I have just had lunch vs I have just had my lunch

These are both correct phrases, but they would be used in somewhat dissimilar contexts. 'I have just had lunch' is more general and can refer to any meal, while 'I have just had my lunch' is more specific and emphasizes the possession of the meal. The choice between them depends on the level of specificity you want to convey.
