I'd like to have ideas of lunches that is good on a Weight Watchers diet. I grew up on sandwiches. Also I really don't like to spend alot of time in the kitchen preparing meals.

I don't follow the WW plan so I can't tell you how these fit in. But they are some lighter sandwich ideas to get you started.
