Introduction
We all know that eating at work is a bad idea. You can't control the ingredients, and you're probably not sitting down to enjoy your meal anyway. But there are times when it's unavoidable, whether it's because you don't have time to leave the office during lunch or because you really need an emergency supply of chocolate chip cookies right now. In those cases, I've compiled a list of five food wars that will help you decide if it's worth it to eat those questionable foods at work:
Meeting catered lunch
If you are provided with a catered lunch, it is best to avoid eating the food if possible. Catered lunches are notorious for providing only unhealthy options that may be high in fat, sodium, or sugar. If you do not want to eat the catered food and cannot bring your own lunch due to a lack of time or money (or both), then choose one item from the buffet and share it with a friend. If sharing is not an option for you, eat half of the catered meal and save half for another day when buying healthy foods will be more feasible.
Party in the break room
Bringing your own lunch to work is a great way to make sure you get healthy meals, but there are still a few things you should consider. If your usual lunch consists of a turkey sandwich, don't change it up by having spaghetti and meatballs instead just because the chef in the break room said so. Your body knows what it likes, so if you eat something different from what is normal for you, try to keep it irregular as much as possible.
If someone in your office has some delicious food that they're willing to share with others in their department (or even with anyone who is interested), then go ahead and indulge once in awhile! It's not always easy for people who aren't used to eating healthily at home to find foods that fit their diet when dining out or at work. Turning down freebies can seem rude or like an insult; however, rejecting them politely will prevent any awkwardness from occurring between coworkers who may otherwise be friendly toward one another
Clean-out-the-fridge day
Clean-out-the-fridge day is the day when your coworkers leave their lunches in the break room for you to find. It's usually a Friday or Monday when everyone has had a chance to go grocery shopping, but then they forget about it and end up with leftovers from Thursday night's meal.
You can avoid this by bringing your own lunch every day, keeping in mind what foods keep well without refrigeration (sandwiches and salads). You could also ask your coworkers not to leave their food out for others unless they are in an emergency situation (for example, if one of them forgot that today was Clean-out-the-fridge Day).
If you're stuck with it, eat it! If there's something that looks safe enough (like yogurt), go ahead and try it out; if not, throw it away quickly so no one sees you do so and spread rumors about how disgusting you are
Doughnut break
Doughnuts are a favorite among many people in the working world. They’re easy to eat and can be cheap, but they come at a cost: calories and sugar. A doughnut has about 200-300 calories, depending on its size and filling. They also contain lots of sugar which makes them more satisfying than other snacks that have fewer calories, like fruit or nuts. If you are trying to stay healthy at work and want an occasional treat, then doughnuts might be for you! Just make sure that these treats don’t become too frequent because eating too many doughnuts can lead to weight gain or health problems like diabetes later in life.
Lunch swap
Lunch swap is a great way to try new foods, meet new people and make new friends. The best part about lunch swap is that you get to step out of your comfort zone and expand your horizons by trying food from cultures you know nothing about.
So get ready for fun times at work!
If you want to stay healthy at work and avoid eating too many doughnuts, then it might be best to just avoid them. There are plenty of other snacks that will satisfy your sweet tooth without being so unhealthy for youYou can also save money by organizing a lunch swap. The idea is to trade lunches with your coworkers and split the bill. This way you get to try new foods, make new friends and save money. You could even try making your own lunch once in a while!.
These five food wars will help you decide whether or not to eat those questionable foods at work.
Food wars are everywhere. You know the ones: your friend who boasts about eating organic produce and drinking green smoothies, but still looks as if he's in a constant state of starvation. Or how about the guy who makes fun of you for eating healthy? In this blog, we'll explore five food wars that can help you decide whether or not to eat foods that may be questionable at work.
-
The importance of eating healthy: Eating well is good for your mind and body! By making informed decisions about what you put into your body, you will feel better during the day (and maybe even have more energy), which will make it easier for you to focus on work!
-
The dangers of eating unhealthy: On the opposite end of the spectrum are people who eat whatever they want without thinking twice about what it does to their bodies or their minds. If these people weren't already tired from spending all night partying hard after a long day at work, then chances are they're usually tired because their bodies aren't getting enough nutrients from food sources like vegetables! This can lead them down an unhealthy path where they get sick more often than not because their immune systems aren't strong enough from regular exercise & nutritious meals...
Conclusion
If you are tired of eating the same old lunch every day and want something new, try one of these five food wars. They will help to inspire you to eat healthier at work by providing delicious and nutritious options that will satisfy your cravings while keeping you on track with your fitness goals!
