What's for lunch at work?

Have you ever wondered what everyone else does for lunch? Do you ever spy on the guy/gal next to you and see what's in the brown bag? Do you think about the cost of eating out everyday? At Golling's we have about 50 employees. Next week we are polling everyone at the office to see what they do for lunch. The outcome should be appetizing :) Come back for photos, tips, and stats!

A week later: First I'd like to thank everyone who agreed to participate in the survey and who followed through all week. I didn't anticipate that some people wouldn't want to share what they eat for lunch. Some people said they were too busy to write it down. Some people even said they didn't eat at work at all. Research shows that eating a healthy meal improves energy and brainpower, so anyone out there who skips a meal, please reconsider. This article, at Livestrong.com has a lot of info: why eat lunch.

When do we eat at Golling's Arena Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram?
20% of all lunches in the survey were eaten before the noon hour (I get hungry around 11:30am)
20% of lunches were eaten during the noon hour
39% of lunches were eaten after the noon hour (we have many employees who work until 7 or 8pm)
20% of the lunches didn't happen at all...WHAT...no lunch?

How do we get what we eat?
59% of lunches were packed
20% were bought
2% were paid for by the company
8% of lunches were eaten at home
10% were none of the above...no lunch at all

Lunch for one of the participants was a Mountain Dew...a can a day out of a 12-pack is .25 cents. This was by far our cheapest lunch...healthiest? NOT so Much!

How are they prepared? 
65% of lunches were cold
6% of lunches were cold and hot
18% of lunches were hot
10% were none of the above

51% of all lunches in the survey were healthy
39% of all lunches were not healthy
10% of all lunches were somewhat healthy (or had both healthy and no healthy items in them)

Duane is an independent Advocare representative. He is dedicated to a healthy life style and loves the energy and brainpower he gets from Advocare.  

20% of all lunches included a meal supplement drink
59% of all surveyed lunches include drinking water
10% of lunches included pop (ok, some people might not have divulged that info)
39% of all lunches in the survey included a healthy snack like an energy or granola bar either during lunch or before or after
57% of lunch days surveyed didn't include a snack during the day (I need a snack myself...) We have free popcorn in the office so its easy to grab a snack here!

Gary, One of Golling's Sales team members eats fruit every day. He says since he made the change he has more energy and brain power. (He definitely looks happy!)
