For now. I think. Im still working flight if tjat says anything lol
 
This thread has me thinking about making something different:
Couscous with red lentil topped with chicken or beef garnished with lemon juice.

Good starch base and easily adjusted to be vegetarian friendly.

Maybe has room for a pepper sauce.
 
Some great ideas here guys! I am going to try that soylent stuff. Also I completely forgot rice and beans existed.
 
Buy a cooler or insulated lunch bag. On nights b4 a shift I make chicken/turkey/beef (whatever was on sale and I'll actually eat) and mix the meat w Indian type stew in the boxes ($2 from TJs) or broccoli or basmati rice/olive oil. So that or whatever creation goes into a reusable plastic food container. I add 3 or 4 hard boiled eggs and 2 apples to the lunch bag. Remember the fork. If you must have your food hot, at Post, use a 7-11 microwave or something but then you'll end up feeling like you have to buy something. If you do - buy a Quest bar or water. Both healthy (hi fiber/protein, low sugars). If you are vegan/veg or have tendencies toward that like I do, go to Sprouts and buy their bulk walnuts /macadamias or whatever.
I started doing this long ago and been losing lbs instead of gaining. Saves $ too.
 
I was wondering the same thing! I want to bring my own food so I dont OD on Burger King (yum). And I need recipe ideas. I"m assuming you keep salad dressing in a separate container so salad doesnt get mushy?
 
We have a nice kitchen at work. One of us cooks each shift, and you're expected to make a decent three course meal. As a youngish bachelor, it's done wonders for my cooking ability.

When I pick up SSM shifts in the city I just go to safeway and get a premade salad bowl. And coffee, because you know, appetite suppressors beat eating.
 
Tomorrow's my very first shift as a volunteer (I think I'm only allowed because I'm with my instructor and she vouched for me) and I'm bringing lamb stew in hopes that they're a microwave there. :)

I gave up on taking salads - they get gross too fast. I just use an insulated bag w one of those ice gel packs that stay cold all day. Or at least till I decided to eat -
 
What ever my wife packs me. Usually a salad with a side of an orange, carrot sticks. A fruit/veg smoothie. Or a sandwitch something along those lines. Left overs which I don't mind because my wifes an excellent cook. When I take I definitely feel way better at work. I've saved money and lost weight.

Quoted for troof.

You can lose weight working if you just eat what you pack and don't succumb to snack runs.
