Sandwich or wrap and salad. I eat this on my coffee break and then read during meal break.

My work doesn't even have a break room, so I just eat at my desk. I work through lunch because I tell myself that I'll go home earlier, but social stigma stops me from doing it anyway. My work doesn't even provide tea or coffee, so I have to bring my own mug, spoon and instant coffee as well. Going back to the office has reminded me how much I miss having cooked lunches at home.

One job I never had much of appetite and was young and full of energy, so I got by on yoghurts and rice puddings.

Another job I never had breaks, just 30 minutes for lunch and I usually had fried chicken and chips, a supermarket sandwich or sometimes go to the pub for a stamina fuelling burger and pint.

In general, doing manual labour jobs I've found bananas and a tub of mixed nuts and seeds on your work station allows you to work steadily throughout the day without the need to rest at all.

this is pretty much what I do. Try to keep a high sugar bev stashed somewhere incase it gets real bad and I need instant relief from it, fixes it in seconds. The more weight I lose the more this shit seems to effect me. Starting to think Im full blown diabetic and it pisses me off because I didn't have these issues before I lost almost 100 lbs into a healthy bmi. Probably has something to do with the massive amounts of soda I used to drink when I was a fat fuck, I barely consume refined sugar now at all especially relative to the quantities in the liters of soda I was drinking a day.

Walmart owns or owned stock in some big supermarkets in Japan, and when they next renovated the local medium sized supermarket after Walmart bought a controlling share in the parent company it went from a generally pleasant atmosphere to huge imposing ceiling height black shelves that loomed over everything. I had to stop going there because it suddenly felt like shopping in a detention center. Fortunately I haven’t seen any other places get hit so hard and Walmart may or may not have pulled a lot of their money out during the financial crisis.

I have a similar problem, but it seems to be triggered BY eating sugar, especially when breaking a fast, though I'm fine if I eat nothing at all, or just zero calorie drinks. One day I made the mistake of eating a nothing but a cereal bar, then power walking 1/4 in to a corn field(detasseling work) when it hit me. I could barely stay standing so I ended up walking a 1/4 mile back to my truck, then driving 20 minutes to a gas station for some nuts, cheese, and jerky, and that took care of it. I also lost about 80lbs when I started noticing the phenomenon, but I think it's pretty normal and you just don't notice when you're a fat fuck eating every 2 hours.

>stable job in my field of choice with a comfy salary/benefits

Tough one. Also not sure why you’re implying the 1st comes with a state issued wife.
But I can definitely tell you have no concept of “hard work”; I paid for college by doing legit hard/dangerous work (not milfag), and now i get paid well to do a job where nothing is tying to kill me.
Yup, sure feels like soul-crushing evil corporation.

Where are you getting these anecdotes lmao
>have friends who got 4 year degrees and now owe 60k in student loans
>can't find a job for shit and no one hires them without 'experience'
>minimum wage until they can find a job totally unrelated to their field of study
^this is more realistic.
But we get it. You are a hardass that worked hazardous fields to pull yourself up by the bootstraps!

Honestly no
>every surface sticky 24/7
>tv is always either sportball or a 24/7 big bang theory channel of full blast
>smells like someone microwaved diarrhea, someone probably did actually just microwave their diarrhea

when I was a wagie I'd just go out and sit in my car. Rather be "that guy" than feel like I'm squatting in a newly abandoned building that hasn't had its power shut off yet.

I have bad news, Anon.
It wasn't really because you sit in your car during breaks.
It's because you're unsettling and creepy as fuck.

What happened to that one, anon? Was that as successful as capitalism or even communism?

Yeah coworkers always bring it up and sometimes they try and give me food. Best to refuse a couple of times and to take it once and they will get off your back for a bit.
