Made a tuna salad wrap for lunch and realized it packs almost 30g of protein without even trying. Six pounds down so far and hits like this keep me going on days when my appetite is basically nonexistent. What are your go-to lazy lunches that sneak in a bunch of protein?
Your journey
Easy protein win from todays lunch
Do you use greek yogurt instead of mayo ever? I tried it once and the texture got weird on me
Cottage cheese with everything bagel seasoning is my lazy one, no cooking and it goes down fine on the days food feels like a chore
Cold shrimp with cocktail sauce is my no-cook dinner more nights than I'd admit. Do you thaw it yourself or grab the pre-cooked kind
cold rotisserie chicken chopped into a quesadilla with a low carb tortilla is mine, takes like four minutes. Do you shred your own tuna or grab the packets?
Cold black beans straight from the can is honestly underrated, i do the same with chickpeas and a squeeze of lemon when i cant be bothered to cook anything
Do you rinse the black beans first? I tried them straight from the can once and the salad got weirdly soupy
Those tuna packets are the one thing I always keep stocked, though I usually eat it straight from the packet with hot sauce rather than bothering with bread
tuna salad is a good call. I keep a couple of those pouch tuna packs in my desk drawer for days when making anything feels like too much.
Cold tuna straight from the can with a little hot sauce is mine, something about the cold makes it go down easier when nothing sounds good
Canned shrimp with cocktail sauce is genius, cold stuff goes down way easier for me too. Do you drain it well or just dump the whole can in?
Cold protein is the only thing I can face on the flat appetite days too. Cottage cheese straight from the tub with hot sauce has been my lazy fallback lately
Cold tuna with a little hot sauce has been my lazy go-to for months now, mostly because it needs zero cooking on the days I can barely be bothered. Does the wrap hold up if you make it the night before?
Cold rotisserie chicken is my move too, I pull the meat off and keep it in a container so there is zero prep when I don't feel like eating. How long does a whole bird usually last you?
Cold protein is the only thing I can face on flat appetite days too. Do you prep the tuna ahead or just mix it when you're actually hungry?
Canned shrimp is a good call, I keep a bag of frozen cooked ones and they thaw in like ten minutes. What kind of cocktail sauce do you use?
Do you drain the tuna first or just mash it straight in, because mine always ends up soupy when I try to make it ahead for the week. Still figuring out the cold lunch thing at 65 down.
Cottage cheese in the tuna wrap is genius, never thought to swap the mayo. Hows the texture though, does it get watery by lunchtime?
Cottage cheese instead of mayo in the tuna wrap is a move I stole too. How much are you actually getting down on the days your appetite disappears?
Tuna mixed with a little greek yogurt instead of mayo is my version of that, and it goes down easy when nothing sounds good. Curious whether you eat the wrap cold or toast it
