Lunches while at work- How important to get it right?

[Sharpy92]

Starting a new job in the next few days where there isn't lunch provided. Back to the old pack up for me! As its going to be a physical job, how important do you reckon it is to have a healthy balance pack lunch? Any suggestions and what works for other people?

Many thanks!

When I wuz on the tools, "back in the day" , it would always be pasta n chicken or tuna with a pinta (milk) to wash it down.

 

Worked fer me...but now a lettuce sandwich to help me "push the pen."

 

Cheers, n eat well..

Our company spent over 7k on feeding it's employees last financial year.

I find a decent 3/4 course restaurant lunch (wine optional) motivational, bonding and when the weather is against us gives an essential break.

We eat a healthy balanced and substantial meal most working days in the warm and dry.

I pity those who huddle 3 to a transit cab on wet Winters days...

I can't stand those 2 hour 5 course lunches in restaurants, I'm never that hungry and I'd rather have a short break, finish the job and go home.

(Like today, home in time for the cycling)

Lunch should most definately be light. However, a lot of people can't stomach the "breakfast like a king" before starting work i.e. pre 8am so need to fix something at 10. If this isn't possible, don't eat after 7pm the night before.

Eating at work is very important and has a massive effect on energy levels. Breakfast is also important. I'm one of the ones who can't stomach a big breakfast first thing, but I can handle a big smoothie full of fruits, spinach, raw eggs and almond milk.
