Hi guys,
Im having a problem with what to eat for my lunch.I know about nutrition and know what I should be eating the only problem is whilst Im at work on a construction site I have no means of heating up food.I dont like tuna so that rules a tuna salad with potatoes out etc.Im looking for something I could put together in a small tuberware box that doesnt need heating up.Any ideas.

I used to compete and I use to take cold chicken breast with wholegrain rice,all cold which made me feel down and depressed,Im looking for something high in protein and carbs to fuel my workout later on in the day but also something tasty.Any advice ideas would be great.

Peanut butter and jam even better. ;)

Why not slice up the chicken breast and have it with some lettuce, tomato and mayo in a wholewheat sammich?
 
Even better is toast with peanut butter and sliced banana. Put that into the microwave for a couple of seconds to soften the banana. Yummm.
 
Make chicken pasta salad at home.

- chicken fillets, chopped up and broiled (quickly cooked in a little boiling water) with chicken spice
(hit it with a hammer or heavy kitchen tool - then chop it up)
- noodles
- mayo
- herbs and salt & pepper to taste
- cheese in small cubes
- herbs/salt & pepper/tomatoe/onion/peppers/ chopped broccoli - whatever veg you want to add
- a pinch of chilli or curry ( just a pinch - brings out the taste/combines)
 
I been hooked on sarmies wit loads of hummus and mango achar. Delish.

There is your problem. I actually enjoy cold food (with some exceptions obviously). Cold pasta salads are yum, Cold chicken dishes are yum, even some burgers are yum if you make your own patties and watch what garnish you use.

I love cold food too. Cold supper leftovers for breakfast = win.

lol.
 
Go the French way like I did for lunch today: Brown seed bread with tomato, parsley (from my herb garden :) ) and olives.

Look, I love chilli, but that sounds off ... !

Considering the weather in JHB this morning, I'd love to buy some ready-made pancake dough and bake a few pancakes with lovely fillings.
