What do you take for lunch?

[rever3nce]

HI ,
I just want to ask, What does everyone here buy or take to lunch? I work in a mall and usually I buy food before going into work and during lunch. I'm tired of wasting money twice a day on fast food and thats all I eat. For new years im going to try and avoid just eating out all the time.

I still live here at home, but I do NOT cook and neither do my parents much lol. I tried buying groceries but for one , I don't know how to cook anything besides microwavable stuff haha and two its usually not enough to "fill me up" if I buy like sandwiches or Hot pockets with chips.

So what do ya'll eat or buy for groceries?

THANKS!

There is a deli near my house that makes THE BEST Reuben sandwiches (corned beef or pastrami) and soup. I usually stop there for lunch every day after my morning and lunch trip to Starbucks for morning coffee and lunch shaken iced tea.

 

[praetorx]

Whatever I prepare a day before. I avoid eating out because of the chemicals they put in food.

ok lets try this.

What are good/healthy places?

I know maybe like subway, there is this awesome place called Sarku Japan. usually get chicken and steamed rice.

name some others??

I don't take anything with me, because my journey to work is about 1.5 hours in length and any food I took would be spoiled by the time I got there.

And the office fridge, well, I dare not open the door of that thing without a gas-mask.

I like to get some sort of toasted sandwich type thing on pana di casa made fresh by one of the local cafés.

I usually make extra of what I make for dinner and bring it for lunch.

I hate to break it to you but those places are not healthy.

I usually pack my lunch. Sandwhich and some greens, or left overs. Tacos are a favorite and pretty easy.

I've always just gone for Boots Meal Deals. I only have to travel one day a week so it's not expensive.

I pack a nourishing lunch of pate de foie gras, a 1oz. jar of beluga caviar, toast points, and 1/2 guinea hen. Delicious! Very nutritious.

Just wondering, do you think my diet may have had anything to do with those 6 heart attacks I had?

... a 1oz. jar of beluga caviar ...

Mmmmmm, morgue caviar.

 

[Shrink]

Mmmmmm, morgue caviar.

Who cares where they keep it cool - 84 lbs of Beluga - now that's a party!!

The heck with the salmon caviar. If your going to do it - go for the good stuff.

Only one ounce of beluga caviar? Well I guess it is a recession and all...

Me and my roommate take turns making supper. The rule is to make enough for 4 servings, so that we can have some for lunch the following day.

Well, there is that.

And, really, it's only lunch. No one asked about my healthful dinner.

Paleo Lunch

Chicken breast
Spinach
Mixed veggie stir "fry" with homemade tomato sauce

I throw in the frozen piece of chicken in the toaster oven at 350f for 45 mins; make the veggies in batches and keep in the fridge and dish out the night before. I make the sauce in big batches on a monthly basis keeps pretty well given the high acid content. keep it simple.

Edit:
If you are looking for places to eat out for lunch I would suggest chipotle (actually that sounds good for lunch today)

 

[firestarter]

OP - learn to cook!

Or at least learn how to make a sandwich. That can't be too difficult!!

You can buy cooked meats, bread, pre-made salad at the supermarket. You don't have to be Gordon Ramsay to throw that together into a lunch.

Which kind? Mini, iMac, how 'bout an Air? That last one has potential.

No, but it taste so much better wouldn't it!

I work from home but when I didn't I would either take the previous night's leftovers, a sandwich, salad or a simple pasta.

Chipotle is hardly healthy.

 

[EricNau]

Pasta is very easy to bring for lunch.

Occasionally if I have leftover chili I'll bring chili mac (literally just chili, macaroni, and cheese).

Or I'll bring rice, beans, tomato, etc. and tortilla chips for a taco salad.

Or I loves me an avocado, hummus, and cheese sandwich on sourdough.

Cheez-Its are always a necessary component. I get them in bulk too.

I always happen to get free fruit from others.

Those are great. I like the Fruit & Nut one.

I keep a few in the car, in case I have to fly out the door in the morning.

For lunch during the week, I usually just have 1 sandwich and some moo.

Either here, on in a travel pouch with a freezer thingie.
