Fast Lunch Ideas

 If
you are a working man, you know how important lunch is. You can't
function without a good lunch. A good lunch is the difference between
feeling great during the afternoon and feeling worn out. Many times
we skip on lunch. We don't either eat the right things, or don't
eat at all. I know several people who don't eat any lunch at all.
Especially women, they think they can skip this meal and not have
to worry about it. I'm the type of person who can't skip a meal.
Maybe one of the reasons is that I can't turn down a good meal.
Though, if I don't eat, I can feel it. Nothing will make you feel
like shit quicker than skipping a meal. We all know what it feels
like. What do you do? You don't have time to fix a good lunch before
you go to work. Or do you? Of course you do. If you are in a relationship,
you have more than enough time. One thing I would suggest is that
you alternate fixing each others lunch. One day you fix both of
your lunches, while the next day have her fix both of them. This
will give you time to do the other things that you need to do.
You can also fix your lunch before you go to bed at night. By doing
this, you don't have to rush yourself. Which, will make your day
that much better. I hate having to rush in the morning. What kinds
of things should you fix? Here we will go into some simple things
to fix.
Tuna and Bell Pepper Pocket
3 (6-ounce) cans drained, solid white tuna (in water) ½ cup
chopped bell peppers ¼ cup chopped celery ¼ cup sliced
onions 8-12 lettuce leaves (preferably green) 2 medium-size sliced
tomatoes (8-12 slices total) 3 tbsp. fat-free Italian dressing 1 tbsp.
dried oregano 1 tbsp. black pepper 4 (6-inch) pita breads Combine
tuna, green peppers, celery and onions in a bowl. In another bowl,
combine dressing, black pepper and oregano, pour it over the tuna
mix and stir. Refrigerate for a few hours. When serving, put 2-3 tomato
slices and 2-3 lettuce leaves in each pita bread. Add tuna mix to
pitas. There's enough for 4 servings.
I love this. I don't
think there is a better easier lunch item than this.

Smoked Chicken Sandwich ½ (8-ounce) loaf sourdough bread ¼
tbsp. vinegar 2 tbsp. chopped parsley 1/8 cup low-fat mayonnaise or
fat-free salad dressing ¼ cup chopped bell peppers (you can't
go wrong with bell peppers) ½ small onion thinly sliced ½
medium sized tomato sliced 8 (1-ounce) slices low-fat mozzarella cheese
2 cloves minced garlic 8 (1-ounce) slices lean chicken 1 tbsp. black
pepper Slice the loaf of bread horizontally. Remove some soft bread
from inside each half. Stir mayonnaise and vinegar together. Add parsley,
bell peppers, black peppers, and garlic to the mix. Let stand for
15 minutes. Layer the bottom of the loaf with 4 slices of chicken
and cheese, then layer with half of the onions and half of the tomatoes.
Spread half of the mayonnaise concoction and repeat the entire process
from the start with the remaining ingredients. Close the sandwich
with the second bread shell and chill until it's ready to serve. When
serving, cut loaf into 3 wedges (secure loaf with wooden sticks for
a better cut). Makes 3 servings. There you have some easy lunch ideas.
