10. Pasta
Pasta is not a great workplace choice for a couple of reasons. One is that it is almost pure carbs. You will feel great for an hour or so after lunch, but then the crash comes.
Round about mid-afternoon you’ll find yourself super sluggish and wonder how you can possibly make it until quitting time. The other reason to skip the pasta is that it is pretty messy to eat.
The odds of getting sauce on your clothes is high, and unless you brought an extra outfit, you’ll be sporting that stain for the rest of the day. Not a great thing if you have a meeting.
