amatherly81608

Hey guys I drive locally for a trucking company and I need some ideas to pack for a cooler.. I have 2010cal I can eat everyday and have already eaten 500cal for lunch, "banquet chicken strips with some honey mustard sauce" I know it's not exactly great but it was quick and I'm busy today.. last couple nights I've been making a salad with some shredded cheese and like 8 croutons along with 2 packs of pistachios.. I added it up to round out 900cal for everything. I've completely got rid of soda except for 1 diet coke a day. I'm about 4 days in I'm doing pretty well

Diet soda won't hinder weight loss (it is zero calories).


As for what to pack, these are things that I put in my cooler for work-individual cheese sticks, individual sugar free jello, cut up chicken with olives, cut up apples with individual packs of peanut butter, apple sauce etc.

I do sandwiches for work much of the time when I don't want to microwave. Yogurt, cheese slices. Tomatoes with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and feta cheese. Wraps are nice too. Spinach with chopped peppers, cucumber, tomato, shredded cheese, and some dressing.

Things that pack well in a cooler and can be eaten underway include grapes, baby carrots, string cheese ...

I just had to make a 4 day trip. I mostly improvised since it was stupid short notice but I grabbed some canned goods that I already had since they would keep, chicken breast, black beans, and succotash. I ate those if I couldn't find something appropriate.

Now, planning ahead with a cooler, I am thinking fruit, hard boiled eggs, salad, a sandwich...

I was on the road for 7 hours today. Protein bars, beef jerky, coffee and diet soda for me Relatively low calorie, high protein, and delicious.

I had a 3 hour commute every Sunday of the summer. It was the worst; I got so bored driving. Munching kept me alert. I packed lots of raw veggies- especially celery because it is fun to crunch. And also gum.
