Tips on eating breakfast at the office

Back in my call center days, I was always on the night shift kaya eating breakfast was like my last meal of the day. Parang yun na ang pang gabihan ko tpos, byahe na pauwi na dahil borlogs na pagkatapos. I always skip lunch, tapos ang dinner time ko naman halos 9 to 10pm na ng gabi.  So it was such a delight when finally after years of working sa gabi naka lipat na ako ng work where I have regular morning shifts kaso nga lang ang nangyayari ay nakaka limutan ko nang mag umagahan. Yung tipong kape nalang ang umagahan ko hanggang mag lunch time na. dto pa naman sa sa middle east, lunch break will usually start at 1:00pm so imagine kung ilang oras ka nang nag nagttrabaho ng kape or tsaa lang ang nasa tiyan mo?.

One thing I have learned is how important Breakfast is. You can honestly feel the difference kung kakain ka sa umaga tapos mag ttrabaho ka. Mas may energy and pag dating ng lunch break hndi ka pa masyado gutom so less ang kakainin mo. Di tulad pag walang kain-kain sa umaga tapos mag tanghalian ka. Mas mabigat sa tiyan hanggang gabi.

At dahil office girl ang peg ng lola nyo, let me give you tips on eating breakfast in the office.

1. Always drink water first before anything else – may scientific explanation yan, kaso nitatamad na ako mag google search so follow nyo nalang. Promise mas maganda ang epekto sa’yo nyan.

2. Personal Mugs/Cups – you should have your own mug/cups with you sa office. Especially kung mahilig kang mag coffee or tea in the morning. Ako kasi I still can’t remove the feeling na maraming gumagamit ng mga baso if you will be using the common mugs provided by the office.

3. When eating breakfast at your workstation, still apply table manners – Oo naman, dapat nga mas conscious ka pag kumakain ka sa workstation mo kasi mas marami nakaka kita sayo. I am fortunate enough to work in a company that allows their employees to eat at their stations kaya in return I need to maintain proper cleanliness. I also make sure that I always have tissues or wet wipes handy just in case of spills or crumbs.

4. Limit your eating time to atleast 10 or 15 mins. Only – kahit naman nasa table ka lang kumakain, try to limit it lang kasi aminin man natin sa hindi, talented lang na mga tao ang nakakapag multi-task na nagttrabaho habang kumakain.

5. Breads, sandwiches, fruits, etc. – for me my daily breakfast routine is 2 packs of 3in1 coffee mix, a sandwich or paratha and lots and lots of water. (I do try to consume atleast 3 liters a day). Rice is actually a great booster of energy in the morning but we tend to eat it only sa pantry. Mahirap na sa table at hndi lahat ng tao game sa smell ng mga pagkain nating Pinoys.

Well that is basically it for now, tignan ko kung may mga maisip pa akong tips and tricks on my next blog. Happy Eating…… BAS!!
