    I recently made something that i shall repeat which may suit you.

    I soaked some cous cous in water with cumin and chilli powder and then mixed it with a tin of rattatouille.

    It was great and far more filling than i would ever have imagined and tasty too. I ate it cold but it would be good hot too if you have access to a microwave.

    Cost about 70p and healthy too.

    Just a quick start, why not investin one of those small one person lunch type cool bags, then a cereal and chilled milk container from Morrisons.

    My diet breakfast is usually fruit chopped up with natural yoghurt and a weetabix plus sweetener.

    lunches - salads, crispbreads, cous cous, houmus, dips yoghurts, left over plain pasta with salad dressing

    others will be along with better options I am sure.

    Got a small cool bag - problem with milk is it tends to make the container smell (and can buy it work for 26p for a glass full)

    heard of cous cous and houmus no idea what they are (mediterranean is about all i know) and as for that rata whatsit stuff, I will have to go searching for that - only know its a film:rotfl:

    Dont mind yoghurts (but aint they fattening?)

    This one? :)
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    daughter likes pasta salad - cooked pasta, mayo, red onion & red pepper. She also likes cous cous - much the same veg as before but with added cucumber, for some reason. And sometimes a cold frittata/spanish omelette and crusty roll.
