Work Packed Lunches with Simply Health

In order to save a bit of money and make healthier choices, I’ve been trying to take my own packed lunches to work. If I plan what I’m going to have for lunch, then I’m less likely to grab unhealthy food when my self-control is low due to reduced energy!
A recent Simply Health article, with stats from a BBC poll, states that 54% of office workers regularly spend their lunch breaks at their desks. Although I don’t have anywhere to sit to eat other than my desk, I do always try and go for a short walk afterwards to get some fresh air and move my legs.

Research shows that eating well  during the day promotes productivity- not surprising really, no one can concentrate with a growling stomach! Apparently a higher intake of fruit and veg also leads to increased feelings of curiosity and creativity, a great reason to reach for the carrot sticks instead of the crisps if you’re chasing a deadline.

Here are some of the tasty concoctions I’ve put together this week:

What do you take to work for lunch? Have you found it affects your performance? Does your workplace provide healthy snacks or a kitchen area to help prepare food?

NB: I was sent a food delivery courtesy of Simply Health in order to put together some healthy lunches for the week. I chose the food so these are definitely things I would eat normally!
