    Driver I eat outta my truck and pull into Walmart once a week and restock some, always have left overs.I stock up on produce. But if your liking more home cooked type stuff get a crockpot like me, I can let it cook up like chicken soup, beef stew, a host of other things, and hey takes me like 20 mins to throw it all in crockpot, and I get like 3 dinners off mine. I do have a small George Foreman grill which is extremely healthy cooking I use, got a microwave n toaster to. You can like cook up some chicken thighs in 20 mins on GF grill and heck last me a couple days chicken salads,, sandwiches, even tacos, I use soft she'll ones, hey makes good chicken tacos. Got a fridge in my truck it has a small freezer section in it. But hey driver, if none of that interest you, go for Subway sandwiches, least that's better then your Pringles chips, also stop and get yourself a bag of fruit..like apples, oranges, plums, cheeries, these are all good for you. You can also buy cereals and have a bowl of cereal, your going to hurt your health if you continue like that...you have many options...I also stop off now and then at those farmers selling fruit and vegetables at their stands. ..Lotta variety at many of them. ..in TX.and several other southern states i get a melon,etc. Just trying to help you out is all driver

    I get paid by the hour so a slow steady pace is in my best interest. But you're right the young cowboy's I work with run flat out and more often then not cannot keep the pace and either get hurt or burned out and quit.

    I would much rather get together and shoot the bull about anything OTHER than talking about the job, when eating. Seems like a good time to relax, and how can you relax if you are thinking about things that piss you off?
