Just like it says: post your pics of what you’re having for lunch! Hopefully we’ll get some inspiration here for quick, easy, tasty homecooked stuff to have rather than ordering in. First up - leftover black beans and rice from the weekend, plus a 60 second sautee of costco power greens with some salt/pepper/olive oil. Had a fat slice of roast pork tenderloin an hour ago as a snack and some extra protein. With any luck we’ll also get some from the naughty folks with 3 martinis lined up at the bar at 1:30pm 😂 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/e/4/e47bce230731533089e278a5256de34803220abb.jpeg) ---

I typically don’t WFH but my company has a full kitchen and we feed the employees breakfast and lunch. Depending on my training schedule and cravings, I’ll mix it up but here are a few of my regulars: ![IMG_4806](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/d/d/dde8f4f4269e7df58b3efdc508fcc2e5e1c0b322.jpeg) mixed greens avocado habanero pickled red onions banana peppers chicken bacon maybe some seeds or other stuff we have kicking around ![IMG_7617](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/e/3/e35adbaf5775db69e33c971fa2dfed6afd037fe6.jpeg) homemade veg chili, often w ground turkey ![IMG_5240](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/4/4/4455b2a10d59cd2d7404cb7ba286587908a6baec.jpeg) pretty self-explanitory but you can never have too many oats, especially when training ---

I have a habit of having tinned soup at my desk on calls. People assume its because I have ben working through my lunch time, and I choose not to correct them, but in reality I am still in my running/bike gear from the waist down having maximinsed every possible second of the lunch break for exercise. Today I have a burrito full of veggies and rice. When I say full I mean that I will inevitably overfill it and there will be a lunch based catastrophe. ---

> [@JoeX](#): > > Would be more interesting to see people post lunches they’re not proud of 🙂 Proud? Not LOL. Slapping some rocket lettuce, leftover broccoli, leftover rice, Costco and cherry tomatoes in a bowl and cutting up some Costco rotisserie chicken is what I a “lazy but healthy” lunch. No pride. The laziness continued with pre-made containers of carrots and sliced bell peppers. ---

You mentioned distinct vegetables at least four times, I don’t think you realise how far up the bell (pepper) curve you are! 😉 ---

So far today: a banana, an apple, and a granola bar. Oh, and coffee. I need to up my desk-lunch game by a lot. Keep those “make and freeze ahead of time” ideas coming… bonus points if I can easily get such meals to work via jersey pocket. ---

I had some leftover lasagna the other day that, when I looked at it, did think 'that is precisely jersey pocket shaped." 😂 ---

As an aside - the 3 biggest game changers for me have been 1. a rice cooker 2. Rice stick noodles 3. frozen veggies All are great for minimal time invested in cooking. A handful of dry noodles go into a bowl of water at 11 am or so. After that…they just get tossed straight into a pan with some frozen veggies and leftover chicken for a 5 minute heatup. Rice cooker…never had used one before…it’s not like it save real work. But not having to pay attention to a pot while I’m in the other room makes a huge difference. Frozen veggies…same deal…never really bought them until I started cooking at home mid day for one. ---

We have a microwave rice cooker, about 10-12 minutes in the microwave and no more burnt rice on our stainless steel pans. ---

My senior year I lived in a house that was being remodeled and for a couple weeks we were forced to cook hotdogs using two forks plugged into a wall outlet.
