    Eggs work well for me, as well as salad, cheese and mayo rolls (I have been eating commercial mayo through my pregnancy - I know some people avoid it).

    A favourite is a toasted sandwich with cheese, sundried tomatoes (only need a couple - they are quite rich) and a few walnut pieces.

    Also, adding things like chutney to a plainish sandwich can make it much more exciting.

    In winter I like home-made soup with a crusty buttered bread roll.

    Sometimes I make salad with feta but not so much since I've been pregnant.

    Leftovers are good too - tomorrow we'll have rissole sandwiches with leftover rissoles from tonight.

    Mmmm now I'm hungry!

    some great suggestions here.

    I always get some 90second brown rice for when DH is home and mix it with capsicum/corn/peas (or whatever veges I've got), some salmon or tuna and a bit of balsamic dressing - yum.

    i have the same problem, i am so fussy that i struggle to find things to eat.
    you can buy packets of seaweed, cook some rice and eat with tuna and mayo, pretty yummy, even chuck cooked or raw mushrooms in it, avocado, very healthy and filling lunch, especially yummy if you drink it with green tea!!
    Or roasted eggplant with natural yoghurt in a roll is actually really delicious.

    DS and I have just had sausage roll, bacon sarnie (with tomato ketchup, crisps with red pepper hummus dip, and we're now considering a yoghurt.

    I like cooking up pasta and eating it with herbs and cheese and butter too. If I have some salad I'll add that too.

    Rice with peas, sweetcorn, mushrooms, any frozen veg from the freezer... and some thyme is nice. You can add small pieces of meat and fish to this too if you like.

    I make up something on Monday morning and have it every day for lunch that week. Eg minestrone or other easy soup, zucchini slice, ratatouille, or hommous. Just make sure that it is easy to cook, nutritious and easy to reheat.
