I eat lunch at my desk so that I can run errands or read in my car with my actual "lunch" time (which is more like 2:30 by the time I get around to remembering I should go get the dry cleaning, or whatever).

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I eat at my desk almost every day, too. A leftover from when I couldn't drive. Now, I'm just cheap.
I often sad-desk-breakfast it, too.
I am also Jesse! Our cafeteria delivers for free, which is nice. The food isn't that great. but hey! However, today I forgot to hit "submit" on my order, so I have to go find something, or wait another hour.
I have to eat Sad Desk Breakfast because I start work at 7am and have an hourlong commute. So I'm already waking up at 5:30 just to get to work on time. Adding breakfast to that would just be absurd.
(Plus, eating that early, I'd get hungry for lunch by 10am, and that would just snowball into eating an extra meal every day. So I keep peanut butter and english muffins in my office next to the toaster.)
I set fire to an english muffin in our office toaster oven once. Trauma!
My most frequent campus lunch is a summer burrito (it has ranch dressing and hot red chile salsa) from the taco truck. What can I say? It's tasty and I'm cheap. My favorite on campus is Lemonade, especially the lima bean salad, but that's a lot more spendy.
And all this talk is making me hungry for breakfast. Is it weird that I think I'm going to make a sandwich? That's not that weird for breakfast, right?
Dylan eats a peanut butter and jelly sandwich almost every day for breakfast - I say go for it.
Work starts at 7 am? Oy I feel for you, Jessica.
edited to add:
I say go for it.
I will, yes.
I always eat breakfast at work, because I eat with my meds, and although I don't feel like I get lightheaded on this stuff, better safe than sorry--I take it after the drive in, not before.. Lunch at my desk, because I can't be bothered to walk past either of the two lunch places in our complex, and I don't want to sit down to eat somewhere not my desk where half my co-workers are.
Nosy guy came by my desk yesterday. He made a grab for my wet tea leaves in the strainer, picked them up, smelled them, got water on my desk, and then started looking around for other stuff. I asked him why he felt the need to molest my desk and only my desk, and it at least slowed him down.
But the next time he came back, he announced that he was there to molest, so...not getting what I clearly couched in too much flippancy.
why is he touching your food items?
just ick.
