Continuing a topic that @David Warner II raised in another thread. The importance of eating and preparing food. Now, this is highly dependent on what you prefer or like but I personally tries to eat, somewhat, healthy when working from home. Since I will, usually, be moving less than I would if I were to go to our office or to one of my customers, I prefer to be just a bit more healthier at home. Also, its about saving time to be able to chill, watch Netflix or do chores during my lunch break as an example. Ill give you a few examples of what I eat, but I hope to see others. Feel free to share recepies as well.
Note. I´m aware that the WFH, especially today, could impact local restaurants, cafes etc. It varies heavily between countries due to the way salaries are payed and the value of tips. However, I always encourage people to support local communities IF you are able to. This is an option, not the only way.
What do you eat while working from home?

@Simon Binder, I find I eat left-overs from last nights dinner more often when working from home. I definitely save money and see less waste. My kitchen is conveniently a few steps away and I can prepare whatever I need. Whereas at work, the kitchen is limited.
Cool topic. Interested to read what others have to share.

Meal prep has always been part of my weekend ritual, and I've always enjoyed it! Has proved to be super helpful this week so I just need to reheat/quickly cook something between meetings.

@Simon Binder I really like that wfh I can control the quality of the food I consume. Such as the amount of sugar and butter. I love eating out, and when I do city days about 2-3 days a week (usually!) its like a treat day. I will head out for Thai, Vietnamese or other amazing cultural options in the city. But you don't know the hidden cholesterol or fat/ sugar in purchased food. So when wfh its nice to go back to basics. I love a simple eggs on toast or home salad.
One tip from me is be careful not to reach for carbs because you are sitting so much. I find when I wfh I do less walking. I will jump in the car with kids for school drop off then straight to the desk. I love that I can get more hours done with no commute, but have to make myself find time to get in the steps that are so easy to clock up when commuting and around the city.
