Working remotely in Venice offers flexibility and quality of life—but without structure, it’s easy to lose energy, eat irregularly, and overspend on food.

The solution is a weekly healthy lifestyle system built around meal prep, local suppliers, and smart planning.

This guide shows how remote workers in Venice can stay healthy, productive, and organised—without relying on supermarkets or daily cooking.

Why Remote Workers Need a Weekly Food System

Remote work often means:

long hours sitting
irregular meal times
reliance on bars or take-away
low protein intake
food waste

A weekly system removes daily decision-fatigue and supports:

stable energy
better focus
fitness goals
Wellbeing
budget control

Daily Meal Structure for Remote Workers

Breakfast (Same Every Day + skip days)

A consistent breakfast saves time and mental energy.

Natural yogurt (white, no sugar)
Mixed seeds (chia, flax, pumpkin, sunflower)
Seasonal fruit
Add local honey, no sugar

Ready in minutes, high in nutrients, ideal before focused work sessions. It is ideal to buy the big 1KG yogurt for 3,50€ and divide it for the full feel instead of paying for each breakfast outside 5€ or individual unhealthy yogurts with added sugar for 2€ each.

Furthermore, adding seeds adds vital nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, fibres and much more. In this way: no more dizziness, drowsiness but sharp focus and high energy for the full week with numerous long term health benefits.

Lunch (Main Energy Meal)

Lunch fuels productivity.

Protein (fish, eggs, legumes, meat)
Carbohydrates (rice, farro, wheat, pasta)
Seasonal vegetables

This is the meal you meal prep in advance and focus on portions-sizes.

Dinner (Light & Recovery-Focused)

Dinner supports digestion and sleep. Soups and broth in the winter are highly versatile and contribute to a healthy lifestyle and wellbeing.

Protein
Vegetables
Minimal carbohydrates

Often based on basic broths with added protein easily digestible.

Weekly Rhythm: How to Organise Food in Venice

Weekly Home Delivery (No Supermarket needed)

Once per week, suppliers such as Sant Erasmo or Donna Gnora deliver fresh fruits, vegetables, and wheat directly by gondola directly to your home.

This replaces supermarket shopping and provides:

seasonal and local produce
grains and wheat products
No mono-produced, no GMOs imported produce

Ideal for remote workers with limited time and storage. Healthy, fresh and colourful real food available without any hassle.

Support local producers and eat healthy!

Fresh Protein from Local Markets

Protein is sourced intentionally:

Rialto Fish Market for sardines, anchovies, mackerel
Local butcher for lean meat, eggs, bones for broths
Proteins for vegetarians such as beans, eggs and much more

Talking directly to suppliers helps control portions, quality, and cost. Switch from meat to fish protein sources more often. The fish in Venice is very fresh and especially “pesce azzurro” is very healthy.

Meal Prep Basics: Broths, Sauces & Freezing

Cook Basics Once per Week

At the start of the week:

Breakfast bowls with portioned ingredients
vegetable broth (from scraps)
optional fish or bone broth
1–2 healthy sauces (pesto, yogurt-based)
Treats such as self-made prepped cake-mix
Healthy pancake mix

These basics allow fast meals without daily cooking.

Portion & Freeze Immediately

After cooking:

divide meals into single portions
freeze half
label containers

This guarantees healthy food even on busy workdays.

Fitness, Focus & Protein Intake

Remote workers benefit from consistent protein intake.

General guideline:

1.2–1.5 g protein per kg body weight
spread across 2–3 meals
prioritise fish, eggs, legumes

You don’t need daily tracking—weekly consistency is enough.

Budget Control & Zero Waste

To save money:

buy seasonal only
freeze food immediately
reuse ingredients through broths and sauces
plan portions before shopping

Less waste = more control.

Final Thought

A healthy remote lifestyle in Venice depends on structure, rhythm, and local supply chains.

With a weekly system, healthy food supports your work—not the other way around.

Remember eating is about pleasure not discipline. A good system will help you with your flow and support you in navigating without decision-fatigue. Eating out or organizing a lunch with friends in encouraged and a good base setup will help you get back to your healthy flow without a hassle.
