So I am in need of a bit of ....lunch assistance. I'm going back to working EMS after almost a year break next week. I start wednesday and have precept to go through still but when I finally get on a truck with a partner I am looking to take my own lunch with me. I attempted this once before but it was a bit of a nightmare as we worked in vanbulances, stationing in the vehicle and I was in the truck from 12 to 15 hours on average.
Now I'm starting again in a Vanbulance service with no specific station points (that I'm aware of, I haven't found out if they stay in their trucks or get specifics spots). I want to bring my lunch as A. I need to start eating alot better, and B. The county itself has only fast food and maybe a couple subway type places, not much options for lunch.
I need advice, what do YOU bring to sustain you through a day?
My requirements are cheap, fast, and easy to pack around. :wacko:
I'm looking for a good portion of ideas because I can't eat sandwiches every day or something similar, I'll burn out on it and start eating bad again.
The last time I did this I usually kept a giant bag of trail mix (almonds non salted, dried bananas, raisins, sunflower seeds unsalted, and a small amount of chocolate (about 1/2 of a hersheys chunked up for 1 gallon of mix). I would munch on that all day and it had so much variety that I could eat it pretty much without burning out.
Lets get the ideas flowing of things that are pretty portable, most of the websites I've looked at for health food lunch options don't take into account that not everyone has the luxury of a break room
I'm not a vegetarian but I'm open to all meal options.
