What do you eat for lunch?

Lunch breaks, HA! What are those??? Lol.

Most days I run to the local grocery store and make a salad at the salad bar. Veggies and proteins. Might pick up some wings or something from the hot food section too. (Eat a few and save the rest for another day).
Our whole foods always has tons of hot food to choose from but it gets expensive.
Then bring back to my office and eat at my desk. Gone for a whole 15 mins.
But sometimes I go for a run first, and then take a shower. So my lunch turns into 1.5-2 hours.

The days of eating various fast food for lunch are long gone. So are the extra lbs.
I also keep some healthy snacks at my desk or in the office fridge.

Have thought about intermittent fasting? You can do a 16:8. No eating for 16 (black coffee, tea, water ok) and then eat for 8.
If you stopped eating at 8pm, sleep, skip breakfast, all you have to do is make it to lunch. Meanwhile your body has been burning stored fat.
Will help suck up some of those extra calories from the fast food meals, which you should cut down on.
I started doing this recently. It's pretty easy since you are sleeping through most of it, and it actually works. I've been plateaued on my weight loss for a while now and it's kicked off a few lbs already.
Still try to eat healthy though.

I would be so weak i would fall off a ladder and break my neck Or worse.

I stop home for lunch and eat a can of tuna while staring into the tank. I hate tuna . Just to let em know who's boss.

I will usually have a salad with a cup of coffee and a yogurt. I'm on a diet trying to loose weight. Started out at 252 lbs I'm now down to 195 lbs made a complete lifestyle change that I intend on continuing indefinitely to loose and maintain my weight

Yeah, I hear ya... I thought so too, but I bet you get used to it.
I ate bacon and eggs every single morning for years (I eat low carb/high protein). Usually worked out right before. Then a small mid morning snack sometimes. Or some days I run before lunch.
Now I can roll out of bed at 5:30, workout and then not eat till 1pm. Or wake at 6, run 4 miles at noon in 95 degree heat and eat at 1pm.
My body is still getting the energy it needs, just not from recently consumed food. It's using stored energy.
It's a mind thing.
What kills me is I never drank black coffee. I like it light and sweet! But I'm getting used to that too.

It's not for everyone though. Everybody's different.
And I am sitting at a desk all morning. I have to be creative and solve problems all morning but it's not physically strenuous.
Don't know how I'd feel if I was in construction or something.

you should try ramen, either the microwaveable kind or you could bring a thermos of the stuff. There is so many different types too that you’ll never get bored.

Hey now, you stop home sometimes and I always offer to make you something

My sister is in Japan right now, she's in the Marines, and she sends me snapchats all the time of the different ways they make ramen over there. Its insane!

It all depends on the person. My mother would probably die if she fasted. Her blood sugar is down to 60 in the mornings so she has to eat something.

I try to bring the previous nights leftovers to lunch. I hate fast food and have only half hour lunch.

So, it’s fun to watch my co-workers watch me pull out a dinner plate and heat up a BBQ’d pork steak smothered in sweet baby rays with a baker on the side! Lol Yum! ;Joyful

I brought a leftover ribeye to lunch one day and thought I was going to have a situation with some very jealous coworkers with their lean cuisines on my hands ;Hilarious

It is the opposite at my work. Sometimes I get nauseous from the smells coming from the break room at lunch.

This'll probably sound weird, but if you eat potatoes, half a baked potato can liven up a lot of lunches. Chili is SO good over baked potato, salad is as well. They take 10 min in the microwave. I cook up a big batch of chili and freeze it in portions, then cook a potato in the microwave at work to go with it. Yummm!

I get very sleepy after eating potatoes, too many carbs without exercising afterwards haha
