    yea, that's how I eat, I dont do it if the food isn't incredibly greasy, but fried chickens and other fried food, I will do it, what's so strange about it? I think it's a great idea.

    Why not eat a salad or something baked. Don't overeat and stay away from TS that have a fast food joint for a restaurant. I am a rookie just starting out and know that the few weeks with a trainer is going to be the most difficult to manage eating habits. I have lost over 35 pounds avoiding anything fried for the last 6 months. I also practice portion control that is hard to do in restaurants. Bottom line, I plan to eat most of my meals in the truck and reward myself with an occasionally meal out.

    This is what use to stay healthy when I eat....i have a small single electric burner, small pan, coleman cooler, and eating utencils. After I cook up a nice chicken filet and heat up some corn or flour tortillas along with some killer salsa, i'll have me the best chicken tacos around. Sometimes i'll throw in some sour cream. Raw chicken i've discovered stays good for about 5 days in the coleman cooler. Make sure to cover your cooler with a thick towel, and the chicken needs to be prepared with lemon juice and salt, so it can stay good for a couple extra days.

    Since the poll was worded "Cheaper?", the poll should have been set up as an either/or rather than as it was set up (it was setup such that 1 voter could answer 1 or the other or both). That is why it currently shows 92.XX% voted for one choice and 17.YY% voted for the other choice which is approximately 109% of the votes cast.

    Breakfast: I pack those frozen biscuit sandwiches. They thaw out in my fridge and since they can be stored refrigerated, I take a couple, wrap them in foil and put them on the intake manifold. An hour or so they are warm and ready to eat. Better than microwaving them which makes them soggy.

    Lunch: I pack sandwich stuff and makes me a sammich.

    Dinner: I usually get something from the restaurant or fast food joint wherever I'm parked. If no restaurant, I make another sandwich.

    Snacks: yogurts, string cheese, nuts.

    Drinks: bottled water (I get the dasani 32 pack when they have them at walmart) half gallon of milk and a 12 pack of Pepsi One.
