I did see your post on this, and my mother and MIL actually both do intermittent fasting. It won't work for me, though. I'd fall on my face. I need food to keep me going. As I said, I'm on my feet all day.

I keep oatmeal packets and protein bars and string cheese at work for those days I didn't manage to get my life together.
Lunchs that I've found work well: pasta and cottage cheese; cold cheese/cream cheese sandwich; sushi salad (rice, cut up veggies and fish- generally leftovers); dinner leftovers like shnitzel that's decent cold. I make whole wheat pancakes or muffins that I keep in the freezer. If I grab it in the morning it's defrosted by 10 or so. |
We actually did whole wheat muffins and cookies for a while, but I found that I used to snack on them too much at home. If I left them at work, I'd forget about them!

I bought the most amazing thing for my office. A small crock pot lunch warmer - one for meat and one for dairy. It doesnt cook, just heats. I plug it into an outlet by my desk about 1.5 hours before I want to eat. Its perfect for heating pasta, salmon/roasted veg/rice all together, I want. I keep a stock of frozen Tabachnik soup at home and when I have nothing to grab, I take one of those. I hate being fleishing in the middle of the day so deli wont work for me, But I use my meat lunch warmer to heat up psr but I use my needs to heat up pareve vegetable soup that I made in a meat pot, etc.
This thing saved my life at work. |
It sounds perfect for someone who has her own space. Unfortunately, I don't have that.

Once again, no space of my own. I can't take the chance that one of the non-Jews would use it without my knowledge.
