Also if anyone interested yesterday for lunch i made a potatoe and pea soup which was yummy the recipe is as follows
425g of potatoes
1 cup of peas frozen
1 1/2 pints of boiling water
2 vegetable knorr cubes
a shake of dried onion (didn't have any onion, but would usually use fresh)
a shake of oregano
salt and pepper

Chop up the potatoes into cubes and finely chop onion if using fresh
Place all the ingredients in a pot or soup maker, bring to the boil and simmer for 30 mins.
when cooked blend or leave chunky, usually like chunky but this was fab blended.
enjoy

For whoever was asking for the scotch eggs recipe, the one I use is:

Defrost Linda McCartney red onion and rosemary sausages (be very careful of defrosting in the microwave as if they start to cook, it won't work)

Wrap 1.5 sausage around each cold, hard boiled egg

Spray with fry light and bake for 25 mins at 160

It's lush, I prefer them to 'real' scotch eggs. They're quite big, so really filling xx

Hi I also work shifts so generally take 2 meals with me. I have the.slimming world quiche with salad. Or any salad. Jacket potatoes with filling or recently scrambled egg with chopped onions ham and herbs. I do my chopping at home.x hope that helps

I second SW quiche! My other go-to lunch is couscous salad. You can make a big batch of couscous that will keep a couple of days in the fridge, then add beans, chopped tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions, anything you like.

Have a look at the Lunch Ideas sticky in the recipe section, you'll find lots of inspiration

I take homemade soup in a food flask, it keeps it warm for me and I can eat it straight from the flask so it's ready whenever I get a chance to eat it x

What about mugshots ?

 

[NotsofattyPatty]

Would it help if you switched your meals around? Eg have a cooked breakfast and take porridge/cereal in to work for lunch?

I regularly take porridge - I use a lock 'n lock type box (actually a 600ml Store & Serve one from Lakeland) and put my oats and liquid in the night before, place in fridge ready for the morning. 2 mins in the microwave at work and it's done. (I take fruit, usually frozen, in a separate container also prepared the night before)

One thing i have started doing is rather than buying sandwiches to take into work which use use Healthy Extras and are veyr high in syns, is take in some of the mini sushi packs, you can get them from the grab & go section in stores like Tesco, M&S, etc. They fill me up better than sandwiches, many of them come out at about 1-2 syns for the entire box and they're actually cheaper than any other lunch options, at about £1 a pack.
