What do you take to work for lunch, I start work monday and don't want to come of plan, but i don't eat salad, so i am a bit stuck as to what to take, any ideas?
I used to like to make a bit extra dinner at night and take it in the next day. Like extra chillie, spag bol etc. I prefer lunches like that as i don't really care much for sandwiches and i hate salad. Also jacket potatoes , pasta in sauce that sort of thing.
Most days I bring in a salad with a selection of 'bits' (peppers, gerkins, artichokes) and then buy some cooked prawns or chicken on the way to work and add them to the salad to make it a bit more exciting. It's not the cheapest way to go though. One problem though is that having salad in the winter just screams "I'm on a diet" and my nosy colleagues all then have their little bit to say (you should/shouldn't weigh yourself, you should/shouldn't follow a plan etc) which can get VERY annoying as I'm trying not to draw attention to myself.
Today I have left over chilli - yum!
If you don't have a microwave at work you can buy thermos flasks for food, which have a wide neck and come with a spoon. So I heated up my chilli this morning and it'll still be hot at lunchtime.
