Banquet Turkey Pot Pies. Less than a buck at Target and small. I also sometimes pack some hard boiled eggs, but not always as I don't always have them ready at home.

I'm working on limiting my calorie intake to less than 500 a meal, which is easier at breakfast and lunch than dinner.

-Sandwich made from homemade WW bread with cheese or peanut butter
-Salad, large.
-Banana.

Being eating from the same lunch menu, pretty much 5 days a week for the last 20 years.

Bunch of stuff from Costco. I have costco less than a mile away from work. I have bike with rack. We have decent sized fridge. I have 6-7 different variety of frozen stuff i alternate as well as granola, soup, etc.

Lunch? What's that? Must be something private sector people do. I might eat a couple of pieces of fruit or a granola bar between job sites over the course of the day.

I think you are working for the wrong government....most public sector workers in California get months of vacation/sick time so I imagine they get at least 90 minutes for lunch.

Packed lunch, always.

1 cup of some form or combination of beans/split peas/lentils/legumes etc etc etc . . .

1 cup of some form or combination of quinoa, kamut, brown rice, amaranth, barley, rye berries, millet etc etc etc . . .

serving of nuts

fruits, veggies . . . whatever of each and however much I feel like.

Today, specifically, it's Split Pea chilli over Kamut with sunflower seeds and carrots. Grapefruit and Bananas for snacking early afternoon and right before heading home.

When I worked in downtown Calgary I had endless choices for eating out. Here, I work in a research park at the far end of a university campus and the only choices are a not-very-good cafeteria in the next building, an expensive restaurant next to the cafeteria (same kitchen?) or a grocery store about 10 minutes walk from work. So, it's mainly leftovers or whatever I can toss together the night before when I'm making dinner.

I'm super bad today. It was 44 degree going down the incline this morning and I didn't dress properly. Brrrr. When I got to work, I was a customer of those infamous Roach Coach (catering truck). Got me a Tuna Melt and Bagel. I know I will regret eating that after my stomachs settles.

I typically eat out, poorly and way to much! I've tried to eat in, but I need to get away from the desk to keep my sanity.

I drove in today, and I went back to the Chinese restaurant that fell so far off its stride that I stopped going for a couple of years.

Still bad. They're off the list for good.

I'll get fat around you guys.

Oh wait, I'm already fat!

OK. Fatter!

6" Subway sandwich today, with water. It was a nice change from the microwave meals I've been having.

im with ya brother. i lift 3 of my 5 work days and eat a lot. im thinking about going to walmart and stocking up on stuff i can keep at work so i can start biking. i figure between saving from eating out everyday, and saving from gas i would eat healthier and save money. both of which i need to do more of. soup, salads, and sandwiches are all cheap, easy, and healthier than what ive been eating.

I bring in stockpiles of food on the days I drive in, so I don't have to worry about packing or carrying food on the bike. I'll still usually carry in fresh fruit or any home cooked leftovers on bike days, but even if I don't I'll never go hungry.

Better still, every Friday my company supplies free catered lunch for everybody. (over 500 employees) Pizza, pasta, Italian beef and sandwiches, salad, cookies... I usually eat two lunches and sometimes even go back later to grab some leftovers to take home! I never go out for lunch.

1 head of lettuce with 1/2 cottage cheese - breakfast
1 head of lettuce with 1 (7 oz) can of Tonno-tuna lunch
almost every day when i bike and i bike almost any weather :beer:

I like to make some variation of a burrito: beans/lentils mashed up with rice/grains and/or some other form of protein, I used veggie protein like TVP and tofu 'cos it's cheap... add cheese if I feel like being opulent. They are good warm or cold, 'cos I am sometimes without a microwave as well. I also cave and sometimes visit the gut truck if I'm on a site.

Maybe a couple of times a month at max I'll go to Subway and get a foot long, that's lunch and dinner for me. Otherwise it's something in tupperware.

I keep ramen in my desk drawer in case of a calorie emergency, but I generally don't have them when I'm cycling. I only get really super hungry when I haven't been riding for weeks. The more I exercise the less I tend to eat.

Lunch for me is a sandwich and left over salad from last night.
