Slimming World Lunches For Work
If you typically have lunch at your workplace, you may need to think of some more original Slimming World lunch options. Although while you probably won’t have access to the same kitchen amenities as you do at home, you can still have a variety of filling midday meals.
If you can eat at work, here are some tips and suggestions to keep in mind for when you need a Slimming World lunch:
- Preparation and getting ready are essential. Plan a week’s worth of lunches in one sitting on a Sunday. This will make it easier for you to resist the urge to buy something from the vending machine.
- Cook in bulk whenever you can for your lunches. For instance, if you prepare a large bowl of pasta salad and store it in the refrigerator, it will likely sustain you for the most of the week.
- Be aware of the small treats you could munch on throughout the day at work, and record any Syns you consume.
- Think about preparing an extra serving of your dinner and eating it for lunch the following day. Less time spent in the kitchen as a result! If you have a microwave at work, you’ll have more alternatives, although many foods can also be served cold.
Ideas For Eating Out At Lunchtime On Slimming World
Because no item is completely off limits under the Slimming World program, you can still enjoy eating out while pursuing your objectives.
You don’t need to deprive yourself while you’re on the road because there are still plenty of options available.
The official Slimming World Syns directory features a large number of well-known eateries and coffee shops, allowing you to make ahead plans. The same rules apply if you purchase a sandwich or a meal deal from a grocery store.
A little common sense goes a long way if you have to stray from the path and will be eating at an independent cafe, for example. If you’re ordering a sandwich, don’t be afraid to request that the bread be delivered without butter and that any salad dressing be provided on the side.
Ensuring You Get Your Speed Foods
Do not forget that according to the fundamentals of the Slimming World diet, you should make sure that one-third of your meals consist of fast food.
This will ensure that you obtain the vitamins and minerals you require for your overall health and wellbeing, as well as that you feel full after eating.
A salad is a terrific alternative for lunch, and by varying the vegetables you use, you can keep things interesting and diverse. You can also try a lot of dressings that are Syn-free or low-Syn.
A fruit salad as a side dish may also be a fantastic idea, or you could prepare some carrot, cucumber, and baby tomato crudités.

No Ordinary Sandwich
Sandwiches are a great lunchbox filler since they can be prepared the night before, eaten on the fly, and they are very satisfying. To make your sandwich as substantial as possible, pile it high with Free Foods like lean cooked meats, vegetables, and salad.
There are many ways to level up your sandwiches without jeopardizing your weight loss while you’re Food Optimising because you can choose from wholemeal bread, rolls, wraps, and pita breads for your daily Healthy Extra ‘b’ choice. Your Consultant will go over your Healthy Extra options with you when you join Slimming World, and you’ll also receive a Food Optimising guide, access to our online food search engine, planner, and barcode scanner, all of which will make it simpler for you to stick to the plan.

½ tsp mustard powder
shredded lettuce
½ tomato, sliced
½ red onion, sliced
1 roasted red pepper in brine from a jar drained, rinsed and sliced
cooked skinless turkey slices
2 gherkins, sliced

Prep Like A Boss
We at Slimming World are huge proponents of preparation, so making your lunch in advance will guarantee that you have a slimming-friendly meal ready to go when lunchtime hunger strikes! Before you start work, you can quickly make a salad and store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container to keep it fresh until lunchtime. If you wish to prepare ahead of time, a large batch of veggie-rich soup will keep for up to five days in the refrigerator, or even longer if you store certain parts in the freezer.
Would you like to make your own Slimming World soup? Butternut squash and cannellini beans are added to our free carrot and coriander dish to make it even more satiating.

Use Your Leftovers
The leftovers from last night make full lunches with the least amount of work. Reheated and paired with a crisp salad the following day, our meatball pasta bake is fantastic. For a quick and simple lunch, you could also top a jacket potato with the mixed bean chilli from the previous night. Also, you’ll save money on your grocery bill because you’re making your meals last longer.
In preparation for his lunch break, Ryan packed up his leftover Asian BBQ chicken along with some egg fried rice and steamed broccoli. “Leftovers are the finest!” he exclaims. And this one motivated me at work.
If Ryan’s leftovers are whetting your appetite, try our sticky chicken, which only requires four ingredients and is just as delicious the next day!
