I eat a lot of raw veggies.
Cooked (processed) foods tend to have higher sodium and fewer nutrients. If you need to set limits on what you eat, they may be beneficial, but less nutrition is the compromise.
Cabbage, celery, carrots, peppers are always in my mini fridge. I couldnt maintain a quality diet without refrigeration--and affordable. Truck stop food is ghastly and leads to the 50+% obesity among truck drivers. Bad news.
Whole grain bread, bananas, apples, natural protein drinks (NO SUCRALOSE OR OTHER NO-SUGAR CANCER CHEMS).
Sucralose is a NAZI sugar, chlorinated sucrose to amplify sweetness. NEVER. Side effects include inflammation.
Pre cooked meals

No precooked meals for me. I cook all my meals, which means I pretty much only eat once a day.
I also try to keep it healthy, using lots of venison, chicken, onions, peppers, and brown rice. 20 minutes and I can have a good healthy meal, with no processsed foods. -

I get a cheeseburger every week or two. I keep whole milk in my frudge most of the time, too.
But I do eat a lot like a vegetarian.Side pipes Thanks this. -
Raw cabbage is great.

There’s several outfits now that prepare gourmet or home-cooked meals, often very healthy choice oriented, they ship frozen overnight directly to your door and they come in freezer ready packages. So you can freeze them and take them on your truck. I’ve tried a few of these different companies that offer this and I must say the food is pretty good. At least the ones I’ve tried so far. However, running between $6-$9 a meal, It adds up quick. When I try and do is have my own breakfast that I cook and snacks and my lunch or whatever and then use one of these ready to eat gourmet meals for my dinner. Still cheaper to cook yourself if you know how to do that though.

Bananas, apples, raisens, prunes, whole cashews, whole grain bread, whole grain crackers, organic OWYN protein shakes. These are staples throughout the day. I eat pru es as a dinner dessert though after my spicy cabbage cheese tacos. Currently adding radish and jalapeño and Luchito salsa macha to the tacos.
All veggies day to day are raw for maximum nutrition (cooking reduces vitamins) and minimal time prep.
I'll eat a few crackers or slices of bread with either a banana or apple and cashews.
Eating 2 -3 mini meals while driving so I just stop for work events like fuel, loading, unloading.Attached Files:
