I work in an office and as such have to take my lunch along with me every day.
As I am trying to loose almost a stone - I have completely changed my eating habbits over the past month and have cut out all the naughty things.
This is a change I intend to stick to for life - not just untill I loose the weight.
I have been taking Covent Carden Soup to work with me which is really healthy and filling but as the weather is getting hotter this really isn't practical for lunch.
Has anyone any suggestions for lunch at my desk.
Salads are the obvious choice - but they take so long to make.
by the way - I am trynig not to eat more than 1 slice of bread every 2 days and so sandwitches are sort of out .

try brown pastas which can be made the night before and are yummy cold, mix with drained tuna and a bit of light mayo.
try veg sticks like celery, carrot, cucumber, these are quick and easy and count towards ur 5 a day.
I know how hard it is when ur pushed for time and have to take ur own lunch, such a pain to think of what u want to eat a day in advance.
Good Luck with the weight loss plan hun.xx

i used to make up some cous cous and vegetables to take to work with me, it takes 2 mins to make and is really healthy and filling, and is great to eat any time of the year as you can have it hot and cold, depending on how you feel! good luck with the diet!

You can get low cal bread - but if you want salad, make a batch on Monday and it will last 'til Wednesday easily - thus saving time.

may not be a brilliant idea but how about pasta for a change? I know its full of carbs but everything in moderation...

a good summer sausage and I use a spicy barbecue sauce to dip it into. Good and it holds me over for quite awhile...
