I worked bedside nursing. Where i worked we always had extra food trays patients didn't want, meaning I could get up to 2 meals a shift for free.

On paper prohibited but where I worked at this was very extended, convenient and fast.

Changed workplaces and I cannot get any free food anymore. I simply don't know what to bring to the workplace.

If its of any help I like cooking stews, but it's gonna be a hassle to bring that to the workplace. And to bring a sandwich or buy one at the cafeteria? I'll pass.

If you've got access to a microwave, I've found rice dishes quite convenient, like for example a lentil curry. They generally re-heat without tasting worse and the rice traps the moisture, so even if your container isn't 100% sealed, you're unlikely to get mess everywhere.

(Though I'd still recommend getting a properly sealed container. Personally, I also transport my food in a separate cloth bag, so that if it should ever leak, I can just wash that bag.)
