I like to have a hot meal for lunch so I have to do make ahead. I steam a bunch of veggies, cook up some chicken and brown rice and then portion them out into frozen meals for two weeks....much better than Lean Cuisine and more filling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320300408192462863.post-25483297050481680842010-09-15T07:49:39.907-07:002010-09-15T07:49:39.907-07:00Shrimp salad sounds yummy.

The only salad that I like and fills me up is one that has avocados, boiled eggs and chickpeas in addition to the greens and tomatoes, I don't put a dressing on it because it's already creamy from the avocados and the tomatoes.<br /><br />For me, lunch has to be the biggest meal because the time between lunch and dinner is too long (in our household), we eat dinner at 7:30pm at the earliest on weekdays, so dinner has no purpose in terms of keeping the hunger away.<br /><br />I have a small fridge in my office so that helps in not thinking everyday about what to bring, I just store bread and cheeses and all the other stuff that I may need to make a quick lunch, and fruits for snacking.<br /><br />Hugs!Dimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983353513354568991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320300408192462863.post-5845285286378770782010-09-13T13:58:12.085-07:002010-09-13T13:58:12.085-07:00when I was working I made 4 bowls of salad on Sun...when I was working I made 4 bowls of salad on Sunday night- Always had to include beans and or turkey or chicken to help fill me up. added toppings in small baggies & light dressing in small containers I had. Or took the bottle of dressing with me. <br /><br />For Sean we make a lot of pasta & bean salads w/ lots of diced veggies. He eats them all week.<br /><br />I also like wraps, tuna (or chicken, or egg) salad w/ crackers. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009516137159510425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320300408192462863.post-91211924483512315972010-09-13T11:14:57.900-07:002010-09-13T11:14:57.900-07:00Thank you Dima.

I am sure yours makes ours look pleasant though!<br /><br />This week I made shrimp salad (I didn't like it much, but it is not bad enough that I can't finish) and this chickpea couscous salad that turned out amazing. It is filling and it tastes great, but it is pretty high in points/calories -- but it is healthy so I think it is ok.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00149397754795871378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320300408192462863.post-39956437072048932752010-09-13T10:22:47.919-07:002010-09-13T10:22:47.919-07:00Homemade soups: my favorite is lentil because it f...Homemade soups: my favorite is lentil because it fills me up and I like the taste, and a piece of bread.<br /><br />Homemade sandwiches (turkey or hummus mostly and a lot of veggies inside on rye bread) with apples or baby carrots on the side.<br /><br />Anything had for dinner the night beforeDimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983353513354568991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320300408192462863.post-33571287067436804102010-09-12T19:20:21.547-07:002010-09-12T19:20:21.547-07:00I have always struggled with this too.
