Do you have plans for lunch?

I don't often cook lunch: normally I make a sandwich and a coffee. Occasionally, I'll heat a hotdog in the sous vide, or heat some soup I made recently for that very purpose. I do stop for lunch: breakfast is generally around 06:00, and I'm pretty hungry by lunchtime.

A 2 quart container of salad (no lettuce), lots of black pepper and vinegar, and a little ham and oil. Keeps the usual post lunch crash :zzz: in check.

I work best during the day when eating light meals.
I work best when I get up very early,2AM - 4AM and work a couple of hours. I get a lot of work done. After that I guess tired kicks in and my productivity falls off.

I have a frozen lasagna ready to heat up in the microwave. Then I'll eat it at my desk. I don't eat very healthfully.

I'll usually have leftovers or a sandwich and eat while I work. However, that doesn't mean that I don't take an hour in the middle of the day to enjoy some outdoor exercise time. Thus, there is now a separation between "lunch" and "lunchtime." Something that the pandemic helped create. :laugh:

Peanut butter and Nutella on wheat bread with a bag of microwave popcorn, unless there are decent leftovers. That hasn't changed from my pre-pandemic and going to the office. When I went to the office I never went out for lunch, except when the company was paying for a lunch outing.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Years ago (28 or 29 :-O ) I would take my lunch and sit in my cubicle or somewhere in the company and eat. Then one day my boss approached me mid-bite into my sandwich: "I need you to take this Tech Support call." Me: "Oh sorry, I'm on lunch. BOSS: Take the call. Me: You can forward it to Ken. He's on right now, covering lunch. BOSS: No, I want you to take the call. Me: mmm....<muttering under my breath> <picks up phone> That was the last day I ever ate lunch inside a company. After that, I always left the premises for lunch. 28 years later, I WFH and I still go out to lunch most days. :laugh:

Right now, I invite previous coworkers for lunch, to catch up. If nothing planned, then yes, break for an hour. Fancy meal is called dinner, and is after work. Lunch in Europe is bread. Not even toasted. We eat bread with cheese. Living next to Germany, sometimes a wurst is there. I did the fancy stuff too, but it would cost the same as an hour of work. That's just not worth it. 40 hrs, minus 5 suddenly. No, just no.

Been working from home for over 15 years; Covid changed nothing for me in that respect. I *have* to break for lunch, or else my late afternoon is gonna be a write-off. I just get too hungry otherwise. I can't skip lunch. That being said, that doesn't mean I'll work through lunch. I'm not getting paid any extra for working through a break (or anything else, for that matter), so I'd be an idiot not to break when I'm allowed to. Of course that doesn't mean dropping everything I'm doing the instant the clock turns to 12:00pm either - if I'm on a roll, I'll keep going until I've reached a point where I'm satisfied I'll be able to later pick up where I left off. Same for my end-of-day time. I try to stick to a consistent schedule, but putting in an extra half-hour or so is okay(-ish) if it means "leaving at a good point". So the only "plan" I ever have is, yes, I do plan to have lunch. How exactly that works out depends on what I'm doing on a day-to-day basis.

In Italy, lunch is also an important thing. It is composed of carbohydrates + proteins and vegetable fibers (pasta, piadina, tigelle, Apulian "pucce", etc etc... the list would be much too long, I'll stop here, but, if possible, rarely sandwiches), and vegetables and/or fruit. Almost everyone has a full meal (light or normal) based, when possible, on the principles of the Mediterranean diet. In company canteens, there is usually pasta that is not too seasoned, proteins in the form of chicken or meat, raw, grilled, or boiled vegetables, and a fruit of your choice, all at highly discounted prices if you are an employee or accredited visitor. Rarely do Italians skip lunch as breakfast is almost always light, and generally sweet, except in the northeast regions where the breakfast is most similar to german countries. In Italy "breakfast", "lunch" and "dinner or supper" are mapped as "colazione", "pranzo", and "cena". In fact, their names should be "prima colazione" (first breakfast), "breakfast", and finally, "lunch".

I've worked from home all this century. I used to take a brief break and make toasted sandwiches, or make some soup, or a salad. Lunch was also the opportunity to pop down to the station to pick up a paper, put the washing out, groom the cats and other stuff. I aimed to take lunch around 1pm but it was totally dependent on what I was doing - if I was "in the zone" it might get forgotten about until gone 3pm. These days, 90% retired, I have a similar routine. Except that now I graze all day, and stop (if I remember) to do a bit of work. :laugh: :cool: :java:

Not in my Europe! In Stockholm everyone I know has a proper meal. Take-away or restaurant (or a full meal from home).

Taking later lunch 1:30/2 PM but work through lunch then use "lunch" time to nap in car or now bed since remote. Taking actual 12 PM lunch kills productivity for rest of day.

Bread is proper and appropriate. Anything else is luxury.
