Where's the vegetable bit?

>>5305114
I don't eat lunch.

>>5305135
You should

Most days lately I just take a big chunk of bread (homemade) with me to work. I eat a good breakfast and dinner with lots of fruits and vegetables on both ends of the day, so I figure it won't hurt me too much just to have carbs to give me energy to make it through the day.

>>5305140
Why? Don't usually eat breakfast either, just dinner.

I eat before I go to school usually

Some meat and rice usually will fill me up pretty cheap too

If I'm having a long day then I usually go out to eat

Mainly checkers but that's on very very long days which happens rarely

>>5305203
Why?

Raw fruit/vege and salad sandwiches.
That's pretty much it.

>>5305203
Same here usually.
My dinner is generally high cal, so I just eat that. I'm not hungry until maybe 1 the next day, but a cup or two of tea holds me over just fine.

Some shit I cooked the night before or at a previous date froze.

When I purchase food, I often go for a bagel with cream cheese cause it's filling enough until dinner and I'm cheap. That or a sandwich/wrap/burrito from any number of places near my workplace.

Sometimes we have people from other offices at our headquarters, meeting, conferences etc. and there is often left over food as a result. I like eating that stuff cause they order from good places and it's free.

I try to bring lunch 3-4 times a week.

Don't generally get hungry in the morning, and I'm too lazy to make a lunch but I don't want to spend tons of money eating out, so I just wait until I get home and eat dinner.

>>5305203
I'm with this guy except I usually eat lunch and dinner. Typically dinner is the larger meal.

This eating pattern is called "intermittent fasting", and as much propaganda there is surrounding the issue (3 meal per day, or graze all day paradigm), this is a very natural and common human eating pattern.

>>5305230
Calling it very natural and common doesn't make it very natural and common. Choosing to skip a meal despite being hungry is a privileged, vain, white people exclusive.

I am having trouble containing my laughter.

I don't choose to skip a meal arbitrarily, it's a pattern i just fell in to.

There is a multitude of accounts concerning cultural eating/diet, many peoples across many different cultures were intermittent fasters.

>>5305114
I eat Trader Joes frozen meals at work. They're pretty good and have a wide variety.

Also, other people hate me because I hog the microwave for 5-7 minutes but tough luck.

>>5305230
Same here. I was never hungry at breakfast so i usually just skipped it. Now I feel sick whenever I eat early in the morning

>>5305114
Whenever I'm stuck at school all day, I usually stop by the grocery store on the way and pick up a loaf of French bread, an 8oz block of cheese, a few pieces of fruit, and maybe a drink. The cheese and bread alone are like 800 kcal each, so I usually try to eat light otherwise on those days.

I buy my lunches

I cant cook.

wrong.

I work at a care home in a small village, the chef here is amazing and cooks the best meals. Staff have meals made up for them, and put in the fridge to heat up when ready.

Religiously/spiritually inspired fasting? Because that's fucking retarded if you're trying to prove that IF has any moral correctness.
I can't think of any other cultures that prioritize losing flab over the social, mental and health effects of eating well, in as adequate as possible portions and in as adequate as possible frequency.
I've traveled some places too.

I eat a lot of vegetable yakisoba or leftovers for lunch. Today was leftover shepherd's pie, yesterday was
Yakisoba with:
cabbage, fried tofu, carrot, cauliflower, broccoli, bean sprout

small bowl of rice w/ furikake

3 potstickers

My partner and I make a lot of food during the week so we both have lunches ready to go every day. Helps cut down on eating out (plus it's expensive) and good for healthy eating as we pick and choose what goes into the meals. We try not to buy lunches though some days mishaps do happen (forgot, fucked up previous night's dinner, etc.) We eat a lot of the same things but we're trying new stuff to make in bulk. We made paella the other night and it was a huge success so we will move on to bigger batches now.

2 wraps, each with 100g of whatever roast meat I had previously. With hummus.
Then a curry with 150g rice+300g meat.
I work for 11 hours a day, so this gets me thru

>>5305114
leftovers
fruits
a small sandwich

something of the above

>>5305114
The peanut butter sandwich is screaming. Cannot unsee.
