So, today's guest post comes from one of my weight-loss friends, and one who has completed the journey - YAY!! Well done!
This is a great idea for lunch, especially the techniques used, as it fools us into thinking that we're actually getting more than we are!
Chicken Pasta Salad
Use either 1/2 a chicken breast (diced), or 1/3 of a packet of cooked chicken pieces - 2 propoints worth
30g of penne or fusilli pasta, boiled and then cut in half and cooled
Put the two ingredients in the lunch box, and start prepping the rest of the ingredients:
1 apple cut into small chunks
1 stick of celery diced
1/2 red onion (or less, or spring onion if you want something milder)
2 tbsp of fat-free / low-fat natural yoghurt (1pp / 2pp)
Maybe add a squeeze of lemon too, if it suits, or a good crack of black pepper for your own personal taste.
This works out as 7 pro-points, and I've been reliably informed that it's very filling!! :-)

Here's the pic Linda supplied!!
I had it today (the very one in the pic) and it was very yummy!! Also I have had no afternoon cravings at all so a few extra propoints saved for a glass of wine tonight :-)
