I need menu ideas

I need ideas for lunch menus to take to work with me. What do you all eat for a light meal. I'm fine for breakfast and dinner in the evening, but the lunches are difficult. I end up not eating properly and then snacking. Then my calories are way low and empty of nutrician. Thanks

what about a veggie burger on a low carb pita with all the fixin's? I like tuna in a salad with some dressing on it. I like deli meats wrapped around a cheese stick and microwaved until gooey! I can't think of anything else but i will once i didn't need it. ANDI

Thanks Andi. The cheese and deli meat melted sounds yummy. I'd forgotten about salads - duh!!

I also go back to the ricotta cheese, mozzarella and tomato sauce in the microwave it is so good and you can spice it gently or really give it zing depending on what you add! I also like chili for lunch, or what about a low carb pita toasted into wedges with refried beans, salsa and cheese? I enjoy a hot lunch, cold lunch well frankly it leaves me cold! ANDI

Yum yum and even more yum! Do you heat up the ricotta cheese, mozzarella & tomato sauce all together and eat like soup or pour over something? I can imagine myself just eating it right out of the bowl!! Chip (pita toast) & dips is great too! Thanks

I will take beef and chicken lunch meat with a slice of cheese rolled up and no bread. Its quick and easy. I also take cans of chicken or tuna and mix a small amount of light mayo and pickle relish. Put it in some tupperware. You can add a tomato and slice of lettuce and build a beautiful little tuna salad by putting the leaf down, almost quartering the tomato and putting the spread on top. With a little salt and pepper it is to die for. If you have a microwave at work you can get the south beach dinners. they are usually about 300 calories and easy to make. they go on sale all the time so I will grab them up when I see them. You figure 3.00 dollars a day for a full meal is not bad when you consider what we would have bought in the past. Carla

Thanks Carla I haven't seen the south beach ready meals in teh grocery store over here - shame. All I find is the store ones full of carbs & processed cr@p even if they are low in calories - I'm nto too keen to eat stuff like that. But I will be on the look out for South Beach as they are low in carbs arn't they? I enjoy tuna salad so will definitely add that to my menus.

I like the tuna salads, too. Easy and you can mix it at your desk!! I also do cheese and nuts. I know it's high in fat, but once and awhile it's not too bad. I like the crunch of the nuts, cashews especially. Diane

Oo, yes, nuts and cheese...I used to add some raisins in there too - I'd forgotten those, yummy. Thanks everyone - I should be well away now. here's to healthy eating!!

I boil up 1/2 doz eggs on sunday night for lunches then each day I pick up one. my other lunch standby is a cheese stick I also buy a box of 20g Clif protein bars from Costco for lunches every thing else is just left overs from the night before. so monday is a slice of pizza, wednesdays is a taco, fridays is spagetti
