What are some real simple ideas for lunch at work?
I'm sick of buying lunch at the cantine because it's a rip off and tastes like shit.
what are some good lunch idas for taking to work?
(we have a kettle, toaster and microwave at work but thats it)
ideally, my perfect lunch would be a pot noodle, but given the nutritional information of that i might aswell just eat paper amirite.
are there any healthier alternatives to a pot noodle/pasta pot. (one where i can just pour boiling water to enjoy a hot meal? soemthing real simple
you can rehydrate beef jerky with boiling water
put eggs in the kettle and hard boil them.

if you use dried noodles you can parboil them, then pour boiling water at work. Same for fresh noodles.

Google "dehydrated instant meals"

Can't you just pack something in a sealable container and heat it up in the microwave?
There's still nothing that beats taking wraps to work. Load them up with some lettuce/capsicum/cucumber/whatever vegetables you want, add some protein like some sliced chicken, add a sauce if desired, wrap them up, put them in the fridge when you get to work.
I've done wraps in tonnes of variations. Every other week I tend to bake a batch of something (muffins/cookies/etc) and I take those to work until I've eaten them all too.
Can also do the above with sandwiches if you'd rather I just am not as big a fan of the bread:fillings ratio with two pieces of bread instead of a wrap.
Other than that there's always the leftovers option which is easy. Stir fries are easy to take and you can eat them cold or microwave them if you want.

I have done this. Parcooked noodles with a combination of sauces that I like, add some vegetables and some chicken or something, then pour some boiling water over it at work and make a noodle soup out of it. Much better for you than prepacked instant noodles.
I just make extra every night and take leftovers for the next day its nice so long as you don't mind eating the same thing twice in 24 hours
Make dinner. Put leftovers in a container. Take container to work and reheat in microwave at lunch time.
If you have a refrigerator at work, use that. If you don't, get one of those insulated lunch bags and keep it cold until lunch time.

Just make a sandwich

That is such a simple, lazy thing to do. Pure genius, my man.
This changes everything for me.

Only autistic manchildren throw tantrums about eating leftovers.

This is now a thread about the best lunch boxes/pails/containers because OP's topic is boring, for unimaginative people.
My pick? Cheap plastic Tiffin style.

oh, look, a consumerist drone
i just bring a red lid rubbermaid container. it looks nice and its very practical. those lunch pails look tacky as fuck.
>>7141600
this is so stupid because you have to remove the fruit/salad to microwave it. are people oblivious to smaller containers for sauces and tid bit snacks?

>complains about consumerism
>has brand preference

Bake chicken breasts on the bone (skin-on), with a little salt, pepper, lemon or just olive oil. Cool. Remove from bone. Set aside.
Make chicken salad.
Day 2, add fruit, nuts, and maybe an herb,directly to your sandwich.
Day 3: curryize the chicken salad with mango curry, curry powder, cilantro. Sever over greens.
Sunday "roast" becomes meals for 3 days, modifying it a litle each day. Day 1, all 3 courses of leftovers. Day 2, pasta salad with stuff thrown in and hit it with some salad dressing creamy or acidic, Day 3, puree it up into some soup, serve with thawed roll or bread you can toast (or some soup crackers). I like turkey, roast beef, roast pork, etc. Pork esp takes to BBQ sauce well. Meatloaf dinners can be done in individual patties, and spiced differently, and frozen to make a quick sandwich or lunch main. Go asian with hoison, BBQ, or spiced chili sauce and some kind of great pickle or grilled onion bacony jam.

One such box is what I eat in a day.
Cutting sucks.
Pic related should not cost more than $0.25 each. They're fucking restaurant supply.

Left overs.

Why did that person only use the green smarties, it must've been very annoying to pick them all out?

They use those at chinese restaurants.
