    Thanks everyone, your right day by dayI"ll make my adjustments.....need to go shopping. I have quit chewing tobacco for 3 months, that's why I chew a lot of gum, I have quit drinking soda,replaced with zero's and unsweeten tea. Do make a big salad but use a lot of dressing so that's why my cals are high....I could eat meat and potatoes all the time....

    My dad use to be a truck driver and i use to fix his meals for him. I would pack a ton of apples and veggies for him. I see that missing on your lists. I made him sandwiches w/wheat bread. Most importantly though veggies and fruits. Keep your mind occupied. Dvd movies, songs, etc. Good luck and be careful on the road.

    I know how hard it is to eat while on the road... When my husband and I were doing long haul we would try to stop at walmart as much as possible. We would get whole wheat bread, cold cuts, beef jerky, nuts, fruits, granola bars, tuna, rice cakes, crackers, already boiled eggs, etc.. It is hard to eat healthy on the road, but once we got a refrig it did help some.

    Please help me! View my diary.....I'm a truck driver,with 2270 calories....and I'm staving and ready togo off!
    You need more protein in the morning. Make an omlet with 1 whole egg and 1/2 cup of egg whites ( I know it sounds gross but its not and you can have so much for not a lot of calories) Add tons of veggies, Frozen peppers and onions, spinach, tomato, mushrooms. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of shredded cheese. Put it on a low carb bread or tortills. Pepperidge farm has a few different kinds or a Mission low carb tortilla. When you have fruit eat lower carb friuts like cantalope, strawberries or 1/2 apple or banana. You will feel full longer if you eat protein in the morning. You have to do some work to find substitutions for the things you eat that are high in calories, fat and sodium. Enter different things before you eat them. This is what I ate yesterday. See if it helps

    The things that help a lot are protein (shoot for at least 1 gram per pound of bodyweight) and fiber (at least 30 grams) The way to get that is lean meats and lots of veggies. When out of the house and traveling around, I will often eat through a bag of carrots. It doesn't add that many calories, but man it is filling. As mentioned, drink lots of water although as I trucker that will be a pain since it will result in the need to pee more often.
