Since I get an hour for lunch every day, and home is just a 10 minute bike ride from my office, I try to eat in as many days out of the week as possible. But, with all the great places to eat in downtown San Luis Obispo, it makes the choice each day very hard to make.

I don’t know about you, but lunch is the sneakiest robber of my money. Even if I decide just to drink a smoothie, Jamba Juice manages to pull a good chunk from my budget each month.

And then there’s the dilemma of deciding exactly what to eat. If I eat at home, the options are less satisfying – usually leftovers or a traditional turkey on wheat sandwich. That’s why I have a hard time eating at a deli-I feel bad spending the money when I know I have the ingredients at home to make the same thing. If I do eat downtown, it’s usually Thai, Sushi, or a juicy hamburger.

Do any of you pack your lunches, and if so, when do you get the time to pack it? Do you trust your office’s community fridge?

What about those of you who don’t eat lunch on your break? I know some people who go to the gym for their hour. How the heck does that work?
