2. Office lunch menu for busy people

Menu

• White rice
• Vietnamese pork sausage
• Boiled mustard greens

About this menu

For people who are short on time, preparing an elaborate meal becomes extremely difficult and stressful. That is why there are minimalist, super-quick menus for busy people that cut down the time spent cooking in the kitchen.

With the white rice and pork sausage menu, you can simply use pre-cooked rice divided into several portions and kept in the refrigerator. The pork sausage can be bought ready-made at supermarkets or local markets. Then, at mealtime, just reheat it and dip it in a little seasoning such as fish sauce or chili sauce, depending on your preference.

To keep your office lunch simple but still full of greens, you should boil some mustard greens to go with it. Or if you would rather not turn on the stove, you can stop by the supermarket and pick up a ready-made box of salad on the side.

3. Super quick and easy office lunch menu

• Stir-fried water spinach

About this menu

People with a healthy eating lifestyle who want to save time on lunch at the office can give priority to this menu. An omelet with spring onions is very simple and quick to make; it takes only 5 minutes to have a plate of delicious eggs.

Squeeze some lime into the boiling water or add a few dracontomelon fruits for a refreshing sour taste.

4. Office lunch menu for people who want to gain weight

Menu

• White rice
• Fried chicken thigh
• Beef stew with root vegetables

About this menu

A heavy workload and a tight schedule mean you cannot take care of your lunch at the office, yet you still want to gain weight. This is a real challenge for slim people who want a nutritionally complete meal.

So try to set aside time to make yourself a fried chicken thigh and a beef stew with root vegetables. These dishes do not take too long to prepare. For the fried chicken, season it with a little spice until it soaks in, then heat the oil for frying. Keep the heat low until the chicken turns golden, then flip it; while waiting for the chicken to cook, prepare the beef stew. Once the chicken is removed, put the beef on to stew with the root vegetables and set a timer so the stove turns off automatically when the food is done.

These dishes are very nutritious and help you gain weight more easily. So put your heart into your meals at the office!

5. Office lunch menu for people on a diet

Menu

• Boiled corn
• Grilled chicken breast
• 1 apple

About this menu

For people on a diet who want to lose weight, this menu is absolutely spot on. Many people choose to skip meals or cut out white rice and eat only vegetables or side dishes, but this approach leaves the body tired due to a lack of carbohydrates and is unscientific. So replace white rice with boiled corn, which belongs to the slower-absorbing carbohydrate group and has a reasonable calorie count. This dish is quick to make and needs no elaborate, time-consuming preparation.

Combine boiled corn with chicken breast to add protein to the body without the fat that causes weight gain. Besides chicken breast, you can substitute boiled eggs, steamed shrimp, steamed fish... as these are nutritious foods used for weight loss.

Finally, this office lunch menu ends with 1 apple for dessert. An apple a day helps supply the vitamins and fiber the body needs to stay healthy and full of energy!

With the 5 office lunch menus above, get into the kitchen and prepare yourself a quality meal. And if you are too busy and have no time for kitchen work, you can consider ordering office meals from outside.
