    I took to work tuna mixed with a small can of sweetcorn, 1 tbsp. low fat mayo and a few pickled beetroots. Plus a cuppa soup. It was surprisingly filling and I enjoyed it :)

    I had HM hummus on HM bread with Aldi butter/oil spread and a cuppa tea.

    Simple and lovely and very cheap!

    I had a bowlful of lettuce, sweetcorn, grilled peppers (from the fridge) and LO salmon, with mayo, crispy onions, chilli flakes and fresh coriander. No pic as I was hungry :o

    This is exactly my kind of lunch! It's filling because it's high in protein ( tuna) and fat (mayo, full-fat is fine) but low in starch (pasta/rice/ bread etc). Two portions of veg there too ;).

    I've had a bowl of homemade curried butternut soup with a slice of homemade bread toasted and topped with the last tbsp of tuna mayo. Why can't they squeeze that last bit of tuna mayo in their sandwich? I'll never know

    I am sick of eating sandwiches day after day! I really need to come up with alternatives which are light, yet easy/quick to prepare. I make soup every now and again when my veg draw is looking a little sad

    I don't mind cooking something which could be divided to eat over a number of days.

    There is dh, ds2 and myself home for lunch everyday and as a general rule we will eat ham or cheese sandwiches, sometimes a wrap (same filling!)
