What foods do your co-workers eat?

My co-worker has been on "the atkins" for years. For lunch he eats approximately a 1/2 pound of cheese, 1/2 pound of lunchmeat, and a couple celery sticks. His weight loss is currently on hold.

yep, dairy and processed meats will get you every time! ew.

i don't have co-workers

Pizza, Pop-tarts, Chinese, Mexican, Fried chicken fingers & fries. It all always smells so good & drives me crazy. She is like a size 2, though & eats as much as a man can. Not fair! LOL

Took a stroll by the lunch room. Cheese enchiladas, tamales, flour tortillas, rice, beans, various meats in gravy. This is South Texas! Calories what are those?! lol

I work part time so I only go in a few times a week, but one girl talks about how she needs to lose weight. She seems like she knows what she needs to eat when we talk about it together. And she says she needs to cut out pop/soda because she usually drinks it every day..

...almost every time I work with her she's drinking a liter of Pepsi and eating pizza.

However, I will keep supporting her to get healthy. And I will never criticize her choices when I see her eating/drinking crap.

I usually don't pay any attention either, but when they buy fries and you smell it throughout the office it becomes hard not to notice.

I'm not sure. I've never seen them eat.

I don't pay attention to what my co-workers eat just as I hope they are not watching every bite I eat.

I work for a super health-conscious office (I work in the tech industry, not in fitness). Mostly they eat leftovers from their dinner the night before (usually a lunch-sized portion of pasta, chicken, rice, burger, whatever)...occasionally pizza...occasionally microwave dinners. Lots of fruit, granola bars, yogurts..

There are some people that eat out a lot. Some people really only eat salads and yogurt. Most people are in good shape.

I really offended a lady once, at a former job, we had an ice cream social and she had a HUGE bowl of it (so did I, if not more. I had a brownie, fudge, the works....this was before I started in on MFP) ...I made a comment to her like "wow that's a lot of stuff on your ice cream that looks good"

...she took it as me calling her a fatty I guess. Went and told the supervisor that I had offended her.

I never make comments on what people eat (out loud) now.

Hey we have one of those too. But its a she. Almost 10yrs she still looks the same.

This is such an interesting question . . . . a solid percentage of my coworkers eat pretty healthy (they bring their lunches, actively use our kitchen, etc.). And when there are meetings over lunch, salads & sandwiches from Specialty's or someplace local are common. . . . (full disclosure- I live in the San Francisco Bay Area so overall people tend to be healthier & more active- I also work at a nonprofit so people are extremely aware of food issues & social issues- and some tend to be budget conscious).

I tend to be the biggest offender (and am one the larger people in the office). I am always pushing Chinese food or pizza (we do get pizza for all-staff events though, it's from Whole Foods, not sure that makes a difference though) at group meetings- and tend to go to Panda, Popeye's, Jamba or Taco Bell for lunch. . . .and am a fan of getting a snack in the mid-day.

I have to stop this though, my weight is an issue now and I need to lose weight.

Ugh! Don't get me started!! Fried chicken, pies, fancy desserts, take-out, vending machine snacks, potlucks, froo-froo coffee drinks with whipped cream and chocolate, excessive alcohol (after work)... And then they complain that they can't lose weight. The thing that really gets me, though, is when they try to be the boss of what I eat, and announce to others that "Lisa had a big breakfast so she won't be having lunch." Really? Because my "big" breakfast was carefully planned and had less than 300 calories, but WAY more nutrients than YOU'RE getting all day. Don't tell me what I can and can't and should and shouldn't eat. I'm doing just fine, thank you. Isn't that obvious yet? I hate eating in our breakroom now. I'm sad to miss the socializing, but it ends up being a negative experience. Just as well. Leaves me plenty of time to squeeze in a walk!

Change "he" to "she" and this is it. "Take 7lbs of sausage and beef, wrap that in bacon and cheese then put it on the grill." And vomit. Now she is swearing she wont go over 1000 calories a day but works out for at least an hour.

Oh and my other neighbor- chain smokes, regular coke and take out every day. He is now slinging vitamins to improve his "healthy" lifestyle.

Other chick is "no sugar/low carb" but not atkins. Suzanne Summers I think. She has had some results but it still baffles me at the amount of calories I estimate her eating.

I don't really pay attention to what my co-workers eat, but I am the only vegan in the office, so generally they comment a lot more on my lunch than I do on theirs.
