For
instance, could I eat cold eggs? If not what else is there?

Thanks!

Hardboiled eggs? A salad? Deli meat and cheese?

Aha! Hardboiled eggs are an excellent idea (one that I'm not sure why I
didn't think of).

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

you can eat cold eggs, cold meat, cold chicken, cold fish, cold nuts,
everything except maybe fatty soup can be eaten cold. Add chilled
vodka to it also.

I'm already eating cold meat for lunch (she complained about my hot dogs,
so I've been eating cold chicken and even salmon -- which is much better
warm). I'm trying to avoid two meals a day of cold meat. Nuts might not
be bad, though, but they're darn caloric. I may have to bring in yoghurt.

Eat nothing.

Do you have an office policy about this? I can understand accommodating
someone who has allergies to things such as perfume but I can't imagine eggs
smelling that bad.

I must say that your coworker is a disgusting control freak.

That may be true! However, I'd rather not make waves, as I've been here
only a few weeks and she's been here for years. Plus, it broadens my meal
options (although having only cold meals does present a challenge).

Is there a reason that you have to have breakfast at work? Maybe you
should consider changing your schedule?

I eat when I go to the gym. I'll be going to the gym 2-3 times per week
during the winter (twice to lift weights and once to replace biking on my
mountain bike with studded tires, such as when it recently snowed; I'm not
afraid of traction in the latter instance, but I am afraid of someone
hitting me). So, once I get to work, I eat. I can't really change my
schedule -- I have to go to the gym in the morning or else I will not go.
I'm not a night person, and I enjoy going to the gym when almost no one is
there.

There are plenty of things you can eat. Devilled eggs for example, and
some greens. Or just eat something non-breakfasty.

LC has really redefined "breakfast" for me. I eat breakfast to fill up,
and it's my largest meal of the day; this is more likely for me with
non-breakfasty food.

Well, I've definitely changed my breakfast after starting low carb. For
instance, "breakfast" isn't limited to just eggs and the like. Well, this
week, I'll be looking for some cold egg salad and devilled eggs recipes.

Some people *really* dislike the smell. My sister's one of them. Somehow
if we were quarreling I'd find myself with a strange craving for egg
salad. <g>

Still, I've got to agree that I don't see why her nose gets to control
what everyone else can eat.

I think this woman is just hypersensitive in the olfactory senses. She's
always saying things about smelling something. I don't mind changing my
eating habits a bit, if I can come up with things to eat. Hardboiled eggs
is a great idea, and one that I can easily implement and enjoy.

You wouldn't think eggs and hot dogs would be such a problem. Sardines,
OTOH ...

Or how about cold poached chicken breast with a little salsa?

Cucumbers in sour cream and a bit of tuna salad?

Cold roast beef rolled up with mayo and horseradish inside?

What's wrong with cold cereal? I eat Keto Crisp with blueberries and heavy
cream every morning.

Cereal is not low carb.

You're most considerate to want to accomodate her nose. I might ask her
what time she get to work and you get there before she does and get done
eating before she arrives if I wanted something hot that she doesn't like
the smell of. Don't you have a "break room" where the food is? If so,
does she stay in there when you fix your food? Just wondering why there
is even a problem. Most people's place of work is pretty good sized and
seems like you could be in a "different" place than she is.

But to answer your question... I've given my husband some jerky like stuff
...like dried Polish kielbasa. Our word is "kabanosy" and it is quite good.
Cheese slices, cucumber chunks, tomato slices, onions (🙂 on a
salad...maybe she likes that smell?) 🙂 Tuna salad makes a good "cold
meal" as well. The tuna salad is tuna in oil (drained), mixed with boiled
eggs, mayo and some cut up pickles with a little mustard, served on a
lettuce leaf. Would work for breakfast as well if taken in a little
plastic bowl. No need to reheat.

Or,a piece of cheesecake....🙂

You mean you eat your breakfast on company time -- while you're being paid
to work? Aren't you afraid of losing your job?
