A healthy working lunch - Alas!

A confession: however light I eat during the day, it seems to not make any difference to my weight. It is steadily moving northwards. A desk-and-a-chair job makes is difficult to contrive situations where one can dash about flinging calories hither-thither. A measured approach to lunch (while barely picking at a breakfast) should have (un)worked off much of the adipose. Alas!
A typical lunch is two chapattis, a small bowl of yellow daal and one small bowl of dry veggies. What i would have liked for lunch is not substantially different: A bowl of boiled and soupy masoor daal with chopped onions and chillies and a dash of lemon; a bowl of diced cucumbers and tomatoes with lemon and salt dressing; and a dry brown slice of toast. This would have made me feel sorry though not miserable.

But where to get such miserly meals at work? The canteen guys are anyway overworked. It may be a good idea to be in the Canteen Committee and design the 'Diet Menu' for everyday.....
