What do you eat for lunch

[Tomr10]

Looking for a sandwich replacement that can be prepared the night before

 

[ridger]

Interested, I'm just about sick of everything at the minute.

Salad in a box. I chuck everything in lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, beetroot, carrots, sardines, crackers, dressing.

Or pasta salad, with tuna etc. Oatcakes are other good bread replacement.

Keeps okay, I'm just generally away in tractor all day in winter and springtime. Would think it would be okay in summer. Maybe better in coolbag.

I enjoy a salad in the summer but find them a little un fulfilling in the winter pasta salad might be a good idea

Get rid of bread, work of the devil, I’ve been on packups what feels like my whole life, stodgy crap slows your stomach down making it work, this makes you tired and feel crap, the bread turns to glucose then your body has to fire loads of insulin to level your blood sugars, then you crash in a state of extreme hunger at 3pm as you blood sugars run low.
I have wraps, meat, fruit, lots to drink, most people are constantly dehydrated and only drink tea/coffee

Thought wraps were worse than bread ?

I quite like the tinned mackerel fillets on oatcakes.
Muesli in a Tupperware box that can act as a bowl.
Porridge pots.
Muller yogurts.
Grab yourself a cool box and throw a couple of freezer blocks in it. Nothing worse than a warm lunch that shouldn't be warm.

Gluten free wraps, it’s the wheat that’s hard to digest.
I only like things in my packup I can eat on the go, can’t eat a salad while hedgecutting, also I need snacks, if I had a salad I would of eaten it by 10.30

Do you not think you need to get better organised, if you don't even have time to stop and eat?

It will of course vary according to what folk are doing but there can be health benefits for many of us for skipping lunch. Particularly for those of us who are 'just' sat in machines.

Human beings were not really designed to have 24/7 access to food....

We always stop when we are working together, but when I’m alone I prefer to eat on the go, I only stop for a leg stretch with the dog

 

[SilliamWhale]

Boiled eggs
Quinoa/ Cous Cous
Fruit

All I can look at is his allen keys. Funny and kind of what I used to do never ate post 8pm

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Eggs,plenty of turkey and chicken, pasta tuna . Loads of fruit . Plenty of water

Don't knock it till you try it - tuna and cold baked beans (mixed up together, maybe a dollop of mayo). No need to keep chilled as tinned, good for you and extremely filling.

I will try this tomorrow.
Good food is wasted on me, eating to me is just another job to stop the hunger to get on with life. I’m never fussy, can’t stand picky eaters.
And I eat fast, twice over Xmas at restaurants they give us our meal, ask if we want any sauces etc and by the time they come back I’ve eaten mine and have to sit and watch the weirdos pick and chew and faff for 20 mins!
I recently had a egg, curry and ham in a bowl at a buffet, people think I’m mad, just scoff it and get on with life!

I do enjoy good food, I just don’t mess around
