Re: Healthy Lunch Box Ideas

You can eat cold chicken, as long as you keep the chicken cold, so could you get a cool bag?

-Soups are great
-Crustless quiche
-Spanish tortillia type omlettes, substituting other veg for potatoes. I li
-Scotch eggs/nargisi kofte
-Protein shake
-Moussaka at room temperature
-Stuffed mushrooms
-Salads with meat/fish/eggs etc
-Salmon and cream cheese roll ups
-Roast beef and cream cheese roll ups
-Lettuce of steam cabbage wrap

I don't think it's wise to elminate carbs completely from your diet....I don't like the idea of such plans. They provide you with energy and you can always choose healthier carbs instead of the junk food carbs.
