Hi My names Toya. I live in London UK and am working online selling products, blogging and writing reviews and articles like at Hub Pages.

What Do You Want To Eat For Lunch?

First of all what do you feel like eating? Every day is different and you may want to eat different kinds of foods on certain days. For example, what you eat varies in hot and cold weather and also depends on what time of day it is and how hungry you are.

You may only want to eat a light meal at lunch or sone prefer a heavier more filling lunch meal. There are so many different options on what dishes to eat for lunch that it really depends on what you feel like eating and what your budget is.

Lunch may be a social event, a business lunch, a lunch with family or friends or a family lunch at home.

What you eat and how you eat your lunch depends on who you're with and where you're going!

How about takeaways and fast food?

Would you eat it?

How about a Pizza, Kebab, or Chicken and Chips?

Fast food is a lot more health conscious nowadays and you can get low fat options for most fast food dishes. For example, MacDonalds lists the nutritional values in their burgers and Chicken and Chips are usually cooked in vegetable oil.

You may like to opt for a counter meal, for example Yo Sushi has sushi on the go. You just choose your plate and then count the plates for the price.
