Daytime work people... What do you eat?

I don't eat breakfast. But there are lots of options other than eggs. High fiber cereals, greek yogurt w fruit, smoothies (all the rage right now), leftovers from dinner, peanut butter on toast, tuna salad, whatever you enjoy.

For lunch I usually bring leftovers because I cook yummy healthy dinners. When there are no leftovers I usually bring a salad (often topped with leftover meat/fish, beans, hummus or some type of protein), a sandwich wrap (basically the same thing that put in salads only wrapped up, pb or hummus with crackers or vegetables.

I agree; eat what fits your calorie goal.

Today's breakfast was overnight oats with raspberries and blueberries, boiled eggs, and coffee with milk.

Lunch will be a bunch of spinach with roasted chicken thigh and avocado mixed in plus some salad dressing.

I ate the same thing yesterday and will probably do it again tomorrow.

I work 6am-3pm everyday. I live an hour from my job, so I'm up at four, and understand your plite with this. What's been working for me is a smoothie for breakfast that I make up the night before (I have a magic bullet so I blend it right in the cup and put a lid on it to grab out of the fridge) and for lunch I either take leftovers (I've been cooking vegetarian for a January clean eating challenge so that's helpful, but just use whatever you've got in a lunch portion) or I grab a progresso ready to serve light soup (black lentil is a really great choice-GF and vegetarian). Snacks I usually grab either a greek yogurt with granola or a string cheese. Good luck, and just remember to keep it all within your calories and you will be fine!!

I brown bag my breakfast, lunch, and snacks pretty much daily. I love eggs, so I eat eggs for breakfast along with either beans or oats or toast pretty much daily.

It's winter and I make a lot of soups and stews throughout the week so lunch is usually leftovers and I usually have 1/2 an avocado pretty much every day. I also like to make various roasts which make good leftovers as well. If it's not leftovers, it's usually a sandwich or a big salad or something.

For breakfast I make a big egg white and roasted vegetable (heavy on the vegetables) casserole topped with barbacoa chicken and salsa. For lunch I usually have either soup or leftovers (rarely).

My usual breakfast is either oatmeal, raisins & milk or shredded wheat, blueberries and milk. But sometimes I have leftover soup. very filling and especially nice in the winter.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and for taking the time to respond.... A few people have mentioned smoothies... if you drink smoothies, do you make them and home and if so what do you put in them? Do you put in any protein to make it to the next meal?

This morning I made a smoothie with non-fat plain Greek yogurt (store brand, 5.3 ounces), 4 oz 1% milk, 8 grams vanilla protein powder, and 150 grams frozen strawberries. Had 1 ounce of almonds on the side. I put the smoothie in a Blender Bottle but any kind of wide mouth beverage bottle works. Enjoyed on the drive to work.

Lunch was 3 ounces ham steak and 85 grams spinach dry sauteed and seasoned with ground mustard and garlic powder. Put that in a plastic container and reheated it at work. Topped with 14 grams Parmesan cheese. Had an apple and 8 ounces of 1% milk (carried to work in a Ball freezer jar) on the side.

I'm not fond of eggs or green salads either. My diary is open although I only started logging again this week.

I tend to sleep as late as possible in the mornings, so I eat breakfast at work - no eggs for me! I'll either mix up a protein shake in my office (I like GNC Lean Shake in Rich Chocolate), or I'll bring a low calorie greek yogurt. For lunch, 90% of the time I bring a Lean Cuisine or other low calorie frozen meal. Occasionally I'll bring leftovers. For snacks, I have carrots with light ranch and mixed berries that I package myself on the weekends and weigh so I know the calories. This keeps me completely satisfied at work and I start getting hungry just when I get home and get ready for dinner. Like some others I like to leave myself extra calories for dinner because that is when I am the hungriest and have the least control over the calories (husband does most of the cooking since I work later).

I can't stand eating in the office (pet peeve when others prep, cook, snack all day...so glad that does not happen in my workplace)! But I get it...not everyone can eat breakfast and lunch at home. I do though. So breakfast is anything from yogurt with oatmeal and fruit, egg taco, cereal with almond milk, to a veggie and sprout omelet with Sriracha or steel cut oats with nuts. Lunch is usually something easy but good (to me anyway) like a tuna Panini, lentils, beans, rice, taco salad, or quick stir fry.

This thread is making me feel very grateful to have a two mile commute and standard 8-5 workday.

This morning I had a 4oz yogurt, and instant oatmeal.

Lunch was leftovers from Sunday's dinner

For whatever reason I have no time in the mornings, so I keep instant oatmeal in my desk for "emergencies". I try to make a fruit smoothie in the morning, so I can drink it on my commute. Sometimes I make overnight oatmeal, and just grab it before I leave. This week it hasn't worked out. Kids have been super slow in the mornings due to coming back from winter break.

Lunch is usually dinner leftovers.

I usually bring either oatmeal or Greek yogurt with some fiber one mixed in or cottage cheese mixed with berries. You could also make smoothies or a sandwich. If you have a microwave you coud make pretty much whatever you want

I eat breakfast, lunch and snacks at my office. I just cannot wake up in time to make breakfast at home, even just to blend a smoothie.

My breakfasts are usually one of these- an egg casserole made with cottage cheese that actually heats up nicely in the microwave (I'll bake it on the weekend), a veggie burger with cheese no bun, or miso soup in a jar (using the water jug's hot water spout). I'm not big on breakfast foods!

Lunches are either leftovers from dinner or a big kale salad with beans and whatever veggies and fruits I need to eat in my fridge. I do sometimes feel bad that I eat curries for dinner so often and then reheat them at work... oh well.

I don't really snack much but I do sometimes keep a tub of hummus and carrots in the office fridge in case of hunger.
