Eating clean while driving over the road?

I eat truck stop food and just exercise outside the truck from spring to fall. I take a sabbatical from exercising in the winter because it gets too #### cold in the Midwest.

 

You can cook on any number of things. Coleman white gas stoves even. You mostly will want to cook outside if you use gas or fry. Instant pots are alright and have tons of recipes. Air fryers can cook most things. Hot plates or induction cooktop are fine too. Even a 17" Blackstone griddle. The biggest investment is time. If you're driving recap then you probably have enough since you're not working 14 hours a day. This meal took me an hour and a half from parking to having everything clean and away. That's with an on truck water pump since I'm always away from truck stops.

Honestly it's pretty hard, especially if you have anything else in the truck like a dog. Everything is time.

 

Just thinking. Air fryer would be quicker. I'm probably going to get an air fryer.

 

Quick salad, pepper, celery, tomatoes, cucumber, oil, salt pepper. With 2 eggs and some mayo. Walmart has nice egg cooker for $8 it’s electric, cooks eggs in 14 minutes.
In morning I eat tuna salad with wheat bread. Or oatmeal with nuts and dry fruits.
Lunch I try to eat soup. Walmart has good ones.

 

Wow. 3 meals a day and I would be feeling bloated and pooping 3 times a day, not to mention getting very fat.
Coffee in the morning, a light snack mid day, then a good meal at night is all I can manage to endure.

 

That is my preferred work schedule, just so I have time to cook that nice evening meal.

 

Agreed -- much easier to maintain a healthy weight when it's only one true meal a day. As long as it's relatively healthy food, it's hard to eat enough in one sitting to go much over maintenance calories.

 

If you eat junk then sure you’ll feel bloated. 3 small light meals

One true meal a day is how you’ll slow down your metabolism and gain weight. Small meals throughout the day will make you feel better and you won’t explode like en elephant in weight. I gained more weight being a service manager at dealership than I did in trucking.

 

I used to do that and now I have gerd. Laying down on a full stomach felt good for most of my life. No longer.

 

If I don’t eat 2 times a day I can’t function. Once a day makes me lazy and gives acid reflux. I guess everyone is different. All I know is that a friend that is a mechanic who eats once a day and stuffs himself, weighs almost 300lb when I’m at 175
