I am trying to really limit my bread intake becuase I know this is what makes me gain weight but a salad in winter just doesn't cut it.

So.....
What did you have for lunch??

Are wraps any better than bread??

I use to live off soup which was 0 points & 1 or 2 slices of bread. So my lunch would only be 1 or 2 points for the bread

I don't know how many points it is but when I was loosing weight (not by ww) I use to have a salad and then add a handful of crispy noodles and some nuts to make it more filling.

I think wraps might be better? I agree with soups for lunch, just having something hot makes me feel fuller.

I used to have soup and a piece of bread or 2 in winter. In summer I used to have salads and add nuts/seeds, feta and sometimes a roll. I always found lunch the hardest as I needed it to be filling but wanted to limit the points to make dinner easier

wraps are about 2 points for a medium sized one... so no better than bread sadly....

For lunch I often use to have weight watchers meals, or an egg on toast, or salad with chicken chop or ham, or baked potato with coleslaw and light sour cream, or soup and toast.

I have soup and a sandwhich with lean meat and heaps of salad filling. Sometimes I toast it in the George Foreman (unbuttered) then open it up and put in salad fillings. I also make pizza from small lebanese bread and sometimes have cous cous or baked potato with a small can of tuna lite. Half a can of baked beans, cottage cheese or two poached eggs on one piece of dry toast is quite filling but I still have it with soup to increase the fillingness.

if its the fullness you require... you wont get it from bread or soups.. (simple carbs)

you need to eat protien..

chicken sandwich with yoghurt
Tuna salad w cottage cheese
baked beans and small jacket potato

try adding a small handfull of nuts.. a yogurt...


oh and i cut right back on bread and eat light crispbread instead 4 = 1 point. try adding hummous with tomato or some pesto for flavour

hope this helps

I have been on WW almost 11 months and have lost nearly 20kg WOOHOO

take it one day at a time :)
