Eating in Work?

[cezza30]

I've recently started a new job after having been at home for months where I was able to prepare meals / eat whatever I liked. Now that I'm working I've obviously got to prepare my food in advance and eat it in the office. Last night I made turkey burgers, and I can buy some stuff in work (like salads, some fish, sometimes chicken). I'd rather avoid eating the stuff they sell though as I can't be sure how they cook everything, but it's there if necessary.

Anyway, my question...... what kinda things do you take to work that can be eaten cold? Just hoping for a little variation rather than eating turkey burgers and bits of chicken everyday.

Thanks for any suggestions anyone can give x

Can you cook sweet/potatoes & eat them cold?
Salads are good... chicken cold really doesn't make a different ..
Apples & walnuts/almonds?
Peanut butter?
Tuna?


No heating up of foods? i.e. micro?

Today I took a turkey burger to eat mid morning, then I had some fish and salad for lunch, almonds mid afternoon then ate when I came home this evening. I didn't think of cooking potatoes and eating them cold, and there's cold rice too. I think the problem I was thinking of was how to avoid the food being too dry.

I was also wondering about protein shakes in work but I think I've just solved that by discovering that it's actually quite pleasant to mix chocolate protein powder into fat free greek yoghurt, that's nice and easy for in work

There is a microwave but it looks like it hasn't been cleaned in about a million years, don't know what might start growing on my food for the few minutes it's in there!!

One thing I have noticed since being in an office is the amount of water I drink has probably quadrupled. I think it's the air conditioning, but it might be that I'm so bored drinking for a few seconds seems interesting

And thanks!! It's not that amazing a job, incredibly boring but I think I'd find most office jobs boring! Beats sitting at home and watching daytime tv all day long, well just

Fat free cottage cheese is a good choice for cold food. You can choose to eat it plain, or eat it with fruit like blackberries. Not to mention it's got a good level of protein in it.
