Lockdown Lunches

[Bezerk]

I used to eat a wide variety of healthy takeaway lunches when in the office. Now at home for the 4th Week I'm getting a bit fat due to my bread intake.

Can anyone post tips/links to resources for lunches other than sandwiches which are quick and don't require a lot ingredients to make?

Thanks

Omelettes - i'm eating lots of omelettes

I'm losing weight so far as although I am barely exercising I must've reduced my intake even more.

Typical lunch is a sweet potato with some kind of protein (smoked mackerel or a bit of ham) and a dollop of coleslaw or similar.

Soups nice and easy.

Celery/Potato/Garlic
Leek/Potato/Onion
Brocolli and Stilton

All last a few days or you can freeze.

Recipes are all pretty similar.

Chop the ingredients.
Drop into a pan with a bit of hot oil.
Add a little water to stop it sticking if necessary.
Cook for 15 or 20 minutes.

Add stock - just under a litre with a veggie stock cube.
Bubble for another 20 minutes.

Then blitz with a hand blender.

For Stilton you add at the end.

Add some milk after blending if the consistency is too thick.

Are you having to eat out of a normal bowl now like the rest of us?

much as i love noodles in this instance it might not be the best subtitute if he's trying to limit calories. 1 packet is anwyere from 400-500cals. i can quite easily eat 2.

I was thinking about getting a breville sandwich toaster. Plus a side salad. But that is bread still!
