I don’t like to eat at work. If i do eat its usually a little junk food. Haribo gummis are a fave

I prepare at home for lunch: yogurt, fresh berries, trail mix, espresso and a peanut butter cup. Every day.

too broke to eat out that often. its ~$10->$18 for lunch here. west coast. i cook dinners for 4-6 so my partner and i can take lunch.

Neither. I try not to eat while I’m at work. They sell all the junk food at work, so it can be difficult to not give in to temptation. I might indulge in a couple of uncrustables each night, but that’s fine with me.

I have a fridge at work, so I just shop separately for groceries there. I usually make my own salads, but some weeks I shift to sandwiches or soups.

I quite enjoy getting out of the office for an hour each day and fortunately have several places to eat within easy walking distance.

Pack if it’s an overtime day. Usually just bring water and coffee though. I have too many allergies and dietary restrictions to safely eat out

I used to pack sandwiches but I got spoilt by my old break room having a toaster oven. So eating a cold sandwich in freezing temps really isn’t the move for winter. It’s also the meal where I don’t have to consider my wife’s vegetarian preferences. So I eat out often right now depending on what leftovers are at home.

Both. I pack a lunch and eat my wife out. The real question is hotter long it took me to learn how to make a sandwich on her stomach when I can’t see what I’m doing.

Horrible joke aside, I don’t work any more, so it’s neither. But, back when I was working I vastly preferred to make my own. Wasn’t always possible, depending on which job I was doing and where it was being done.

When you’re driving all over three counties seeing patients, it isn’t realistic to bring food that’s worth eating. Same when you’re at a bar as a bouncer. It isn’t that you can’t bring food along, you’re just very limited in what you can reliably keep at safe temps and not have it go missing. So it’s more useful to just eat whatever you can grab.

But, if I was doing longer shifts with single patients, it was part of the agreement that any caregivers can store their own food within reason. So, I could bring in a proper lunch that was healthy.

At the one club, the staff room had a fridge that the boss had put a camera on, so nobody would fuck with your stuff. Other places, not so much lol.

I pack when I’m in going to be in the office and I keep a few cans of soup in my desk in case I forget. If I’m off site, I’ll expense something nearby. If I’m working from home I’ll usually make a salad or sandwich there.

I almost always bring lunch, but it seems I’m in the minority wherever I work.

Pack . Way too expensive to eat from a vending machine or even to eat out

Both/either. Sometimes I meal plan but usually if a recent meal had enough leftovers I’ll do that. Also we can walk to get food or drive about 10-15 min

My employer makes food and provides snacks for the clients. Often there are leftovers, or enough to feed staff as well. We have fridges for storing that, and cold snacks. As well as separate countertop snack areas. Ideally it’s all for the clients, but we’re permitted to snack while working.
