Lunch ideas



ORIGINAL POST
Posted by Kaat 20 yrs ago
Hi, I'm trying to save a bit of dosh as well as eating healthily at the same time by bringing my own lunch to work. But I'm so clueless about what to make - the only thing that comes to mind is a cold cut sandwich, which I don't want to have everyday!!


Would anybody have simple ideas/recipes for lunch? Thanks! =)

I prepare lunch for my husband who forgets to leave his desk to eat. He is training for action-asia type of activities so he prefers low-fat, high protein, moderate carbs. His staples include:


Mix and match the following--


- pasta noodles (drizzled with a bit of olive oil, some pepper and teeny tiny bit of salt)

- grilled chicken breast

- tuna (from a tin)

- steamed veggies-- corn, green peas, carrots

- boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes

- hard-boiled eggs (he doesn't eat the yolks..)

- stir-fried tofu with veggies

- salads: nicoise, chicken potato (no mayo)

- steamed chicken + some bottled hainanese sauce

- make your own fajitas-- tortilla, grilled chicken/beef, peppers, mushrooms, some cheese

- some fruits, mostly bananas. sometimes I put in a box or 2 of raisins and a pouch of roast almonds


I know they seem bland and tasteless to some, but my husband gained weight from too much cold cuts + cheese sandwiches in the past months. And now, he's not the only one benefitting from healthier choices..
