Hello fellow monkeys,
This probably sounds like a joke, but I'm 2 months into the job and I'm burning a hole in my wallet going out to buy lunch everyday. I want to try and bring lunch from home a few days a week. What do you guys do for lunch if you bring it from home?

I mainly bring my meals when I’m on a diet so mainly, salad and grilled chicken, protein bar, banana, grilled salmon (salad) etc.... you can bring anything. I have a colleague who would bring his wife cook and it smells horrible sometimes. Nothing specific but it’s what you like
You're bringing fish and yet you complain about other people's smelly food?
I do eat grilled chicken salad and salmon salad. I bet you're on the vegan diet, you must voted for Hillary too
For me, eating is about efficiency.
Most days I bring in steamed potatoes and steamed veggies from home, which I pressure-cook in the morning while I shower/shave/dress.
I also keep a bag of dry whole rolled oats under my desk, which I microwave for my dinner.
I also have a bottle of soy sauce that I add to the oats, and eat them savory.
I don't generally go out to eat because it's a waste of time, and food is not healthy.
Around here food is too oily, and also I'm plant-based so I don't eat animal product stuff, which what most food around here is.
I wish I could get salads around here, but there aren't any, really.
I'm always on the lookout for efficient plant-based recipes if anyone has suggestions.
god you sound lame
Soy sauce and oats sounds disgusting
Convinced you're a robot. And for love of god please stop formatting your posts like some LinkedIn life coach.

Intermittent fast until dinner -> eat a huge dinner on the late night meal budget /s
the most important thing about getting lunch is that you don't stand out. as an intern i used to get a rotisserie chicken everyday and stink up the entire office, i also eat it with my hands like a barbarian.
