Workday Emergency Meal Checklist

Emergency meal checklist

• Find the nearest protein option.
• Add produce, beans, whole grains, or another fiber source if available.
• Choose a drink intentionally.
• Add enough food to avoid turning the next meal into a crisis.
• Use a convenience option without turning it into a character judgment.
• Write down one backup that worked so it is easier next time.

Good-enough examples

A grocery-store bowl, yogurt plus fruit and nuts, soup plus a sandwich, eggs and toast, beans and rice, tofu and noodles, leftovers, or a convenience meal with added produce can all be good-enough options.

The point is to reduce chaos, not to create a perfect emergency menu.
