I am stuck for lunch ideas...anyone have anything simple?
I don't like sandwiches and we don't have much in the house as we do the shopping tomorrow and I am a fit fussy :\

    Yesterday I had chickpeas and two chopped boiled eggs with hot sauce, because that's all we had.
    Lunch is what you make of it. Why not just make extra dinner and have that?

    unless we know what you have in stock, can't recommend...and you're fussy? Sorry, can't help you, unless you want to buy something...I usually do a HUGE salad when I can't figure out what I want...i end up having a lil bit of EVERYTHING thrown in there...

    An omelette is a quick fix, you can also put pretty much whatever you want in it! I like to put some white onion and chorizo sausage in my omelette to bulk them up a bit.

    We have leftovers a lot, some times I make my husband "BLT" roll ups with bacon, lettuce, and turkey, with homemade mayo, I had a small avacado, onion, and shrimp salad with a homemade lime dressing one day thus week. I have in the past had random things from the fridge due to lack or creativity. A boiled egg, leftover chicken, tomatoes, fruit. I keep Applegate hotdogs around for meals I have never energy to make. 2 hotdogs, carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, and fruit is delish but so simple.

    I buy a lot of green giant steamers, their lot of different ones. Their only a $1.oo a box here. Then throw on a piece of salmon, or morning star black bean burger.

    skip lunch.
    you have no plan,maybe you will plan better for the future after being mildly hungry.

    My husband grills about 5+lbs of chicken thighs and legs for the week. I usually take one or two pieces to work with me for lunch with an apple.

    My lunch today will be:
    • One can Goya black beans
    • One bag Purdue Short Cuts chicken
    • One bag Uncle Ben's 90-second rice

    The longest part is rinsing the beans. Heat all until warm, add Sriracha as needed. Or wanted.

    All told, 1010 Calories, 15g fat, 95g protein, 152g carbs, and 27g fiber.

    I often make a pot of turkey chili (ground turkey, crushed tomatoes, onions, bell peppers) on Sundays and take it for lunch every weekday. I'm weird in that I don't need a lot of variety for lunch and I never get sick of it. If it's not chili it's homemade chicken soup with really ample portions of chicken.

    Oh and beans of course! Kidney and black. :)

    actually not a bad idea.

    I won't go out to eat if I don't have anything- either I pack my lunch or I forget/don't have food.

    Which means- I don't eat. I only go out to eat on purpose- when I know we are doing it.

    It's not unhealthy to skip a meal. I skip them all the time.

    I do canned soup most days (because I can keep it stocked in my cubby at work, and it's mostly low calorie and filling). Progesso and Campbells make some fantastic soups. TODAY, I'm eating leftovers from last nights dinner. :)
