The trick is being able to eat the same meal for the entire day. Cook once and eat it throughout the day. lol

Good Lord I am happy I can handle my shit and not have to publicly post my executive dysfunction for the planet to see.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I am pretty sure I have ADHD and I still manage to meal prep.

Even if you cant, you can literally just have a backup plan like mine, for when I forget to cook I have some frozen chicken strips, potato wedges, and green beans, throw it all on a sheet pan and into the convection oven for 20-25 mins, boom you have a decent meal, bit more pricey than doing it from scratch, but it's quick and low effort

A Br*tish person complaining about lunch, that’s rich.

Maybe try having a proper one, like the rest of Europe, and you will find the answer to all of your complaints.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Can you give an example of a "proper one" that isn't cooked?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Bread with (good) cheese and some fruit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Genuinely interested in how that is practical in an office setting. We barely have room to keep leftovers, let alone decent bread and cheese. It's also a bit boring if you're having it most days.

Me, living in France, where a cafeteria room is mandatory, 1-2h long lunchs are the norm and your employer has to give you at least 4-5€/day to buy lunch:

Is this some sort of British joke that I am too Indian to understand?

Edit: There was a bit of miscommunication it seems. My comment was on the food themselves and not the price.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (19 children)

Start going to Starbucks for lunch, instead of the roadside stall and you'll understand.
I'm happy with cooking at 13:00. Better than having an extra-humid, stale-feeling lunch box

You can just... not? Having two larger meals a day isn't that weird.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I have adopted the "Central European" diet:

One large meal a day and then leftovers + bread and toppings.

Occasionally might have more but that's my daily meal plan and works pretty great.

£4 sounds pretty cheap if it's a decent meal

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Meal deals are rarely ever decent. They're enough to get you through the working day if you sit at a desk all day.

It's a sandwich, pocket of crisps or a chocolate bar and a drink.

Eating is a chore, I watch a video so i dont think about it, instant noodles are real easy to make at work, toss in some broccoli if youre feeling like a but fancy

Sorry to hear you don't have functioning taste buds

I just cook bigger portions for dinner and eat that as lunch

Really? I've been an adult for quite a while and I always look forward to lunch (all meals, actually). Plenty of quick, simple, and appealing meals to make.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

This is a first world problem

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Grow the fuck up.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Well, what do you want to eat? I guess if you don't want to prepare your own food, those are the only options, whether at work or at home. Otherwise, make whatever you want and take it to work. Cook more food than you need for your dinner and take the leftovers. Make a salad (tons of options for them), make a sandwich. You don't have to eat canned soup, make some nice homemade soup and freeze a bunch of individual servings to grab and take. The possibilities are endless.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Microwaving some leftovers might be an option. You get the great food you put effort into making, without actually having to make the effort at lunchtime.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (6 children)

I’ve just started with smoothies. Some greek yogurt(has loads of protein), frozen vegetables, honey, and water(to make it a drink) and it’s already goin’ pretty well.

I agree, it’s awful to deal with.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (5 children)

I've been making my own yogurt lately a half gallon at a time. It's dummy easy and comes out a bit thinner than most store yogurt. It works really well as a drink or smoothie base

This person’s problem can be solved by a sandwich. Takes like 3 minutes to make, or can be prepped earlier, no cooking necessary, has color, is fresh, not frozen, beats any fast food meal in price and quality. Also can even be healthy if you shop wisely. Can be different every day. Can be hot or cold. The possibilities are endless. Sandwiches are the best.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Or cook a big batch of your own soup at the weekend. Then microwave it for lunch.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

You can even eat it riding a horse!

[–] [email protected] 58 points 4 months ago

Sandwiches were literally invented to be home made, portable fast food, for hunters, workers, and the like. Not only are they ok with being wrapped up and carried, if made right they actually get better when wrapped up and squashed.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago (9 children)

I agree sandwiches are the best. But my metabolism is just too efficient at turning carbs into fat and high blood sugar. There's just no substitute for good bread in a sandwich, all attempts at compromise/substitutions ruin the whole thing.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago (5 children)

wraps are just as convenient and use far less bread, i love a good turkey wrap for lunch

What type of bread are you using, and how thick are your slices? These work fine for me, but theres also rye versions. https://frutimian.no/2016/08/12/matpakkebrod-i-langpanne/ - note link is in norwegian.

I dont mind spending time preparing if it means i get great taste.
