I might change the planned menu, but there's always time for a quick bite of something else.

eat on the job! Dec 18, 2015

I sometimes forget to eat or even drink if I'm very busy...but in general I make sure to have something to eat or else I lose concentration and my blood sugar bottoms out.

I'll skip the gym if I have to, which i don't really like to do...if that happens, I put down the yoga mat and do some stretches so I don't get all kinked up.

I'm pretty easy with mealtimes and don't always eat three meals a day, but if I'm hungry my concentration ability starts to shut down, period. When that happens I'll make myself soup or a sandwich, even if I need to get something in soon, because I know that the quality and speed of my work will suffer greatly otherwise.

And very much agreed with others who mention gym being an integral part of the day. I get as cranky with no gym as I do with no food - in a job that requires a whol... See more
I'm pretty easy with mealtimes and don't always eat three meals a day, but if I'm hungry my concentration ability starts to shut down, period. When that happens I'll make myself soup or a sandwich, even if I need to get something in soon, because I know that the quality and speed of my work will suffer greatly otherwise.

And very much agreed with others who mention gym being an integral part of the day. I get as cranky with no gym as I do with no food - in a job that requires a whole lot of sitting, getting out of the house for exercise is key to sanity and balance. ▲ Collapse
