Nothing beats cooking. But otherwise, recommend Halal trucks. I personally love them. Otherwise, I get Cava, Chipotle, or Subway and split it into 2 meals. If you pack up half in another container before you start eating, it's a lot easier to stop yourself / not feel like you're missing out on a full meal. These choices keep well for another day or 2!

Bring lunch when I can and go for local salad places when cannot.

What neighborhood do you work in?

Find a deli usually $4-6 a sandwich

Buy some bagged greens mix from the grocery store for $3
Buy some dressing or chicken or something if you’re splurging

I make dinner the night before. On Sunday I’ll boil lots of eggs (I eat them hard boiled for breakfast) and then I’ll maybe make a big batch of egg salad or tuna so sandwiches are quick to make. I started doing this my first year out of school because I got an apartment I could hardly afford so I compromised by not eating lunch out. It’s been an amazing decision. Over 15 years have saved a ton of money and bonus - not gained weight. So hard to eat healthy lunch out

$10 for cava or fast food. Food trucks can help

Hello fine people,
I have a question. I am a GDS employee wishing to relocate to another country as EY country “x” employee. The plan to relocate to country x was already in motion, if not EY then another org. The EY partner from country x is very interested in having me join their team but not sure about my GDS partner because they will be losing billing and may not like it. Is there a way I can approach this with my leaders? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
