Lunch recipe recs? I'm tired of the same old.



Recommended Posts

So I thought I found the perfect lunchtime meal. Delicious, cheap, low cal and easy: miso Soup with sauteed greens and tofu or grilled cod.

However, I have now eaten this every day for over a month. I'm so tired of it.

So what is everyone else eating? I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm not a huge meat loving person. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I love Miso Soup too, but not every day. I am trying to save money to buy a house, so I am now eating my left over dinner for lunch. This is really amazing for me, because I never use to eat left overs. But I don't mind if I can save money to buy a home.

So, I make extra servings of dinner on purpose, so I can take the leftover to work to eat for lunch.< /p>

Examples:

Chili

Taco salad

Baked chicken with veggies

Baked fish with veggies

chicken casserole

Pasta casserole

When I don't have left overs from dinner, I will make lettuce or tortilla wraps for lunch.

Example: lettuce with humus spread on it and meat and cheese placed in the middle with onions and tomatoes.

Example: Multi grain tortilla with humus, meat, cheese, onion, and veggies.

And I can always make a nice salad with the left over meat from dinner.

I have really been enjoying these lately. Low carb, low fat & low cal.

~Spring Mix salad (lettuce)

~1/4 cup shredded cheddar/jack cheese

~few tbs salsa

~2 tbs low fat sour cream

~few tbs fat free italian dressing (I don't use much because of salsa already gives moisture)

~Marinated chicken breast (use whatever you like. I like light ceasar dressing, or just oil w/ some spice).

That's it! Enjoy!!!

Sometimes I just use turket breast if that's all i have on hand. This salad really stays w/ me for hours! It's about 550 cals or so I think.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
