    To make it easy I might go with pizza. Order a veggie thin crust for you.

    I would personally order something like a hot fork buffet with fruit platter and large fresh salad platter
    loadsa meats and breads for the guys and fruit and salad will be left - not many burley blokes will eat the salad :)

    all depends what is available from shops around you

    I have to do this all the time. Our pizza place has salads and wraps as well - see if you can add something on for the two of you to a pizza order for them.

    How about sandwiches? Instead of getting everyone EXACTLY what they might prefer, you could do a few turkey, a few salami, etc. . .
    then you can get something healthy for yourself, like wheat bread, no mayo. . .

    Still sounds a little complicated, huh? Damn Pizza for being so easy!! ;-P

    Just because they eat crud most days doesn't mean you can't introduce a slightly heathier option to them now and again. Veg pizza, side salads, grilled chicken sandwiches... depends on what places you have around you.

    We've done this at our work, and I got my boss to order whole wheat crust pizza. He looked at me funny.

    Funny thing is the other guys end up eating the WW crust still no questions asked.

    Does it have to be ONE thing? If so, "Make Your Own Sandwich Tray (Mixed Meats, veggies, condiments, cheese, variety breads), chips on the side, variety of drinks.

    If it were me, I would stick with whatever I brought from home----anything you order will have too much sodium in it, too many carbs, and just not worth it.

    If you did not bring something from home, then go to subway and get a veggie salad with a piece of grilled chicken on it, and very light dressing.

    But that is what I would do. In fact, I would not even eat Subways dressing. I would go to the store and get me some Walden Farms dressing, 0 cal, 0carb, 0 fat.

    Hey. I'm in OKC. I can give you some suggestions if you want if you tell me where your office is.

    You could go with something like Earl's BBQ and get the guys ribs, brisket, etc.. and you could order some smoked turkey breast or the chicken and peel the skin off. They have green beans and their baked beans are probably not that bad.
