Being a veggie at work is as easy as anywhere else.
It will all depend on the place you work at and the equipment you’ll have at your disposal.
Your working place has a self-service
Many big companies have an intern self-service where you can have lunch. Usually, veggie options are available, and you can pick your food. If you are afraid that it will not be perfectly balanced, you can compensate with the dinner you’ll have at home.
Eat whatever you can at lunch and readapt your dinner according to it in order to be sure to get everything you need. It will always be a meal that you won’t have to prepare!
