Lunch

[mcv]

K guys need some inspiration for lunch ideas, here's my criteria please help
I'm allowing myself 300 to 500 cals for lunch.
No bread
Easy to eat.
I'm a driving instructor, and tend to eat on the run, in a confined area and can't stink my car out!,
Would much appreciate some ideas

Maybe take a flask and one of those pasta pot thingys? Or a chopped salad with tuna or egg, something along those lines? I'm rubbish at this sort of thing lol x

Couscous salad? You can buy flavoured stock cubes now to give it a kick (I use curry). Or put some minced ginger chilli garlic lemongrass etc in with the hot water. I make it the night before so it can cool then just stir some crunchy veg chicken or prawns and a handful of fresh herbs (I often use coriander) You can have quite a big salad for under 400 cals

Thanks legomom, thinking pasta salad with tuna, cherry toms, cucumber and red onion

Soups are favourite of mine in the winter and salads in the summer

Last weekend I made a broccoli and stilton soup which worked out as 130 cals per serving. You could take this in a flask and have a couple of ryvitas on the side

Another good one from SW is a quiche - I worked out the calories on MFP and it came to 135 cals per quarter of a big quiche - you could easily take this in the car with a side salad

I was going to say soup too, my favourite is the red pepper & tomato I make at around 60 calories per serving, I have it with crispbreads or ryvita & low fat cheese spread
