Any lenten suggestions for eating at fast food places?
 

I am Catholic so right now I can't eat meat on Fridays. I usually bring my lunch to work or grab something from a fast food restaurant. I don't know what to do now because I can't really make broiled fish or shrimp at work (we only have a microwave) and most fast food places only have the fried breaded fish. Anyone have any ideas on what I can eat?

Egg salad?

(are you allowed eggs?)

yes we can eat eggs...basically anything but red meat, pork and chicken. Thanks for your post

Tuna is quick and easy at work. Otherwise you might have to plan ahead for Friday's and have some sort of fish to bring with you. I think most fast food places bread their fish for their fish sandwiches.

Tuna or salmon salad on a bed of lettuce. Cook your fish the night before and bring it to work and heat up.

There is a tofu mac and cheese recipe on this forum somewhere. Its high in calories but really pretty good and re-heats very well.
I make a mock danish in corningware in the morning and take it to work to eat chilled mid-morning because I hate eating breakfast at 6. Tastes better cold.

How about the pizza quiche?
 

If you don't have the recipe for the pizza quiche, do a web search for it. (It's often called Donald's Pizza Quiche, after the person who popularized it.)

It microwaves really well and is great for lunch.

I would give you the recipe right here, but I don't have it with me. I'm sure others would post it for you if you can't find it.

Get a salad to go and top with hard cooked eggs, canned tuna or salmon, or some cheese you've brought from home.

Make up some great salads or reheatables with fish - tuna, salmon, whatever your preference.

I love to have a salmon fillet/steak reheated for lunch. Sometimes I'll buy the packaged ones from Costco or M&M Meats, which are each individually vacuum sealed, so I can make it just for me (I'm the only one LCing in my household).

The M&M have a dill sauce - watch the other sauce - it has carbs. I just bring it in a microwaveable container, along with a salad or something, and I've got a great lunch - any day.

I've made tuna salad and had it for breakfast.

Under my desk is a can of smoked tuna, some smoked mussels and/or oysters, sardines, kippers, mackerel fillets - all canned and ready to eat if I ever forget my lunch, or just can't endure what I've brought, or have to work late - I want to never have the option of "picking up something at Tim Horton's" (the closest fast food place to where I work).

Now that I'm the only parent home, I have to make sure my children are well-fed, but that doesn't mean neglecting myself just because they want mac & cheese, or something I won't be eating.

Big greek salad - no chicken.

Get some of those nice packets of tuna, and you can dump that on any salad. You can also get those with a mayo packet and mix up some tuna salad of your own.

Subway Veggie wrap, or their seafood sandwich in a wrap.

Egg salad was a good one. Hmm, don't know about pimento cheese - might want to look into that. Cream cheese and olive wrap with LC tortillas, made yourself.

That's all I can think of for now. :)
