Hi everyone, I am new to this and have just started eating a bit healthier. Im quite a fussy eater so I won't be having salads for lunch at all. I do not like salad i.e. lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cucumber etc but I like vegetables like broccoli carrots peas etc. Recently for my lunch at work I have been having chicken, rice and frozen mixed veg but it is so bland so I have been having that siracha chilli sauce on it, does this make it unhealthy? can anyone give an alternative? I also have salmon and pasta with veg. Then some days I will swap out so I don't have any carbs and just have veg with the meat/fish...
For breakfast I will have toast and tin peaches, is this ok?

Hi ashortland and welcome to the weight loss forum.
Be careful with the ready made sauces as some can have a lot of sugar in them and high with calories. Take a look at our Daily Diary in Events and you will get some good ideas for meals there.

Hi I batched cook food divide them into 4 and freeze them and reheat at work. I have spaghetti bolognaise (add the spaghetti after I have defrosted the bolognaise), chilli con carne (add rice later) I use quorn or soya since I don't eat meat. I also make a curry sauce in advance. Roast vegetable and couscous is also good.
Hi, For breakfast why not try porridge for a change. It should help keep you fuller longer. I even eat it cold; just add col milk and wait a minute for it to mush up a bit! For lunches there are many ideas on the daily meal thread. I'm also a fussy eater, I hate raw tomatoes so will always avoid them, but surprisingly I do like gazpacho and fresh salsa dip. I recently tried an I iceberg salad with feta and watermelon and it was really good! Maybe just try new things sometimes? I think dried spice don't add many calories so why not try some curry spice or chilli to your veg while cooking? Cheers, Sarah
