Not necessarily law-related, but what do y’all bring to the office for healthy-ish lunches? I’m running out of ideas...

Bagged salad mixes and premade soups from the deli section. I watch for sugar content in both when I buy, but they are otherwise relatively healthy and super easy.

I like making a quiche on Sunday and pairing a small piece with a boatload of veggies for lunches!

Haven’t been to the office for a loooong time but not pre-making healthy lunches is definitely one of the reasons I’ve gained weight this last year.

When I was pre-making my lunch, I’d often batch out a big kale salad on Sunday with roasted veg, lean white meat (pork chops are great), and a bit of goat cheese or feta. Or a smoothie in a blender ball bottle so I could keep it in the fridge and shake it up before lunch.

like

An avocado, whole wheat bread, apple, peanut butter, hummus, and carrots. All the fruits and veggies will make you feel energized (note, I am not a vegetarian, but this combo requires no cooking at home!)

I tend to make avocado toast (I keep Cajun seasoning here for the avocado) with an apple for lunch, and then I have carrots and hummus for a mid afternoon snack. If I’m extra hungry or if the avocado is bad, I’ll add in the peanut butter for the toast or with the apple.

Carrots and hummus are great because I can just leave it in the firm fridge so it’s there when I want it.

Recipe please!!!

My office has a subsidized cafeteria that is honestly cheaper than making my own food from home (I live in nyc and you can get like a grilled salmon salad from the office cafe for about $5). Only problem with this is if I’m stressed I go for something unhealthy instead of the salad so thinking about bringing my own lunch anyway

I either make extras for dinner and bring it the next day or pack a DIY lunchable with deli meat/rotisserie chicken, cheese, crackers or pita, veggies and hummus. You can always switch it up so you don’t get sick of it!

(1) Protein, veggies, healthy carb or (2) protein and veggie.

The possibilities are endless if you follow this formula. This week I’m dining on grilled chicken thighs and green beans. My carbs for this week are fruit.

I just bring a protein plus veggies. Salad with chicken or steak or pork, fajita veggies with chicken or steak, taco salads, and nuts/cheese/hard boiled eggs for snacks. If you have a fridge you can keep things in at work, I tend to keep hot sauce and dressing there to make it easy. I also have a Sweetgreen across from my office when I get lazy.

I love garbanzo beans and other cut up veggies. It can hold salad dressing all day without getting soggy.

I quit. I was respectful. Thankfully, every person I have told has been so nice, and I wasn't immediately bounced out by my leadership (which has happened), but I have been surprised by my own bittersweet tears. If they actually cared, why didn't they say so sooner? I gave so much, and I was consumed by this organization. I invested in them, but my investment and dedication were not reciprocated, which is why I ever even entertained leaving. I don't know why it hurts, but it really, really does.
