What are your go-to lunch ideas?

Since most of us don't have access to an office cafeteria—and those who do usually deal with greasy, high-calorie junk that's impossible to stomach—I’ve got a question. Especially for those of us trying to stick to a specific diet for health reasons... what are you all doing for lunch?

What’s everyone eating lately? Looking for healthy options—but I don't want them to be nothing but pure carbs and fat.

Do you meal prep at home and bring it with you? Or are you more the type to just grab something quick during your break?

What do you guys grab for lunch?

I might grab some organic Greek yogurt from Chobani, maybe toss in an apple or a banana, or honestly? I’ll just swing by Target and pick up a chicken Caesar salad. It’s light, hits my protein goals, and it's basically perfect for my carnivore-adjacent diet.

Ugh, seriously though, their salads are freaking incredible!

Most days I’m just living off yogurt and fruit. But if I actually remember to stop at Billings, 😉I'll pick up one of those pre-made salads. They have a massive selection and they're honestly so good! I usually go for the chicken one (you know, with the chicken, tomatoes, peppers, and those little cubes of feta—yum!) 😍

Seriously though, you don't need to go out and waste money on all those pre-packaged salads. It’s honestly such a rip-off. I’ve learned the hard way—I buy one, take a bite, realize it’s mostly filler, check the label, and then just whip up a much better version at home myself next time. 😉

So... you're just bringing your own from home.

How does that work in the summer? Don't they spoil? Or start going bad on you?

What about during the summer? Doesn't all that food just spoil on you? Or start smelling funky?

In the summer, I usually just grab my stuff right before I head into work or class and then stash it somewhere cool. Honestly, if your office has a fridge, you're golden! 👍I am definitely NOT lugging containers around in my bag—God forbid anyone sees that. 😂 I’m betting you have some kind of spot that stays relatively chilled, so you just tuck your lunch away there until break time hits.

And look, if I’m running super late and can't grab my homemade meal, I'll just sprint to the nearest CVS or deli during my break and grab something quick...
