Its a pain to go to my job's cafeteria during lunch so, we all end up lunch boxing it for lunch.

Who else brings their own lunch to work? If so, what do yall usually pack?

Its usually:
Any leftovers from dinner
Ham/turkey/roast beef sandwiches
frozen dinner thats in the back of my freezer
PB&J
hot pockets
bag of chips
pop tarts
yogurt
fruit cup

not all at the same time. lol

Most of the time, yes. Once a week or so I'll go eat out with the guys that go just about every day. It's always leftovers since I don't do bread most of the time.

I try to, sometimes I get lazy

First choice is leftovers, unless I'm not able to heat something up that may need heating
Otherwise it's sandwiches
Fruit
Mixed nuts or almonds
Occasionally yogurt

I'd say 80% of my lunches are brought. Most of the time I keep bread, meat, fruit, and chips in our work kitchen. $15/week if I make my lunch. Some times I need to get out of the office or I'm on the road at a job site.

I do also. I like to keep it light. Yogurt, power bars, fruit.

Going to lunch makes my entire day better. The $10-$15 I spend per day is well worth it to keep my sanity.

I bring my lunch 95% of the time.

Most days it is a sandwich with cottage cheese and a piece of fruit.

Sometimes I do. Most of the time, my lunch is a business setting where someone else is paying. Today was an exception where I paid for 6 customers, but will be reimbursed by the company.

In short, I don't pay for lunch much.

I bring lunch most of the time. It's either leftovers or Progresso soup and a salad.

I should bring my lunch but I have to get out the office. Plus pho is hard to bring to work anyway.

I bring my lunch. I usually cook enough on Sunday night to last me through at least Wed or Thurs.
But I count macros so bringing my lunch is almost the only option.

Almost all the time.

Peanut butter and raisin sandwich.
Adkins chocolate shake.
Yogurt
Leftovers from last night's dinner

Stuff like that.

When I get really frustrated, I fall of the wagon and go to the gas station in town and have a half dozen fried chicken livers. Yep, I'm a chickenlivercoholic.

I bring leftovers 4 out of 5 days.

Typically I bring.

Yogurt granola and almonds for breakfast.
Leftovers for lunch
if my son has practice and I know im not going to eat till after 7 I'll eat a nice snack around 3, normally tuna and wheat crackers.

I try to stay away from the snack machine.

Can't do it. I either make the 5 minute commute home or go out. I see those asshats enough... don't want to even think about eating lunch with them.
