What do you bring to work with you to eat - I.e. breakfast, lunch, snacks etc.

I'm looking for non fatening ideas that dont cost too much and dont have to be refrigerated or heated up.

Defy - can I come to your work!? that sounds awesome, im lucky if I have some dried fruit and pretzels!

I am terrible about this, and seem to always be running late in the am, so I try to keep the following in my office:
-pretzels
-dried fruit
-nuts
-peanut butter
-instant oatmeal
-granola bars

I’m pretty fussy about food but I also don’t want to stand in the kitchen to prepare every single meal! I also have a variety of kosher restaurants nearby but I’m cheap, so . . .

Breakfast is yogurt and coffee. I keep granola bars and cereal at work if I get really hungry.
Lunch is salad – either a premade bag or leftover salad from diner. Sometimes I add leftovers from dinner like cut up chicken. Or I can add some tuna, some hard boiled eggs, etc.

I keep apples for snacks.

For emergencies, I keep diet soda in the fridge, w.w. pita bread in the freezer, and sliced cheese in the fridge. We have a microwave so I can nuke them if I’m out of salad.

cm ... all you need is sauce and spices and you got a pizza ...

I like to eat eggs for breakfast ... for lunch a yogurt fruit and granola are the quickest and lightest ... yesterday I was painting for somebody and it was hot outside ... I was starving like a big hungry man ... guzzeled a lot of water ...

but in general I get bored of the same foods over and over

Defy, YUM!

I keep a jar of Trader Joe's crunchy peanut butter in my desk along with either rice cakes or Wasa crackers. I eat peanut butter for lunch almost every day. After Pesach, I started low carb and I eat a piece of cheese for breakfast with my coffee; sometimes with a rice cake/sometimes w/o.

I've lost weight w/this peanut butter thing and what could be easier Smile It's healthy and yummy.

Do you make it in teh morning and eat it cold or make it at work? I only get full if I eat a sandwich for lunch so I am always looking for new ideas - I work in a non jewish place so I can't use the microwave Sad
