Being vegetarian at work can be a challenge. From team lunches to group outings, finding something, anything suitable to eat, not to mention reminding everyone turkey is meat, eating (and eating well) at the office, as a vegetarian, can be a meaty task (no pun intended here).

My $0.05: I’ve worked with many vegetarians, and I can recall a few instances when they were literally out of food options. I remember a welcome lunch for a new team member at a Brazilian rotisserie, and of course, she was a vegetarian and…hungry! For all the vegetarians at work, plan, plan, plan ahead of time! Check menus, remind meeting organizers of your diet, and if all else fails, always have a snack on hand!

What is your experience with being / having a vegetarian on the team at work?
