Cheap and easy lunch ideas.

[LUCAS]

Can anyone give me some ideas for a healthy lunch that is high in protein and fast and easy to make. I still live at home and goto school so it needs to needs to be easy to eat (no heating etc) and high in protein etc. I dont have much time in the morning and cant really afford to be buying seperate food but we have a fairly good supply of fish and we own a farm so we get a lot of sheep and beef as well. Any ideas will be helpful.

Thanks.

Dude, I think you've pretty much answered your own question...you have access to lots of fish, beef and sheep...cook it up the night before school. If you are unable to re-heat it at school, just eat it cold. Unless you're rolling keto, have it with some cold rice. Cold fish & rice...100 billion japs, chinese & vietnamese can't be wrong

Meat sandwiches? Just use some good whole grain bread, throw in some lettuce and tomato and a few slices of roast beef or lamb.

You also could make any kind of stir-fry the night before, should last for a few days of lunches. beef and veges, lamb and veges etc whatever. Usually taste better reheated but certainly edible at room temp.

Let glad containers be your friend!

Good beef, lamb, fish - cook up a batch it'll keep in the fridge for a few days at a time. Same with brown rice - boil up a cup or so (uncooked measure), it does just fine in the fridge.

For hassle-free cooking use a George Foreman grill or Breville healthsmart grill (4-5 min for steaks, 9-10 mins for chicken breast, dunno about fish). Nothing wrong with a pan for the beef or lamb, bake the chook in an oven.

You can even do kumera in the George, slice it into 1cm thick slices and cook for 9-10 mins. If you use cooking paper, even clean-up's easy.

For fresh veg, good choices that are low in carbs are capsicums, tomatoes, celery, cucumber, etc... chop it all up, pack it in glad container the night before.

For essential fats, throw a little olive oil in with the rice. If you don't like rice, coupla slices of Molenberg's a good easy carb choice.
