I work a job that has me working 12hr days. I get two 15 min breaks and one 30 min break. There is not always a chance to go and buy food. I tend to eat just before I leave for work and I seem to always eat when I get home.
Also I am trying to be healthy and lose weight. I can have water or drinks when ever I want but I am only aloud to eat on my breaks. What should I be bringing to work in general?

Anyone Here Have A Breville Barista Max??

Cook up a tomato and cheese pasta dish. Put some in a plastic box with some salad.

My son does 10 hour shifts. He eats before he goes and takes protein bars.

Depends on your level of activity. You will need more food if you are digging out a coal mine than if you are sitting at a desk.

Do you have access to a fridge and microwave at work?

If so you have lots of options such as soup and bread, stews,ready meals. Salads, pasta dishes etc.

If not then pasta dishes are OK cold and will survive without refrigeration, salads with rice and grains, and of course sandwiches.

Protein bars and fruit are good for break time.

You told us you work in a restaurant. Any restaurant I have worked in has allowed me to eat there or use their facilities. Failing that a bag of crisps and a kit kat does me.
