Lunch Ideas

[acg200587]

Hi,

I just wondered what type of thing you eat for lunch on the propoints plan, I have lost 1st 3lb so far on weight watchers but seriously struggling through the day not to eat junk. I've been having a pack of Quavers and a cup a soup most days but it doesn't fill me up and it's more of a convenience food for quickness than anything else. I tend to use 5 points for brekkie (inc milk for the day) and I usually have about 13 or 14 points at dinner time so I don't have loads to play with through the day if I still want a cheeky WW bar of something sweet at night! My allowance is 28 points a day at the moment.

Any help would be appreciated! I have a 5 month old baby so it's kind of hard to cook much through the day x

Hiya, I work in an office with no cooking facilities and no fridge so it's hard for me too, all we have is a kettle.

If I get the chance to go home, I have

- a tortilla - 3pp wrapped up with lettuce cucumber peppers red onion - 0pp 3 slice of thin ham 1pp or cooked chicken 60g is 2pp, and some sweet chilli sauce or low fat mayo - 1pp. So 5 for it all if you do it with ham. And you could have pickles & beetroot on the side for 0pp.

Or I have the tins of baxters soup they are lovely and filling, only have half a tin and its 2 points! Lentil is especially good...

And I have just discovered that see in the corner shops and maybe even bigger shops, cadburys do pic and mix 5 mini choc items for a £1. They have mini buttons, flakes, crunchies, dairy milk caramels yum yum and they are only 2pp! Because I need a wee bit of choc after my lunch

Thanks for the idea Sam I didn't realise tortillas were as low. I will definitely be buying some of those for lunches! I always need something sweet after my lunch/tea as well. My fav just now are mini milks - only 1 point for 1 or 2 points for 3!
