Your lunch is short, it’s scheduled by someone else, and it competes with copies, a parent email, and a kid who needs to talk.

Then you get home and the day isn’t over. This page plans both halves — the lunch you eat at your desk and the dinner nobody wants to cook at 5:40.
Set your teaching days and how the after-school hours actually go. The planner returns a lunch count, a dinner count, and a heads-up for the days that run long.
A teacher lunch has a hard start and a hard stop, a shared microwave, and a line. Anything that needs assembling, plating, or a second trip loses to the clock.
Planning one container per teaching day removes the part that actually fails — the packing, not the eating.

Duty, tutoring, coaching, and meetings push the first realistic eating window well past when you got hungry. That’s the window that turns into a drive-through.
The planner counts those days separately so you can carry a second portion on the days you already know will run long.
Sunday is when most teachers try to fix the whole week at once, and it’s also the only unscheduled block you have. Cooking a week of food into that block is a fair trade for some people and a bad one for others.
If you'd rather spend Sunday on the grade book, order the portions the planner gave you and keep the block.

Shared toasters, shared counters, and a potluck table make the staff room unpredictable if you eat gluten-free. Bringing your own meal is the part you control.
