Your diet: Lunches

Average rating:

Lunches: Approx 250 cals
All your lunches are easy, nutritious sandwiches. Use only bread with seeds or grains. My recommendations (all in major supermarkets):
- Vogel's Sunflower & Barley
- Vogel's Original Mixed Grain
- Burgen Soya & Linseed
- Warburtons Seeded Batch
- The Village Bakery Rye With Coriander

Fillings
- Mixed salad with small tin tuna and optional 1tsp mayo
- Half an avocado, mashed with 3 walnuts and drizzle walnut oil
- 1 sliced tomato and individual pot low-fat Philadelphia
- Open sandwich (1 slice) of 2tbsp prawns mixed with 2tsp mayonnaise, on lettuce
- 50g wafer-thin ham with mustard
- Individual portion Brie with 6 sliced grapes or 4 broken walnuts
- 2tbsp cottage cheese with pineapple chunks
- 2 thin slices cold chicken with 4-6 orange segments (tinned is fine)
- 1 hard-boiled egg, 1tsp mayo and small bunch watercress

Desserts
- Piece of fruit or fruit jelly

Feeling peckish?
With only 38 calories each, Rich Tea biscuits are hardly indulgent, and far better than the 250 calories you'd eat in the average muffin, slice of cake or chocolate bar
