    I like to have a subway, I love the melted cheese.
  • My favourite lunch - Chicken breast plus bag of steamfresh veggies plus some nuts (almonds) and sunflower seeds
  • lunch like me? Marmite on toast
    With love, POSR <3
  • Soup and crusty bread is all I need on a cold day!
  • the main idea is to choose balanced dishes, NO SNACKS! more fresh vegetables and fruits, just to avoid gaining extra weight

    Delicious magazine online and Pinterest is also great for ideas...i love creating wraps with leftover from the night before fillings...roast chicken, pulled pork. Salads for when im watching I love feta cheese, olives, tomato salad. Hummus, left over pasta into a salad works great as well...hope that helps!:)

  • £1 soup from any supermarket - buy the fresh stuff not tinned. It's tasty, healthy and lasts two lunches. Add a bread bun and some fruit :) I also go in for boxed salads £2 from Asda.

    - Vegetable soup (can make a huge batch and use it throughout the week) with some bread rolls
    - Falafel/Hummus Salad (or use wraps to create a healthy sandwich)
    - Couscous and salad.

    All affordable and quick to make (sorry for the lack of meat suggestions, i'm veggie! :P

    I always struggle to find cheap, easy lunch ideas online. They always seem to be too 'fancy' or too much effort to prepare.


    My lunches are either:


    *Chicken and Guocamole on a wholemeal wrap (I make a big batch of Guocamole myself and then either buy pre-cooked chicken or cook some breasts I have left over from shopping)
    *Salad with boiled eggs, spinach, peppers, cherry tomatoes and covered in salad dressing. (sometimes add tinned mackrel or salmon to this instead of the eggs)
    *A mug shot or cup o'soup (Only on the odd day when I CBA to make my lunch in the morning!)


    Or sometimes I get really lazy and make myself a peanut butter sandwhich :-D (usually Fridays when the shopping needs doing!)


    I also have with every single lunch: A banana, grapes and natural yoghurt. Sometimes Pistachio nuts.
