My friend emails me nearly every day and always wants to know what I am eating for lunch! Maybe it is because I am trying to be healthy now so I avoid Hungry Jacks etc as I would hate to have to admit to eating it!

So... what are you having for lunch today?

Bit of a Ploughman's Lunch today. Sanga with ham, cheese and onion marmalade. Yum! Brunetti (famous cake shop here) tray full of goodies sitting just behind me. Try and be good, try and be good, try and be good.....!!

Oh Luisa how good is Brunetti's! You have to have a little something...!

I had 2 rows of Cadbury Fruit and Nut after lunch, needed a little something yummy!!

Ohh my naturopath (who I haven't been to in years!) recommended

Apple, Carrot, Celery & Beetroot - I used to love it! It was recommended for my low iron levels but am sure it would be good for other things too!

Apple Carrot Celery and ginger is another good one from memory - the ginger gives it a bit of a kick! :penguin:

nattieb

04-04-2007, 04:05 PM

Pineapple?? That's interesting!

Yeah it made it a bit sweet - only small pineapple pieces!

I tend to get a bit carried away at the salad shop - you stand and point out all the 'toppings' you want in your salad so it's hard to think on the spot what would go best - it all tasted good though! :drunk:

Yep, just from the fish and chip shop on Rathdowne St. It's their "fish burger" - usually they put egg+cheese+onion in it too but I asked for just salad.

It's cold a miserable here today in Melbourne, and I'm having bad thoughts already about what to have for lunch:redcheeks: . I'm thinking fried dimsims, chips... anything fried and hot. A scotch and coke would be nice too... I probably shouldn't say that at this time of the morning, you might get the wrong idea about me!

I had a chickwich (chicken sandwich for the uninitiated) for lunch today. Still hungry though, and I have heaps of time until dinner so I might have a hamwich to tide me over!

tim tam

06-04-2007, 12:06 AM

I had some penne pasta with a rich tomato salsa - was yummy but got hungry pretty quickly afterwards!

Havent had any meat for 40 days (fasting for Easter) so most of my lunches dont tend to fill me up too much till dinner time

pinkcupcake

I guess today will be very much the same for most people. I had travalla baked with lemon, orange, chives and other herbs with a huge salad and a seafood cocktail for entre.

Luisa Brown

08-04-2007, 10:51 PM

We each had a pie from the famous Avoca Pie Store in country Vic, yeah not your typical lunch, but lunch on the run when you still have hours to drive!

Made up for it tonight, mum made a fish dish called Bakala (a salted dry fish) that is soaked, bones removed and then cooked in the oven with potatoes, onion and tomato. Three days to prepare, no wonder we only have it once a year!

Plain old ham and salad roll today i think with extra philly cheese and advocado.

I live in a small country town so therefore we have crappy takeaway food so its just easier for me to go home for lunch. There are so many days when i just want KFC for lunch or noodle box or a reallt delicious salad that i don't have to make.

Oh well, ham and salad roll will have to do. Boo HOO

Homemade salad today

Various lettuce leaves (not iceburg -eeww) tomato, semi-dried tomatoes, celery, asparagus, baby beetroot, think that was it! (looking at plate and can't remember what else was on there that i may've picked out and eaten already!) :rollthoseeyes:

Am cold here at work though so will be having a cuppa shortly I think :hearts:

Lunch with the girls at work today. We're heading off to a new Pasta bar - cept they don't just do pasta, they do pizza etc too. Also has a pastry bar attached to it - hello dessert!

Will report back later on what I had and if it was any good! :spin:

I'm going to have something big and hot and unhealthy and delicious. Like a pizza or something. I went a leeeetle bit too hard last night and I'm definitely paying for it this morning so I think that will help me survive the day.

Luisa Brown

I ate an entire packet of chips last night by myself (don't ask) so I'm trying really hard to be healthy. I'm just going to buy loads of vegies at lunchtime and eat them all day. I might have some toast because I need carbs constantly. I'm not going to eat anymore crap!

my kebab wasn't THAT bad - i had the lettuce, onion, tomatos, taboulhi (spell?) felafel and hummus so that was good....

i just feel guilty cause i'm trying to be healthy at the moment....

I will make you feel better RBB, research shows that eating dairy foods not only keep you fuller but actually assist weight loss! There are numerous articles on this but I have picked just one...

Research suggests you shouldn't eat carbohydrates alone, eat it with some protein and/or a good fat.
Eg. don't eat an apple on its own, eat it with a handful of walnuts/almonds or a piece of low fat cheese. Leaves you feeling fuller for longer. :)

Didn't know that, thanks Jaime. Yes, must get a bigger hit of protein into the daily diet, could also help boost my iron levels. Have had problems with anaemia in the past so more meat needed, stat! Can I start with a sausage roll?? He he, just kidding

I'm also a compulsive batter-eater....I loooove eating raw cake/muffin/biscuit dough or batter out of the bowl. Then I wonder why my cake only turned out 3cm high - it's because I ate half the mixture before it went into the tin!

Me too - and then I get puzzled as to why I've only ended up with 18 biscuits when the recipe said I'd have 30...

Am about to go and have lunch now - golden syrup and date flavoured porridge.

I just had a toasted wrap from MYO - Make your Own - not sure if it's something we've only got in Brisneyland but you go in and put together your own sanger or wrap and they charge you for it... good if you are still wanting to be healthy...

oh and a nudie juice - trying to be somewhat healthy today! :glee:

I had carrot sticks with tzatziki....not the worst thing in the world, but probably not the best either (the tzatziki wasn't the low-fat variety....).
