i usually am too lazy to pack my own lunch. i spend around $7-12 depending on what im in the mood for that day. i had so much fast food over the years that the thought of going to one makes me want to hurl. i rather eat well and cut back on the spending else wheres, like going out on the weekends. o yeah, i get an hr lunch also.

if i don't bring a lunch, i can count on spending anywhere from $5-$15 on my 45-min > 1 hour lunches.

i usually pack my own lunch, and eat at my desk so that i don't have to count it as a break... i can take however long i want if i leave though, and i'll spend probably an average of $7 or $8

Lunch is set at an hour, but I usually don't take that long. Protein shakes 4 days/week, so about $.50 for milk. Usually go out on Fridays, so $6-8 then.

Technically my lunch is 30 mins but I take an hourish since I don't take the normal 15min smoke breaks everyone else abuses. Plus I can go home for lunch :)

I drive home and cook, although I could drive to one of our restaurants and eat for dirt cheap (I work in the corporate office of a large fast food chain).

Im pretty sure my weight would very quickly spiral out of control if I ate burgers every day, so I usually only go late at night when I'm drunk. Besides, it makes for an amusing scene when I come in trashed and ask for an employee discount because I work at headquarters.
