Simple lunch ideas

HeidiMightyRawr

I'm looking for some ideas of what to have for lunch, preferably something quite high protein but I don't have any fresh meat in like chicken. I'd usually have a sandwich but it's gets so boring having the same thing over and over.
Things I could make with tuna would be good apart from the usual tuna mayo. Main things I have at the moment to use, bread, pasta, eggs, tuna, cheese, pasta sauce, salad stuff (lettuce, peppers, tomatoes), several herbs and spices. I don't mind having to cook as long as reasonably quick to make.
Any ideas would be helpful
Thanks

mix the tuna and the pasta sauce have with a small amount of pasta and some salad

if you cook extra pasta you can portion it out in to the fridge to add to other salads

I love to have cottage cheese with cucumbers and tomatoes and dill mixed together. It is delicious! At least I think so. Then I add in some whole wheat crackers and a piece of fruit.

Thanks for all the ideas, they sound so nice esp the cucumber, tomato and cottage cheese one, definately getting some of that in next time I do the shop! Going to go for the pasta, sauce and tuna w/ salad for now since I have all those ingredients already

I don't know if you have all of the ingredients right now, but pita pizzas are an awesome and easy lunch option. How I usually make mine:

Greek pita
Pizza sauce
Red onion
Hot peppers
Mozzarella

You could add precooked ground turkey/ chicken or a bit of lean ground beef for protein, use a whole grain pita or English muffin, or use salsa or healthy pasta sauce in place of the pizza sauce. Topping options are endless.

Homemade egg "mcmuffins" are another good option. English muffin, egg, cheese, and you can add a strip of precooked turkey bacon.
