What do you have for lunch????

With all of the things that we are told not to have,it doesn't give much of a selection or I just can't think of anything.

So when it comes to Lunch time what do you eat I have run out of ideas when I do think of something I have to stop my self and say NO I can't eat that.....

Please give me some ideas .....

Today I brought my lunch - a cottage cheese and salad sandwich. Not something I'd buy in a shop now. Tomorrow's lunch will be a lamb salad, also made at home. If I'm buying lunch, I buy something cooked, like chinese or something.

I also make sure I have lots of snacks. Today's snacks include fruit, yoghurt, nut bars and miso soup (don't know if I'll eat it all, but better than running out for a 3pm choccie :))

I was just thinking of starting a smililar thread!! There is a whats for dinner one but thought whats for lunch would be great too!!

I had left over lamb casserole & pasta for lunch today mmmm

Left over Pork roast , tomoto, cheese, beetroot and cucumber sandwich on white bread as wholegrain or seeded makes me want to throw up atm! :D

I eat whatever i feel like eating really. Can vary from a sandwich, toast, 2 min noodles, baked beans on toast, packet noodles which is what i had today.

I buy tinned tuna and salmon. Have it in a sandwhich with lettuce, cheese and whatever I like. Sardines on toast.
Steamed Dim Sims when I feel like 'something'.
French toast with tomato sauce.
Soup.
Jaffles with spaghetti or baked beans and cheese, sometimes left overs in them too.
Left over dinner from the night before, like a spag bol or stir fry.
Omelette, boiled eggs with soldiers, scrambles eggs.
I also buy frozen pies as a standby.
My favourite when I was pregnant and still is...bacon, egg and black pudding in a toast sandwhich.
The other day we had some left over roast chicken, so I made a chicken salad.

i'm a bad girl and extreemly un organised esp while i was at work.

my fave was pasta from a cafe I trusted heaps, but I had a tendancy towards chips & gravy or potato cakes.

What i do like to do is cook a couple of chicken fillets at home and have some salad & wraps.

It doesn't seem to matter how much good food i would take to work, I am still a sucker for the 3pm choccie, and the apple being displayed on my desk.

I did enjoy have some sort of dry bickies and or muselie bar to get me through to lunch though.

Im a Coeliac which means I can't eat flour/gluten/wheat so i'm very limited in what I can eat. So I usually have gluten free bread with cheese and salad, or today I had baked beans on toast or sometimes just plain boring toast! Left-overs are always good though!
My eating plan is pretty boring most of the time.

Well you have given me plenty of ideas thanks ladies ...
Oh and Heather72 mmmmm Sardines on toast sounds um my kida girl......have to get me some tomorrow.....

I'm loving tuna mayo toasties with tomato, or egg mayo sangers with tomato.

I also make myself some plain pasta, drizzle some balsamic vinegar on it and then grate some cheese over the top!

Delish!

I often have leftover of whatever we had the night before, just heated up to ridiculous. The girls at work laugh at me.

Massive amounts of vegie soup is a brilliant fall back - make a big pot (no potatoes though) and freeze it in single size servings, then have it with multigrain toast. Packs in so many nutrients, and truly is delicious.
Baked beans on toast is great too.
Corn Thins with Avocado (sometimes I add tofu for extra protein) or Hommus (I make my own)
Miso soup with udon noodles, silken tofu and wakame
Roast vegies with couscous or brown rice
Pasta cooked in vegie broth when I'm home and feeling crummy.

When I'm out and about... well, it's a bit hard. Vegan food that's not pre-prepared salad in Brisbane. :rolleyes: I take my own... Or head to a cafe where I know the people working there and get them to sort me something out.

Audax - those lunches sound really yummy. What is wakame? I saw packet wakame soup in the supermarket when I bought miso soup and wondered what it is. I've never cooked pasta in vegie broth just in water. I assume the taste is different. When you say broth, is it quite thick or more like stock?

Today's lunch for me is jacket potatoes. I put them in the slow cooker over night. This morning, I grated some cheese and chopped up some spring onion. Put them all in my lunch box (separate compartments) I already have sour cream here at work. Will just reheat the potatoes and slather with dairy products :) And make sure I have loads of vegies tonight.

(The Brewer diet I'm trying to follow recommends 3 baked potatoes a week - something about the nutrients in the skins? - plus loads of dairy and at least 100g of protein a day)

Wakame is a seaweed product. You buy it dried and it reconstitutes in hot water. It's the green stuff you get floating in your miso soup. When I make miso, though, it's from fresh miso paste, then I add the wakame after it's cooked.
Pasta in vegie broth is good. I usually just chop up celery and carrot and boil them up then add pasta, and eat it as is. If you wanted to use tortellini or another filled pasta, you could, it's delish.
Frozen spinach cubes are a great wayt o add extra vegies to everything - the Heinz cubes are tiny and so easy to use. You could put two on each of your jacket potatoes. Also works added to any pasta sauce or broth. And voila, there's one more vegie counted towards your 5 a day.
