What does everyone eat for lunch ?

Its always a headache for me with figuring out what I want

I dont like buying food everyday it gets rather expensive but I dont want to bring the same thing from home each day either

I would buy lunch meat and stuff but thats not really healthy to eat all the time

I need ideas !!

    I usually buy lunch once, maybe twice a week... Other days I bring leftovers or make a sandwich.

    Yeah.I do the leftovers deal too

    We usually dont always have much leftover just my Wife and I

    I guess I could start making more at dinner time to bring

    im a big fan of soup .. put it in a thermos so it stays warm til lunch, and have some fresh fruits and veggies on the side.
    never been a big fan of sandwiches, but i do like tuna or chicken salad on crackers too.

    That's what we do, we make extras for lunch.

    Usually, I'll bring something that is like the "main course", and then I'll pack some other things, like some snacks. Here are some things I bring that might give you an idea:

    fruits
    veggies (raw or cooked), cooking some rice and flavoring it is never a bad idea. last night we made brown rice with roasted pine nuts...my god.
    crackers
    hummus
    cookies
    cheese
    peanut butter/jelly sandwich
    etc...
    and fruit snacks are actually damn good too!

    ..my girlfriend says I eat like a 5 year old. :oops:

    i ALWAYS bring my lunch from home. always.
    however, i really don't mix it up all that much, tho i do change it up some by the seasons....and i eat a variety of things at lunch and snacks at work, all brought from home.

    my usual daily work menu:
    early morning at desk - banana or clementine
    late morning - kashi granola bar
    lunch - nuts (usually almonds or sunflower seeds)
    - salad (summer: usually homemade thai cucumber salad, rest of the year, mixed greens, sometimes with chicken, or black olives, different dressings, etc) or in winter, usually soup and rarely, a sandwich
    - berries (usually a mix of blueberries, blackberries & raspberries)
    - piece of cheese (usually pepper jack, or gouda)
    - sometimes crackers
    - occasionally SF jello or pudding
    mid-afternoon - red grapes or clementine

    i find eating like this keeps me energized, full but never stuffed....and sure, get in a LOT of your daily dietary requirements. so try and think of smaller foods you can combine to make your meal, and also allows you to mix it up.

    bringing food from home definitely saves you $$$ and i also think is far healthier as you really control what and how much you eat.


    good luck!

    there is a guy who sits a few cubes down from me that eats the same lunch everyfuckin'day !

    carrots, and some sort of sandwhich. i say some sort of sandwhich because there is so little of whatever it is on the thing that it looks like two pieces of bread. i just cant do that. i would rather eat nothing than the same thing day after day.

    anyway, i eat a lot ( of different ) soups.

    but i usually skip lunch at least twice a week.
    Peace, Love.

    yeah, I usually go out on thurs or friday, more so to relax and get out of the office

    salads are the easiest thing to make, keep a bottle of dressing at work
