Do you prepare your own lunch at home and bring it to be eaten somewhere else like at work or school? I do most of the times. It saves me time, money and the need to make increasingly hard decisions of ‘what should I get for lunch?’ every single day at work… 
I usually just bring sandwiches because they are easy to prepare, the varieties are endless, and very convenient to eat. But sometimes there are some left-over from dinner that would make a good packed lunch. This beef and broccoli stir-fry was my non-sandwich lunch packed from left-over of the previous dinner. It is served with steamed white rice. All packed in a single microwavable plastic container, the food is ready to be quickly heated up before eating…

When I worked outside of my home I did bring lunch with me, usually a sandwich since as you said it's easy and good! =)

Your packed lunch looks DELICIOUS
In the past I've always had the best intentions, but never been organised enough to have a packed lunch ready every day... I will do in future though, I have a tendency to convince myself that calories consumed outside my house don't count, and it's that kind of thinking that's stopping me from losing weight

But I'm telling you, you do look like you've lost so much weight in that new avatar of you and Leonard... 
I can see it, even if I have to keep tilting my head to convince myself... @LilyBeBack (1994)

@sishy7 That's very kind but your eyes deceive you, I've put 2.5 stone on since Leonard born

That looks so yummy! I'm at home most days of the week, so I obviously don't need to pack my lunch 
I think it's a good habit, though. Healthy for the body and pocket.

@cahaya1983 That's right! And I really like not having to decide what to get for lunch every day at work...

@pradab It's more like a different type of stress, I guess. I work from home so I have that to do, as well. But the eating at home part sure is a bonus!

mmm, your packed lunch looks yummy.
i always ask my students if they bring their packed lunch along. i advise them to, because meals in the canteen are so expensive even if priced as students meals.

@sishy7 i have to allow them to bring their packed lunch because their parents or benefactors might not have enough money to give the students their allowances for the day. i have some students too, who skip lunch because they have no money to buy food

@sishy7 My husband use to do that and some of the other workers got upset. They said it smelled so good, but they had to eat a cold, bologna sandwich! LOL

Since I'm retired, I usually eat lunch at home and I can easily go all day without eating anything. It is called intermittent fasting.

@1hopefulman Very good. She exercises a lot too. Goes to the gym at least 3 times a week and rides her bike on Sundays. So obviously she's very slim and fit. She does everything consistently.

My lunches, when I have them, are either at home, or from out. But then i don't work outside of the home to need to pack one.

@Courtlynn The only thing I can think of now is a picnic... Usually people pack some food from home to take on a picnic... But yeah, I guess it's also easy enough to get some take out and bring it to eat at a picnic setting...
