I really enjoyed my lunch today.



312 Calories (Decrease Avocado/Pesto for reduced fat option)

Avocado 133g

Butterhead Salad Leaves 34g

Spinach 25g

Cucumber 64g

Pesto 24g



Really quick and easy to prepare (next to no chopping)

    That sounds yummy, and I like the minimal pre time. :)

    It was very yummy, and all fat in it is healthy fat e.g. avocado and raw olive oil in pesto.

    I like minimal prep time as I am a teacher.

    I'm a ER Nurse so I can relate to the need to eat things that are quick with minimal prep time. :)

    Yes my mum is a nurse and my sister is a midwife.... NHS careers tend to sap time and energy... dieting very tough under these circumstances but not impossible... have to make a few clear and simple rules for myself in term time and stick to them e.g. no cake at work :smile:

    I find personally that rules are much easier to follow that diets when I have no energy and then in the summer I use MFP.

    This is awesome simply because I feel that this is very little prep

    It's the lack of chopping ynaturally that saves time, and it is really yummy and involves no bread! Any ideas for yummy salads anyone?

    If people don't mind spending the cash for ease of being healthy, the pre-prepared salad/fruit section in Sainsbury's is awesome. If you have a busy time consuming job (this includes being a parent) then I would suggest visiting this section.
