A little while ago, The Debrief gave you a work lunch meal planner. It told you that buying one set of ingredients on a Monday then preparing four different lunches for the rest of the week in your work kitchen is the future.
Enough with the pain of realising halfway to the tube that you forgot your carefully prepared lunch then resorting to eating it for dinner we said!
I am sure you have since followed said meal planner to. the. letter. You have become convinced it is a foolproof way to save your millions and basically end up looking like Gisele. As a result, you are now dying for a second installment so you can continue with your holier-than-thou existence which is almost definitely going to make you become the next Ottolenghi...
OR you are just still a bit skint, bored of eating the ingredients in the first planner or hated sweet potato in the first place.
Either way, here is a new meal planner to make your work lunches significantly less shit. Enjoy!
