Please help me plan a way to convert my nutrition regimen to truck living.

You will be a little restricted on space but should be able to store ample amounts of food. Good to have some emergency stash especially in the winter. Always keep a few gallons of water for emergency too.

Your best friend is going to be Walmart. Most are just off the interstate and can be accessed by big trucks. There are a few here and there that don't allow big trucks but you learn which ones do and don't. There are also thousands of farmers markets out there in which you can stock up at.

You can definitely have a fridge in the truck. The size of the fridge is going to be reliant upon what kind of truck you are issued. I had a pretty good size dorm fridge I picked up at Office Supply. Some of the truck manufacturers like Volvo sell specific fridges for their trucks. I actually took one of the cabinets out of my truck so that we could fit a big fridge and microwave on top. I have also seen a driver that took out their passenger seat and put a full size refrigerator in their truck!

You can outfit your truck with all kinds of stuff like fridge, microwave, crock pot, toaster oven, george foreman grill, flat screen, dvd, etc... you get the point. A lot of this stuff they make especially for the big trucks but you can also find all kinds of good stuff at R.V. stores! Also Walmart has all kinds of crap, not necessarily for trucks but you could make it work.

A lot of drivers have BBQ's too! Just strap it to your catwalk or some fold up and you can put in your side box. Exercise equipment can be stored this way too.

You mentioned oat meal and that was my breakfast of choice. I would buy those red solo cups and eat my oatmeal out of them. Just pour in a little water and your good to go. I ate mine cold but you can easily run into the truck stop and get hot water out of the coffee machine or sink. This saves from having to do dishes and such.

 

We drive team, east coast. A "Do not give ground. It takes 10 times the effort to gain it back." An ol military maxim shared by a friend many years ago. But has many other life applications. Such as that extra piece of dessert. We are on the carbohydrates addicts diet. So light on bread. Stock enough veggies, meat, cheese, and ect for aweek. Plus have frozen quart meals in 12V chest freezer. Largest 12Vtruck frige that truck frige has. Use aof microwave, 12V oven, crockpot, and olthe 12V camper perk (to1 heat water forsmell french press). Meal cost per week for 2 about $100. But someone has to be able to do meal prep whilst roling. Enter into rolling hell's kitchen. Lucky for us that we have a good apu. Many weeks we rarely do over 2200 miles. Yes we have a select customer base. We do eat out about once a week, and are able to get enough leftovers for another meal, in a zip and steambag.

 

Thing about oatmeal is the instant packaged kind has had all of what makes oatmeal do healthy destroyed. You need whole oats, and those are ground. Get steal cut oats for the best benefit. However, those must be cooked unless you're okay with the taste of raw oats.
