Lunch Ideas?



Recommended Posts

My most challenging meal of the day is lunch. I just never know what to eat. I usually eat a salad with grilled chicken breast strips, a Protein shake or leftovers from the night before(depending on what it was).

I need some healthy/budget friendly ideas. Any suggestions would help. Thanks :)

If you're on a really low carb diet it may not work for you' date=' but I tend to eat a lot of Lean Cuisines for lunch. Fast, easy, inexpensive, and gives me a variety.[/quote']

I agree! I love them but some have lots of sodium and most of them have Pasta :(

Thanks for the suggestion :)

I eat tuna most days. Lots of Protein. I keep a jar of mayo and relish in the office fridge. Sometimes I bring a boiled egg as well. Quick, easy and definitely economical! the 2.6 oz tuna package is $1.25.

Good Luck!

You can try grilled veggies and cottage cheese. With Mrs. Dash you can't really go wrong. Or miracle noodles with veggies and a little sauce. They are awesome tasting, quick to make and they have great nutrition facts. A little goes a long way for bandsters. They come in different favors which is really cool too. Good luck ???Š

Besides the best thing ever, they are Protein and veggie based noodles. The whole package is 12oz give or take and if you ate the whole thing it's only 50 cals and 2 grams of Protein. The brand I use is Pasta slim. I get the spinach kind and make a Greek yogurt& laughing cow wedge "sauce" and it's delish! It's gluten free and I think that's the trick.

I forgot to add, they are already hydrated in liquid. So it just takes a few min to warm them up. And you did them usually in the dairy section/refrigeration section

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
