    Well I didn’t say fast food. I said restaurant. You know, a place where you could just fill up on salad every day and probably be fine nutrition-wise.

    No I am not in the US.

      I know you said restaurant, but a vast majority only get 30 minutes for lunch, and you can’t go eat in less than 45 minutes. Best you could do is call ahead to have an order ready or have it elected… But at that point delivery or fuel costs count towards meal spending, so bringing food from home would be cheaper, if you’re OK prepping ahead of time.

        Yes, 30 minutes is a bit too short even if you have a good restaurant nearby. In Sweden we get 42 minutes but in most workplaces nobody’s really clocking you. And a couple of options are usually within walking distance.

        Still though, I always used to prep for the reasons you said. I feel really lucky now that my workplace has a reasonably good restaurant on site, and there’s no issue taking proper lunch breaks.
