If you want to lose weight your in the right
place.
If you are a working man, you
know how important lunch is.
 You
can't function without a good lunch. A good lunch is the
difference between feeling great during the afternoon and feeling
worn out. Many times we skip on lunch. We don't either eat the
right things, or don't eat at all. I know several people who
don't eat any lunch at all. Especially women, they think they can
skip this meal and not have to worry about it. I'm the type of
person who can't skip a meal. Maybe one of the reasons is that I
can't turn down a good meal. Though, if I don't eat, I can feel
it. Nothing will make you feel like shit quicker than skipping a
meal. We all know what it feels like. What do you do? You don't
have time to fix a good lunch before you go to work. Or do you?
Of course you do.
If you are in a relationship,
you have more than enough time.
One thing I would suggest is that you alternate
fixing each others lunch. One day you fix both of your lunches,
while the next day have her fix both of them. This will give you
time to do the other things that you need to do.
You can
also fix your lunch before you go to bed at night. By doing this,
you don't have to rush yourself. Which, will make your day that
much better. I hate having to rush in the morning. What kinds of
things should you fix? Here we will go into some simple things to
fix.
Tuna and Bell Pepper Pocket
3 (6-ounce) cans drained, solid white tuna (in
water) ½ cup chopped bell peppers ¼ cup chopped
celery ¼ cup sliced onions 8-12 lettuce leaves (preferably
green) 2 medium-size sliced tomatoes (8-12 slices total) 3 tbsp.
fat-free Italian dressing 1 tbsp. dried oregano 1 tbsp. black
pepper 4 (6-inch) pita breads Combine tuna, green peppers, celery
and onions in a bowl. In another bowl, combine dressing, black
pepper and oregano, pour it over the tuna mix and stir.
Refrigerate for a few hours. When serving, put 2-3 tomato slices
and 2-3 lettuce leaves in each pita bread. Add tuna mix to pitas.
There's enough for 4 servings.
I love this. I don't think
there is a better easier lunch item than this.
Black Bean Salad ½ (8-ounce) can drained
black beans 1 (15-ounce) can drained whole kernel corn 4 chopped
green onions ½ chopped green bell pepper 3 diced tomatoes
½ avocado peeled, pitted and diced ½ (2-ounce) jar
pimentos 2 tbsp. lemon juice 3 ounces fat-free Italian salad
dressing ¼ tsp. garlic salt Combine Italian dressing,
black beans, green onions, corn, bell pepper, avocado, pimento,
tomatoes, and lemon juice in a bowl. Add and toss pepper, salt
and garlic. Store in Tupperware and refrigerate. Offers up three
delicious servings for that big appetite of yours.
This is another great one.
Smoked Chicken Sandwich ½ (8-ounce) loaf
sourdough bread ¼ tbsp. vinegar 2 tbsp. chopped parsley
1/8 cup low-fat mayonnaise or fat-free salad dressing ¼
cup chopped bell peppers (you can't go wrong with bell peppers) ½
small onion thinly sliced ½ medium sized tomato sliced 8
(1-ounce) slices low-fat mozzarella cheese 2 cloves minced garlic
8 (1-ounce) slices lean chicken 1 tbsp. black pepper Slice the
loaf of bread horizontally. Remove some soft bread from inside
each half. Stir mayonnaise and vinegar together. Add parsley,
bell peppers, black peppers, and garlic to the mix. Let stand for
15 minutes. Layer the bottom of the loaf with 4 slices of chicken
and cheese, then layer with half of the onions and half of the
tomatoes. Spread half of the mayonnaise concoction and repeat the
entire process from the start with the remaining ingredients.
Close the sandwich with the second bread shell and chill until
it's ready to serve. When serving, cut loaf into 3 wedges (secure
loaf with wooden sticks for a better cut). Makes 3 servings.
There you have some easy lunch ideas. Try these, you are sure to
love them.
