    Eric and other low-carbers - what do you eat for lunch?

    I have a salad most days - tuna or cottage cheese. If you have a fridge in work, can you stock it up at the beginning of the week and make a quick salad each day?

    Not doing very well with the exercise challenge - shoulder still sore from fall that I had and now my hip is giving me bother. :mad:

    The good news is that I went out for lunch with a few friends I hadn't seen for a while, who all noticed that I had lost weight.:T

    I need something that I can take to work with me, that is cheap and low effort. At work I have a fridge, a microwave, a kettle and a toaster.

    I am really stuck for healthy lunch ideas :think:

    Cheers!

    tuna / chicken / beef 120-150g
    nuts 30-50g (almonds can be cheap, 800g for £5 in tesco)
    roasted bean mix 30-50g
    live yoghurt its not cheap thou :( but nom nom nom :)

    18g carbs

    I am pretty repetitive for lunch but then i ate cheese and onion sandwiches for lunch everyday for 5 years :)

    59 minutes - Max Interval Circuit

    Was a bit tough this morning as 2 year old son woke up when I did. I usually open the windows and doors to get in some air but he kept on saying, "I'm cold mummy" so I had to close everything and sweat like a pig :rotfl:

    Well done, my little man always turns off my treadmill when I am on it and say 'too much exercising' it is very hard working out with a nipper about so well done!

    Well I have had a 1lb loss currently weighing in at 10.13 and a quarter. It is the first time I have been under 11 stone in 3 years.

    Last night 18/7/11 I managed 1hr15 'brick' session where I went treadmills, bike, treadmill, bike, treadmill. Trying to get my legs ready for a triathlon in a few weeks.

    Am hopefully going out on a longish cyclle today

    Good luck in your efforts today. BTW to those who don't think 1 hr is enough exercise my peraonl belief is look at quality and intensity if training rather than duration. I would much rather do a 3 hr steady bike than the session I did last night as it is much harder! HTH
