My fellow 9-5ers, what do you bring to work for lunch?

I've been trying to "eat clean" again so I cook my meals the Sunday before. But I work at 5 a.m and I also eat every 2-4 hrs so I bring:

-Cereal x milk for breakfast

-trail mix or fruit for snacks

-the chicken/starch/veggies combo for 'lunch'

Get home by 1:30 so I'm gucci until dinner usually.

Good stuff, man. Not trying to tell you what to do, but you can probably lean that out a bit, no pun intended.

Cereal: use some whole grain stuff, and not the kiddy stuff like Cocoa Puff (yes, I know they taste good!) and fat free milk.

Trail mix: make your own. Just cop some almonds, fruits, and mix yourself. Don't go nuts on the chocolate though.

Your lunch sounds good :smile:
 
Nothing. The job keeps the fridge and respective cabinets stocked with all the food a man could ask for. Couldn't be happier.

Oh yeah bro I'm way ahead of you lol:

Cereal-Honey Nut Cherios x Almond Milk

I opt for nut and fruit mixes but I definitely appreciate the advice!
 
I bring lunch 4x a week.

I cook dinner for myself at night anyway, so I just make a little extra to pack for lunch.

Most consists of a boiled potato, some sort of protein, and perhaps a bag of carrots/celeries.

Also have some peanut butter and cereal in my desk drawer for whenever hunger strikes.
 
bring lunch 4x a week, usually a sandwich, chips, and fruit ( prepped mango with Tachin the night before). 

i eat out once a week , do chicken strips and fries from a local spot or hit Costco up. 

my daily breakdown:

eat cereal on my way to work, yes i eat out of a cup haha

snack at work is usually a granola bar and a sugar free red bull 

lunch is the sando, chips and fruit. drink plenty of water throughout the day too

dinner at home is usually rice, chicken breast or pasta and a portion of veggies.

my rice steamer is my best friend haha ( im not asian btw) 
 
Been eating out for lunch everyday. I feel like with the effort I put into my work, the least I could do is treat myself to a nice meal everyday. Sure, I could save a few bucks here and there, but the pleasure from eating good food is more satisfying. And sure, eating out is less healthy, but I work out and hoop almost daily so that's not an issue. Doesn't help that I don't cook either.

I hate leftovers. how can yall eat the same thing twice in a 12hr span? its usually not as good as it was freshly made either. and dudes making the same meal for a whole week? idk how yall do it

basically everything you said. can't keep eating the same thing day after day. definitely not leftovers either.
sucks because it means i have to mix it up daily, which becomes pretty costly.
 
when you work in an office it is so hard to bring lunch because someone is always ordering out. i try to be good and im ok if i cook dinner the night before and bring leftovers 
 
i try to cook every sat or sunday. since i work 6-2. i bring 2 snacks and lunch from the meals i cook on weekends. the galley here sucks and is SOOO expensive. I have forced myself to cut back on my fastfood intake.

i usually just eat a big breakfast, i am normally just working 4hr shifts, smh PT retail.
But on days i work 7hr or more I just grab something from the mall or have one of the mall chicks bring me something. (if i can manage) 
 
I eat leftovers from dinners and bring a jug of water and snacks...I'm never hungry or thirsty at work
 
Cold cut sandwiches or left over from the night before cooking. Every once in a while do I go out to lunch to eat. Waste too much money on lunch, adds up quickly.

I bring my lunch to work everyday. Generally its just leftovers from the night before.

Went to dinner last night so no leftovers :-(
so i got a reall struggle meal of brown rice, kale, and beef hotdogs.

(kinda addicted to these oscar meyer beef hotdogs...no funny business)
 
I buy lunch everyday almost and sometimes breakfast too.

I work with this big fat Greek dude who's always talking about what we getting to eat.

Story of my life, bro. I try to bring in a sandwich or leftovers every week, and I'm focused until about 11am until these fools bust out that menu folder :smh:

Got a whole bunch of Tupperware with old food in the fridge right now that I should clean out :lol:
