Lunch ideas
Usually leftovers from dinner, whatever protein we cooked the night before. Curious if anyone actually manages a real sandwich on this stuff or if bread is a no go for most of you
honestly leftover roast chicken chopped up with cucumber and a spoon of tzatziki has been my default lately, cold and quick and I don't get that heavy feeling after
Leftover rice bowls here too, though mine come out bland unless I add hot sauce.
I do a turkey wrap with a lot of crunch in it, shredded cabbage mostly, since soft lunches started sitting weird with me around month two
honestly i do a big chopped salad with chickpeas and feta, but I have to keep the portion small or it sits there all afternoon.
What do you do for the days when nothing sounds good at all? I keep emergency crackers around for those
What do you put in the soup? Mine always ends up tasting like plain broth, i can never get the seasoning right
honestly cold stuff works better for me too. Sliced cucumber with tuna mixed in greek yogurt instead of mayo, sounds odd but it goes down easy
I do a big pot of lentil soup too but the smell of reheating it at work got weird for me around week six, so now i eat it cold straight from the container. Tastes fine actually
Cold lunches sit better for me too, but I keep forgetting cottage cheese is an option. How much of the tomatoes do you actually get through before you're full?
leftover roast chicken chopped into a wrap with cucumber and a lot of hot sauce is what I keep landing on, mostly because the heat covers up the flat taste everything has right now.
Rotisserie chicken shows up a lot in here, and honestly same. I shred it into a low carb wrap with hot sauce when I want something that feels like real food instead of a salad.
Cottage cheese with everything seasoning sounds weirdly perfect, do you use the bagged seasoning or mix your own?
tbh cold chopped chicken with hot sauce over a little rice has been my default. Weirdly the rice is the part i eat least of now
Cold rotisserie chicken shredded into a bagged slaw kit has been my lunch all week, mostly because I can't be bothered to cook. Curious whether you're actually hungry at midday or just eating because it's noon.
I've been doing a big batch of chicken salad on Sunday and portioning it out for the week, mostly because I can't be bothered to assemble anything at noon. It's the one thing that's kept me from just grabbing whatever is in the fridge.
Cold chicken thighs straight from the fridge with hot sauce is my lazy version, no wrap assembly at all. Do you find the sriracha mayo keeps ok in a work fridge or do you pack it separate?
Do you shred the thighs or leave them whole for the wraps? Mine always fall apart and turn into a mess by lunch
