what do you take for lunch at work?

Dave**** · 13 May 2010 at 12:37

Today is BMT sub day at subway. That's where I go on Thursdays.

Other days I normally go to Skeggs and get 2x Sausage Rolls. No, I do not eat healthy food.

Sunday night = roast a chicken and a shed load of wild rice / couscous and broccoli, then make a tomato salsa.

I then divide the above into five tupperware containers and freeze for the working week, ready to be microwaved for lunch.

Snacks comprise apples.

23p pot noodle and a banana.

I work late afternoon till night so have late lunch / late dinner at home. Usually eat out 3 times per day here - some sort of curry/rice/chicken combination usually.

If I can't be bothered to go out, Nandos delivery !

i have a big box of pasta with pork belly, NOM NOM NOM

Ready meals usually with an apple and maybe crisps.

Some people spend their entire lunch cooking and setting out meals which I think is a bit nuts for work.

Greggs or tesco sandwich

I take my wallet.

Lunch can end up being anything from two hours at the pub, a quick snack from a supermarket, a meal from a "posh" country pub, junk-food, or whatever takes our fancy that day.

MowyTone · 13 May 2010 at 13:05

normally get a sandwitch and a pasta pot/sausage roll from asda across the road. Failing that there are 3 pubs close by

(one does a rump steak meal for £5)

I take eat the following:

Main lunch = Salad consisting of: Big lump of chicken, chick peas, olive oil, yogurt, and a ton of veg, usually along the lines of cucumber, pepper tomato, carrots, mushrooms, onions, etc

Snacks:
Apple
Banana
Big pile of brazil nuts
Big pile of raisins
Protein shake consisting of; whey, oats, cinamon and milk

And I still get hungry during the day

Coronation chicken + salad (lettuce, peppers, onions)

Or just grilled chicken with the salad + coleslaw.

That's because you need to eat more

I know, I'm trying to eat more but I'll end up bringing in half a kitchen on my bike in the morning!

I've changed gyms and am now going to the gym in the morning rather than evening and I havn't really changed my eating pattern too much which doesn't help. I'll work something out soon and get settled back into a routine.

Fireskull · 13 May 2010 at 13:53

We get a cooked meal at work mon,wed,friday, and its either a soup and food or food and desert.

For tuesdays I get a subway sub of the day

and on thursdays I get a boots meal deal.

And I try and have apple banana and some raisins everyday too.

Guest2 · 13 May 2010 at 14:04

I generally go to a tesco metro and spend around £2.50 on a sandwich or pack of turkey/chicken for £1.50 and a couple of rolls. However now I have got bored of bread after having rolls everyday for 2 weeks. I used to get a packet of salad to go with chicken and bransons chilli and japapeno relish

Today I had riveta crackers and some type of goats cheese that was reduced to £1. Suprisingly it was really nice and filling too. Only £1.40 and will last me 2 days and still got loads of crackers.

I always get fruit - apple usually

Work always has loads of border biscuits and mini twix, buttons, haribo etc for free. That is my pitfall!

Friday I will go out for a meal somewhere in town

burtie · 13 May 2010 at 14:09

Stir fry vegetables with wholemeal rice and some quorn sausages. Apple and orange for afters.

Frenzy · 13 May 2010 at 14:13

White bread roll
two slices of thick cheese

Smit · 13 May 2010 at 14:16

I usually go out for lunch so don't bring anything with me, but on the odd occasion I do bring something in, it is usually some tuna with mayo
Thinking of taking stovies in with me on Monday though
