Teleworking: 5 easy and balanced meal ideas to stay in shape

Need inspiration for eating better while working remotely? Here are 5 ideas for simple, quick, and balanced meals to help you stay fit and productive throughout the day.

When you work from home, it's tempting to snack on anything between meetings or skip lunch due to lack of time. The result: fatigue, lack of concentration, and indigestion.

Whether you're working remotely or at the office, your diet has a direct impact on your energy and efficiency. No need to be a chef or spend hours in the kitchen: here are 5 ideas for quick, healthy, and delicious meals to help you take care of yourself without wasting time.

1. The complete bowl: practical, fast and customizable

It's the ideal solution for a balanced meal in just a few minutes:

• A base: wholegrain rice, quinoa, lentils or wholegrain pasta
• Vegetables: raw, grilled or steamed (carrots, cucumbers, spinach, etc.)
• A source of protein: egg, chickpeas, tuna, tofu or leftover meat
• A light sauce: lemon yogurt, hummus, olive oil & lemon

💡 Prepare ingredients in advance to save time during the week.

 

2. The express vegetable omelet

Ultra simple, quick to make, and full of good things:

• Beat 2 to 3 eggs
• Add finely chopped vegetables (tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, etc.)
• Cook in a pan for 5 to 7 minutes with a drizzle of olive oil

Serve with a slice of wholemeal bread and a handful of raw vegetables for a light but satisfying lunch.

 

3. The balanced homemade wrap

Perfect for eating in front of the computer without making a mess (but we still recommend a proper break!):

• A wheat or corn pancake
• Fresh cheese or hummus
• Crunchy raw vegetables (grated carrots, salad, avocado, etc.)
• A protein: hard-boiled egg, grilled chicken, or falafels

Roll it up, cut it in half, and enjoy!

 

4. Comforting soup meal

In winter or when motivation is low, a good soup can work wonders. To make it complete:

• A base of mixed vegetables (squash, leeks, carrots, etc.)
• Legumes (lentils, kidney beans)
• A crunchy topping: seeds, homemade croutons or grated cheese

Tip: Prepare a large quantity on Sunday for several days.

 

5. Cold lunch bento

Inspired by the Japanese lunchbox, it's a fun and balanced way to put together your meal:

• Compartments with cereals, vegetables, proteins
• A small portion of fruit or compote for dessert
• Some nuts or seeds for satiety

Ideal if you like to have everything at hand, like in the Ergobox.

 

Eat better, work better

🕒 Take a 20-30 minute real lunch break
