Too cold for salads

    I happily munch away on salad over the summer but now that the temperature is dropping, and my workplace is pretty unheated, I want something warming to keep me going.

    Currently I'm going for soups with rice added in, but I want to keep up my healthy eating/weight loss. Any ideas for warming, filling, low cal, high fibre lunches?

    Do you have access to a fridge and a microwave at work?
    If so make extra dinner the evening before and have it for lunch.

    You could still have hot chicken salad or hot steak salad etc with a bit of reheating

    Well, now I just feel silly.

    I'm going to blame the smell of sausages from my colleague's breakfast roll for my brain melt.

    Na no reason to, I know where you're coming from but if you do eat them you can still keep at it

    Make chili / bolognaise type stuff with chicken or lean beef / turkey mince. Add bell peppers and a tin of tomatoes and whatever fibrous veg you fancy. Lidl / Aldi do nice bags of frozen veg.

    If you dont have access to a microwave you can get one of these bad boys
