Ok, for those who work . . . . what do you do on your lunch break (what do you eat, what do you do to fool around, etc.)?

I don't normally take a lunch, but when I do I generally go out with a buisness buddy... Then, we hang out and chain smoke for about 10 minutes, than I come back to my desk and continue to waste time on 'poly

Well today I had a chicken salad with lashings of mayonnaise, courtesy of Atkins.

I also walked to a supermarket with a colleague who needed to drop off a couple of films.

Then I just sat around and talked to whoever looked interesting or bored.

Normally, I go to the deli across the street or order the $5 Chinese take out though sometimes I go out with co-workers. If I was smart I'd brown bag lunch and save $100 per month.

I don't believe in lunch breaks. I'll just eat a sandwitch or two while at my computer. In school, I tend to eat lunch before or after all my classes (thus not really a break).

I buy a sandwich and a drink from the company cafeteria and go and sit in a nearby park and read for an hour while I eat. Or I might wander into town and do some shopping, but there's bugger all there.

Even if it's raining I'll go out for a 30 minute walk or something. I really feel the need to get some fresh air and stretch my legs after four hours sitting at my desk each morning.

Careful you don't start getting chubby. Drive-thru, subs and spending all say in front of a computer would tend to make one a little doughy.

I go to the Uni's cantine, where food is always as tasteless.
I sometimes eat a prepared salad, that I buy in the supermarket.

When I was working for real, I always ate 1-2 sandwiches, or Chinese food.

When I work my receptionist job on the weekend evenings, my dinner literally consists of a 21oz Coke and 4 doughnuts.

I also have 1 doughnut every morning with my coffee.

But don't worry about me, I still have a very fast metabolism, I get about 45 mins of walking in every day, I do work out some, and I get "other forms" of workout that expend a lot of energy.

60% of Wendy's profits actually come from Tim Hortons, a Canadian doughnut/coffee/soup store chain.

There are also far more Wendy's than Tim Hortons in the world. Only a handful of Tim Hortons in the US, rest in Canada. (East Coast Canada has them literally every few blocks )

yep, i'm 34 and I (unfortuneatly) can't eat the crap i used to without starting to look like a certain H.Simpson. Luckily my vanity is stronger than my glutony, so i'm still in good shape.

BTW Asher that 'fast metabolism' of yours? abuse it while you can, it won't last forever! (I know, I USED to have one)

I have a fast metabolism too and all Im eating for summer is ****in 2 slice of pizza and a coffee roll per day. I think I can reach negative weight if this is allowed to go on for the whole summer.

The doughnuts sound good, but the name has a rather unpleasant association for me.

Few years ago when I was working in construction site for a summer, I went to this cafeteria with other workers, and we always ate heavy lunch. Lots of pasta, or something else. Maybe lots of potatos and a stake. But lots of it. But it was heavy work, so we needed heavy lunch. I can't imagine doing that work without eating a good heavy meal in between. I once ate a sandwich and I was so beat.. but next summer when I was working in explosion firm, it wasn't heavy work, just office work so I ate only sandwich and coca cola with it. But I was sitting so much, that it was ok and I felt good.

At school I usually ate something little, but as food was crap, I sometimes went near by cafeteria to enjoy a nice sandwich, soup or just plain coffee with a donut. Usually the soup though. But I always eat something.
