Hi all, I am in desperate need of lunch ideas. Please nothing more with tuna involved or any fish.. I swear I will be sprouting gills very soon!! I need something different that is quick and not requiring too much to make it.

Thanks!!

Anything with chicken. How about cottage cheese. I have found if I put some crystal light in with it, it tastes really good. Veggies, raw or cookied. Every now and again I will have a smart ones, but try not to too much because of the high sodium.

String cheese, eggs are a couple more good ones.

I was going to suggest tuna with light mayo and chopped up apples in it. Very yummy on a piece of wheat toast.

vanilla Greek yogurt with sliced strawberries, peach or banana in it.

Tortilla or pita "pizza". Top it with tomato sauce, sliced onion or other veggies plus cooked ground turkey. You can put light mozzarella on top but I usually skip the cheese. Throw in oven on 375 for 10 mins and you're good to go. I make a few a week and save for quick lunches or dinner.

Scrambled egg beaters with black Beans and salsa on top. You can put it in a small wheat tortilla.

Crunchy Peanut Butter on a wheat flax pita. You can put sliced banana on top if you want.

I recommend Joseph's. Healthiest pitas/tortilla brand I can find. As you can tell its a staple for me. LOL

No bread allowed at all for me. In any form, unless gluten free. I have Celiacs disease too. But the lunch ideas are pretty good. my bread usually costs about 7.99 for a tiny loaf. so I tend to stay away from that option for the sake of my pockets too!

for me, shredded chicken breast (mixed with mayo/diced winnie onion and egg bits) .........superb and Protein (and i usually eat green beans) .....that is my lunch every day.

i am very strict and enjoy eating the same things daily---i think i am weird

You are not weird Carolina, I am like that I will go through spurts where I will eat the same thing every day for a couple of months before I change it out.

CG your eating habits are not weird.....the jury is still out on you.... Just kidding, luv ya!

I also tend to eat the same lunches. Only chance them up every once in a while.

I read that thread... Something in pink I believe.

I recently had the Costco rotisserie chicken salad and it was delicious! I have a recipe I am going to try and make on my own to replicate it as it is $5 a pound and only comes in a huge tub!

I do my own turkey burgers, ground turkey, egg beaters, spinach, chopped onions and chopped mushrooms (salt, pepper,basil and oregano). I mix it really well in a bowl and then to the frying pan with pam (oil substitute). You'll thank me later haha

Definitely adding to my recipe file.

Thanks Cooper!

One of my favorite lunches is ground chicken, quinoa, red, yellow and orange peppers and mushrooms. Cook the quinoa like you normally would (I use a rice cooker) pan cool the chicken then when slightly cooked add in all the veggies. Ad in quinoa, 1/2cup of water and mix in either bought taco mix, or cayenne pepper, chili powder,garlic powder and seasoned salt!
