Hi Caroline,
Hope the preparations are going well for the job - when do you start?
I'm still learning what I can put together for meals both at work and at home that adhere to the guidelines and these are the general kinds of things that I'm consuming (nothing too complicated as I'm no Jamie Oliver in the kitchen!)
Work:
morning - dry muffin/bagel
Snacks - walkers have just bought out some baked crisps which have only 0.2g of saturated fat and they're pretty good (taste a bit like pringles)
- I heard somewhere that ginger nut biscuits are good so been having a few (ahem) of those, though once you start you cant stop which is proving to be a problem.
- fat free crackers, for when you just want something to nibble on.
Lunch:
-I buy a french stick which lasts me a few days and put in chicken with some tomatoes/peppers
- white pitta bread pockets with tinned tuna in spring water + sweetcorn and low fat mayo
- sounds a bit weird but English muffins toasted with chopped up tomoatoes and spring onions on top is really nice.
- also alpro soy yoghurts for something a bit sweeter and they actually taste like yoghurts!
Evening
- white penne pasta with a low fat sauce is always a winner, particularly with hoi sin sauce, mushrooms, chicken and spring onion or tomato and basil
- nice and easy - make your own pizzas, buy some bases and then top with low fat sauce/chicken etc.. bung in the oven for 20 mins and et voila obviously leaving out the cheese!
- I tried out a recipe from here - chicken cinnamon and lime fajitas which is quick and easy when you've just collapsed from work so that may work for you as well depending on your taste.
I also have a fair few cups of fennel tea throughout the day, esp with the weather getting colder.
I better stop there as I could ramble on and on, hope that helps!
Let me know if you need anymore inspiration or indeed what you've come up with so far!
