a commuters lunch

Yukirin

right then, you crazy cats, what do you all eat in this Godly lunch hour?
Do you consider yourself to be on a "diet" (weight loss or otherwise)?
I, like Garfield, love some lasagna and a couple of bread rolls (not on a "diet") However this cant be everyday!
I'm partly looking for inspiration and hoping Hugh Fearnly-Whittingstall has left some gaps in his lunchtime know-all that you all can fill.

Monkeypump

I've just had mushroom soup (with rolls), followed by guinea fowl, veg & spuds with sitcky toffee pudding to finish.

Obviously the 'diet' went out of the window today, although I was at an offsite meeting so not a normal day.

Bloody lovely though!

Duck Masaman Curry

cyclingprop

Cheese and onion pasty. Chips. Gravy.

Oops.

msmancunia

Cheese and parma ham sandwich. Banana. Tracker bar. OJ. Everything else is off limits due to flipping Lent, so I could kill someone for some chocolate/crisps/cake/biscuits/sweets.....

clarkey cat

mushroom stroganoff with rice.

twix.

CiB

Brown bread roll x 2 with chicken; yoghurt; orange; little packet of Sunny Raisins and a cup of coffee. And some grapes.

There's a packet of digestives in my desk though.

DrLex

Camberwell carrot

Family bag of cool cheese doritos

2x Relentless

graham.

2x Toasted teacakes with cheese&tomato.

Nom nom nom.

Green chicken curry from Pod and the remnants of last night's panazella.

Feck it, just checked Pod's website and that curry was an obscene 692 calories, and I'm still hungry. FFS.

Forgot to make sarnies last night. So a Sainsbury's £3 meal deal, posh ham and cheese sandwich, oj and a packet of Quavers. Half a packet of Ginger nuts to keep me topped up through the day.

willy b

Usually a bowl of Heinz Tomato soup, 2 x crusty bread rolls, packet of baked crisps & a mini KitKat.

Often have a bowl on Bran Flakes at 11am after the normal breakfast at 7:30am. Now i've extended my commute I do tend to get quite hungry!

Today though I had a big burger, & chips from the local posh pub around the corner as I was meeting a mate.

esspeebee

All day breakfast and a mug of tea.

I used to do two cans of relentless a day, every day for 3 years. Took me a year to ween myself off it and stop the headaches! I try and stick to just coffee now and just have the occasional can.

MonkeyMonster

big pasta thing that will tide me over dinner and 3 hours of choral practice straight from work.

Clever Pun

Some sushi and then some pineapple chucks.

Currently ignoring some biscuits

vermin

A protein shake;
a massive doorstep cheese sandwich, fresh from the breadmaker this morning;
five bananas;
a cup of tea;
and 4 peanut m&ms.
So far.

I've got the shits.

Stress + IBS = the shits.

But my new frame arrived, so hopefully starting on that this evening will help me come down and squeeze in some homemade pizza.

TheStone

Usually a big soup.
Today, chips and beans!

jonnyboy77

beans or spaghetti hoops on two slices of toast ... haute cuisine it is not!

dhope

Tends to be one of the 'healthy' M&S ready meals
Plus chocolate bar

And snack on mixed fruit/nuts before and after
And yoghurt/muesli mid afternoon often
Protein shake if I go to the gym

rjsterry

Half a small (400g) loaf made into a red leicester and rocket sandwich, 3 slices of soreen, an apple and a banana, and a nice big mug of coffee. Then another banana for mid afternoon snack I'm lucky to have a small kitchen and fridge in the office, so stock up at the supermarket a couple of times a week and make my own sandwiches most days.

How do they manage to cram so many calories into such a pathetic portion? It's impressive. I normally bring food in, but have been lax this week.
