Office Eating

[JKurz1]

Anyone have a desk job and still manage to eat every couple of hours WITHOUT disrupting the whole place using the microwave or blending shakes? What do your meals look like? I do have access to a fridge and microwave, but if I don't have to use it, I'd rather not......much karma......stats too would be great and training regimine.....

Yup its tough, and is either expensive or takes a lot of preperation. I get by by making stuff up at home, and too many MRP's, but its working...

LOL

This thread looks VERY familiar. I thought he edited it to bump it back up

Anyway, I have an office job and what I normally do is cook over the weekend an asortment of meals as well as the night before work and bag everything seperately. I keep my shakes to post workout whenewver possible and I get a lot of veggies in bags to take to work to nibble on. If you plan everything you want to do, you won't have any problems. It's when you "wing it" is when you'll get into circumstances where you'll skip a meal or eat poorly, IMO

keep a jug of protein at work with a shaker - i can't imagine that's too disruptive??

Yep...protein and a shaker is so easy when you are at work. Nobody even knows that you are making a meal up. I usually make up a couple chicken breasts at a time and them put them together with some vegetables in glad containers and then just throw them in the microwave at work. The people that I work with pretty much know my routine, so it doesn't bother them...at least I don't think it does! he he...

My office is in the back so it doesnt disrupt anyone.
I just have a huge soft igloo type thing that I bring with food in it that I spent all day sunday making.

Cook most of your meals on the weekend and place in tupperware containers. Using the microwave shouldn't disrupt your workplace.

As for shakes, better to eat real food anway and we don't have a blender here at work. Besides, the only time I need a shake is when I take my whey protein after workouts and I do that at home.

Fortunately, no one cares that I go down to the fridge to retrieve my food every 2-3 hours because I always get my work done and I never leave a mess.

OK...my fault....I am well aware of HOW to eat....guess my question should have been....what are some good suggestions for meal? I do use MRP, but really enjoy them with ice which is gonna be hard with no freezer.......

Just put the MRP in a shaker and get some water from the water fountain. Also, I cook a box of brown rice and some yams in one day and break them into individual containers. Then add chicken breasts, lean beef, pork chops, whatever you want. Normally the microwave is in a break room anyhow, not on your desk.
