    Pack most the time. My wife wants me to eat healthy; so she packs me organic foods and shit. I fought it the first couple months, but now won't eat anything else. My body thanks me

    Either I bring a sandwich or go to a Philly Cheesesteak place, Fire on the Mountain, Killer Burger, Subway or Mongolian Grill.

    Julius, your comment is pretty common - under stress we go for sugar. Biological imperative, actually.

    I always (well, 95% of the time) bring both breakfast and lunch. Fortunately I do have access to refrigerator and microwave, as otherwise peanut butter sandwiches would get really old! Our group does a monthly lunch; sometimes there are lunch meetings or other events (food provided); on rare occasions I got home really late and too tired to pack food so use the cafeterias. They are partially subsidized and not terrible but still cost more than making my own.

    For today: breakfast, 2 whole grain muffins (homemade) with peanut butter and plum jam (from my plum tree), some mixed fruit & plain yogurt
    lunch: mixed green salad (I keep a bottle of dressing, homemade, at work) with a container of lentil/vegetable soup (I make big pots of soup on weekends and freeze individual servings) and a Fuji apple from my tree.

    Eat out every day. I'm so bad I walk almost every day to go buy coffee even though the office has coffee. I think I use lunch and coffee as a way to escape the office.

    Could be healthier. I mean walking is exercise; and staying in just one place may give you more stress. The release could be just what the doctor ordered.

    I like the variety of eating out. Lots of options around me. Particularly good Japanese (esp Ramen), Mexican and Persian food.
