  • I tend to eat in the evenings so I just take 2 scoops protein powder in my shaker. At work we keep cuppa soup, 10 cal soup and crackers ..so theres always something if you fancy a bite

    Soup is always a good bet this time of year!

    No longer working but regularly used to make lunch boxes with salads made up with tinned beans of various varieties (borlotti, haricot, red kidney, butter beans) mixed with chopped celery, carrots, red peppers, tomatoes, chopped hard boiled eggs, ham, etc. with a little mayonnaise dressing. Some nice crispy garlic croutons sprinkled over the top just before eating are nice too.
    You can make cold pasta salads in the same way but I found the beans made a nicer texture.
  • I always find my salads go limp and manky, even when I leave the dressing off :(

    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

    Soup! We have a microwave so I bring it in a lock&lock container. They've never leaked yet! This week's soup is pumpkin, carrot, lentil and onion, very gently spiced with caraway and coriander and nutmeg. I make a whole week's worth of soup or bean salad most weekends, portion it out into the containers and take one out of the fridge every morning.

    If we didn't have a microwave at work, I'd stick to salads 'cos I'm too crap in the morning even to heat up soup.

    well, i thought it was chunky vegetable soup, but when i defrosted it it turned out to be pasta with veggie mince bolognese.

    still yummy!

    (we have a microwave and toaster at work too - really lucky)
