Taking your lunch to work is depressing AF srs

[MetroBrah]

I can't believe people do this on a regular basis. I haven't left the office today. Feels like chit srs

Buying food every day is too expensive in most cities.

[maori-rap]

I do this as standard. I make sandwiches in the morning, add boiled eggs and fruit, then watch in front of the canteen TV at lunchtime.

On occasion I will buy a hot meal (not top notch cuisine but good value) or a large baguette. It is just so much cheaper to take in your own nutrients.

Get on that OMAD time son. I spend my lunch hour sitting in my truck playing guitar, cleaning guns, listening to music and just doing whatever I feel like. Its very liberating to not have to worry about fixing lunch at home or having to go get some real quick at some chitty fast food place

[bsmit107]

Eat lunch at desk at 11:45
Spend an hour doing whatever you want during lunch break.

even better.....on the IF time....no need for food during the workday.

[Aristotelian]

I usually work out during my lunch break and honestly bringing lunch to work is GOAT for gains. Depends on your office or location though - I like sitting outside or somewhere nice to eat.

Been packing my lunch to work for like 5 years now. Hnnnng quality meals without having to hunt down menus to find items with decent macro ratios, and significantly cheaper than eating out every day. Usually costs me about $20 to prepare 5 lunches for the week, I would be spending 3× that per week easily to eat out every day instead.

And side bonus is that I get a 15-20 minute nap in while everybody else is just getting back to the building with their food...

Not when you take it in a Power Rangers lunchbox!

[AltarOfPlagues]

fukkin ham and cheese sandwich and a la croix out the break room have me ready to commit that

[Malnourishment]

It's like 1/5th the price and 5x healthier to eat your meal prep but m'kay op.

[DesiredUserphag]

Sometimes I do but regardless, I always take an hour break or so usually because I can. Staying in your office for 8 hours straight is AIDS. Gotta get away for a while during the middle of it.

[Titansfan08]

Go workout on my lunch, go back to my house, eat, back to office. Usually get it all done in hour and half. All 3 are in like a 5 min radius

[LethalGunz34]

Can’t talk.

[jk202]

Lol at wasting an extra hour at lunch to go out to eat.

Lol at lunchhourcels

At work exactly 8 hrs a day and I'm out crew. Includes eating 3 x at my desk, otd by 1 pm

[Silencespeaks]

Agreed op.

Have never done that and will never.

Just the thought of carrying food around with you and smelling it etc is so gross.

Yes, and never in my life had an issue with this. Always properly package and refrigerate cooked foods and they stay good. I've accidentally eaten stuff that was over a week old before and never gotten any ill effect from it.

Also, if that bothers you then cook on Sunday then again on Wednesday ya fukkin R-tard. It's meal prep, not rocket surgery...

You still have to carry it from home in your car to work and then in the work fridge with other peoples gross stuff.

You’re eating decaying food. Check the guidelines most food is only good like 2-3 days.

If you work in a place where hygiene inside office refrigeration is an issue, I'd say that you (as a 50 year old), must have made some awful life choices.

Either way you're a 'can't cook won't cook' type person, so you don't really seem to understand the value of it.

*Insert eye roll here*

The FDA also recommends that the majority of your daily calories should come from grains and fruits. Are you dense enough to believe that wholeheartedly as well?

[BrightThru2014]

Legitimately don't understand why people don't do IIFYM or OMAD and lifting during their lunch. So much more efficient as a way to break up the day.

[zknarc]

Tfw you work on some industrial estate and leaving during lunch is totally pointless.

[Pumpinmirin]
