When I stopped nursing and started WW, I bring in Lean Cuisines, leftovers, fruit, and yogurt. dookie32 on "do you bring a lunch to work?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-lunch-to-work#post-1094374 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:23:51 +0000 dookie32 1094374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Always. I don't have time to make anything and it would be so expensive to buy lunch (I work in downtown Chicago). I usually bring a Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice and Greek yogurt.

I used to go out every day, but needed to cut back - I was wasting so much money! Now I bring leftovers, or salad/fruit 4 days a week, and then go out with co-workers 1 day each week.

Use to be sandwiches almost every day. Now we've been trying to make leftovers so a lot of chicken sausage or meatballs with brown rice.

It's usually leftovers. If something we eat for dinner makes for a good leftover lunch, we make extra. I also bring cut up fruit and veggies (we cut up a ton for the week on Sunday afternoons) Greek yogurt, and packets of almonds. We have a Weight Watchers cafeteria at work so sometimes I will buy a lunch though.

I think I can count on one hand the times I have bought my lunch since January. I usually bring leftovers, salads, sandwiches, or a frozen meal (lean cuisine, lean pocket w/salad, etc). I also bring some snacks with me: string cheese, yogurt, crackers, rice cakes, etc. petunia354 on "do you bring a lunch to work?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-lunch-to-work#post-1094178 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 08:16:50 +0000 petunia354 1094178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Every. Single. Day. Either a stuffed pepper or some cottage cheese/yogurt/fruit/veggies for me and a sandwich/leftovers for DH! blackbird on "do you bring a lunch to work?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-lunch-to-work#post-1094109 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:43:55 +0000 blackbird 1094109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ almost always! It's always leftovers.

The last few weeks though I've totally fallen off the wagon and have been leaving work to go grab something. Getting away from work has been awesome, and I really don't do much else (like, seriously, I'm not a shopper, we really don't go to games/movies/events...I pretty much just like food) so I justify the 5-8 buck cost that way. ;) Omnomnom. looch on "do you bring a lunch to work?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-lunch-to-work#post-1094100 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:36:51 +0000 looch 1094100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope...I can buy a healthy lunch for less money and effort during the week. bushelandapeck on "do you bring a lunch to work?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-lunch-to-work#post-1094073 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:20:14 +0000 bushelandapeck 1094073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When I worked full time before DS was born, I brought my lunch every day. Now that I'm only working 2 days/week I can't seem to get it together enough ot make lunch. So lame!

Works pretty well. artsyfartsy on "do you bring a lunch to work?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-lunch-to-work#post-1094043 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:08:37 +0000 artsyfartsy 1094043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MsLipGloss: @Kimberlybee: It is! He loves to cook so he doesn't mind. He also doesn't have any other option for lunch unless he brings something from home, so he just doubles it.

I usually graze during the day, which works well since I'm pregnant. Yogurt, granola, fruit, baby carrots, trail mix, etc. basically snacks all day long!

Sometimes its leftovers but usually it's a lean cuisine. I will make turkey or peanut butter sandwiches and then bring like a granola bar, yogurt, or some baked chips with it. I will occasionally bring baked potatoes since they're easy to just microwave. I do keep a stash of cup o noodles in my office in case I forget lunch.

Usually we've been cooking a big meal on Sundays and I pack lunch with the leftovers for M-Th and then either go out on Friday or pack another leftover meal from during the week. artsyfartsy on "do you bring a lunch to work?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-lunch-to-work#post-1093612 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 20:43:58 +0000 artsyfartsy 1093612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My husband packs my lunch.

Thaw a few frozen meatballs on a bun or rolls with sauce and some mozzarella or provalone cheese. Packets of instant cheese grits with a microwaved black bean patty. Homemade burrito with frozen black bean patty and fixings (I usually have salsa, sour cream, cheese, lettuce on hand). regberadaisy on "do you bring a lunch to work?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-lunch-to-work#post-1093589 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 20:32:31 +0000 regberadaisy 1093589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Almost every day.

I also try to cut up fruits or veggies as soon as I buy them & put them in ziploc bags to pack for lunch. It saves time in the long run & helps us to eat healthier! ;) Chocoholic on "do you bring a lunch to work?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bring-a-lunch-to-work#post-1093548 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 20:11:48 +0000 Chocoholic 1093548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Everyday!
