried that I needed to heat it up because of the bacteria in rice? Can I eat a rice salad if it's straight out of the fridge after I've cooked it. Sorry to ask such as stupid question.

Mug shots- I love them, in fact I am having one now before going to a friends. I don't know what I'd do without them. didn't think of putting soup in a flask as I was the home made soup queen last time. Thanks so much. It's so good to bounce idea's off people in here as I didn't even think about a flask for soups. Cheers ladies x

I make cous cous salads, using any veg, left over meat or whatever is on hand.
I also do pasta salads with the whatever I have in it.
Potato salad, with chopped fruit and veg is another option.
I also take chopped melon or pineapple and some other fruit.
3 light baby bels or laughing cows, and a hi fi bar or alpen lights make for my 2 HEXs (I am on EE)
and I also pack 2 muller lights.
That, more than fills me for the day for lunchand nibbles.

Yes, Nikki you can eat rice from the fridge.
I also make salads from it. I forgot to mention it!

Thanks for all your support folks. Hi to everyone that's welcomed me.

Mug shots are packet snacks that you make up similar to a cuppa soup. You can get them in Noodles which are one syn (I think) or pasta that are 2 syns ? They now do a cous cous one too which is great - does anyone know the syn value for the cous cous one? They're delicious x

Thankyou, they sound good think i will give them a try. Good luck with SW this is my first week also this site is just fab for advice and support, i have learn't so much already !!! The SW quiche on recipe forum is delish hot or cold so would be a good lunch option free on red and green leaving you free to decide which plan to go with for tea x
