Ok i am trying to lose weight so please bear that in mind when replying.
I normally have sandwiches or similar for lunch as thats my light meal of the day.
But i am sick of them. What could i have that wouldn't be that bad? I don't want a main meal as i have that in the evening but something that would fill me up.
Suggestions please.
I don't like tomato or fresh fish.

low fat supernoodles
jacket potato and low fat filling
What do you have in it?
The nuts do have fat in them, but its important oil to have in your diet.
Because salad doesn't have that much in it, you can safely graze away until you're full. Just be careful with the dressing.
Yep soup is really filling and comes in loads of varieties so you can get loads of different tastes - although the Asda reduced salt range is horrid!! :yuck:
:thumb:
I'd third the soup recommendation - get a chunky one with lots of veg and that'll fill you up - with toast or bread.
I just had tomato soup with two slices of marmite and cheese on toast. Not that that's healthy or anything, and it's tomato which you don't like but...still
Ah, I see. I was going to say... life without tomato soup would not be worth living!
Aww I wish salad filled me up
I would go for jacket potato and tuna or I'm liking the marmite and cheese on toast option.
Tomato soup :yuck: sorry Briggi
Have a chicken ceasar salad!!
basically you just need to expend more energy than you giving your body atm to loose weight if thats what you want to do. and exercise (not just food) is critical to that!
ideas for lunch?
- i'd suggest and omlette or jacket potato or small pasta salad or similar if you're bored of sandwiches. although you could always try using different types of breads: baguette, ciabatta, pitta, etc and different fillings; hummus and chargrilled veg is a good one
Salad is a low fat and low calorie option, until you smother it in fatty dressings.
Use a low-fat dressing, or better still just use things like vinegar and herbs, and salad is the most healthy thing you can eat. And as things like lettuce and celery are basically calorie-free, you just keep eating until you are full.
If you're trying to lose weight a chicken caesar salad is not a good idea, and nor is a carb-laden meal, such as jacket potato or pasta. Jacket potatoes also have the same problem with dressings- cheese, butter, beans and mayo are not exactly low-calorie.
Hummous is very very high in fat.
