Good snack choices while on the road.

You’re local. Chewing gum. Something’s wrong if you feel that you have to constantly snack.

Find you a nice diner for lunch and get out of the truck. Hamburger steak with sautéed onions, real eggs and tomato slices with mustard. Hit the gym for an hour and go home. Today is a good day.

 

I have done flatbed and conestoga work for years and been eating high protein, high fat, low carbohydrate, no sugar. Best thing you can eat is red meat and eggs. That includes burgers when you throw out the bread and sugar. Drink water instead of truck stop fluids. Doing this even when strapping down lumber in the middle of summer kept me at full energy no matter how long ago I had eaten. I have gone over 60 something hours of fasting without feeling any faintness or other issues while working the entire time.

I do not take a single medication or pill of any kind. It is a big life style change, if that sounds like something you would like then look into the keto/carnivore diet.

 

Hell yeah pork and beans, black beans, all of em! That'd be pretty sucky if you're somewhere between El Paso and maybe Abilene and you had a wet one occur lol

 

Tuna salad and crackers are a decent semi-healthy option. I buy the prepackaged ones cause I don't have the self control for a box of crackers and a tub of tuna salad lol. The shame kicks in when I start contemplating box 3, so it limits itself. I don't really eat during the day, but I imagine they'd be somewhat filling as a mid day snack.

Rice pudding is relatively low calories for something a little sweeter.

Cucumbers, tomatoes, or any other vegetable with a little salt and pepper is always good.

 

Man I am a mark for tuna. I keep multiple cans in here, and bread. I'm with you, tuna is one of the best things to eat on the road. Sometimes I get the canned salmon too.

 

Speaking of tuna. I am sure everyone noticed how the subway has covered their meat section. I was told that the purpose of it was to help to keep the temperature down. Maybe that's the case but I suspect it was done to hide the looks of meat that might happen not to appear too fresh. Especially tuna was susceptible to unfresh looks. I don't classify the subway food as quite healthy but it is one of the better alternatives from all other fast foods.

 

Carrots/celery and hummus. Nuts (deez?), sunflower seeds.

 

That is a mental thing, not a job thing.

 

use a boatload of nicotine instead of food for like a week, then pick up heavy $#!÷, then go cold turkey on nicotine so the withdrawal hunger makes your body soak up calories like a shop vac for the hypertrophy repair. orrrr pig out for a week, then pick up heavy $#!÷, then use nicotine instead of food for the week after, so the hypertrophy repair is using autophagy trash to rebuild stuff (because fasting). works either way. fasting recovery is like pulling a cellular vacuum.

pork rinds and apples are the only thing you can eat with abandon without consequence, everything else is either salt overdose (jerkey), or carb overdose (chips). a handful of nuts at a time aren't low calorie but if you eat one at a time like a squirrel they are low calorie
