Lunch Ideas



Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
