    Drain garbanzo beans out the can and pot salsa on them. Acquired taste but it’s healthy

    That’s healthy and cheap too, however those beans got lots of carbs. I cut out beans and nuts for a long while. They are healthy etc, but just slows your process down a bit. The lower you take your carbs, the faster you shed the fat.

    I definitely haven't been eating as many beans as I did prior to getting on the road, but I'm starting to get closer to my pre-trucking consumption levels. I pretty much will just eat a 3rd of a can in a day, and I will put the extra back in the fridge in a Ziploc. Last meal I had with them (chick peas)I mixed with edamame based angle hair, fresh spinach, carrots, evoo, red wine vinegar, and Italian spices. Easy to make in microwave, and full of fiber, protein, and right around where I personally need my carbs to be

    Talking about healthy eating as they say "we are what we eat" many of us suffer as a consequence of eating the wrong foods, I came across a wonderful book called the "The Plant Paradox" written by Dr Steven Gundry I won't say to much as then there'd be no point in reading it, but it hints at reducing our intake of foods containing high amounts of Lectins. This Doctor also has a number of Youtube video's out that the general public can watch he's amazing just a thought for drivers out there on the roads, stay healthy and stay safe on the last day of 2022. And all the best for 2023.

    Training will suck for diet.

    After, you'll be good.

    I bring a day or two of fruits/veggies to orientation and pack some low sodium lentil vegetables.

    OTR it's bananas, apples, whole grain bread, cabbage, broccoli, jalapeños, radish, yogurt, whole grain crackers, whole milk, sardines, organic low sodium lentil soup... tortillas, cheese.

    I have a RoadPro cooker oven that somebody left on a snowy day by the fuel island. I cleaned it and it works!

    I tried a Road Pro crock pot, but it heated up for an hour then went cold. :(

    I keep rubbing alcohol and dish soap onboard for cleaning with paper towels and/or baby wipes.
