As many of you who are following my vlog know I am out of the house most days of the week for 16-18 hours a day. To avoid eating fast food I pack all of my stuff with me. Here's how I do it!

Neat video....gave me some nice ideas (I don't leave the house but always looking for meal ideas)0

That's a huge lunch box! I have a hard time fitting just my lunch in mine lol and all it is is like tuna salad, chips and a snack0

Kinda remind me of how my Mum used to pack my lunch, when I ate lunch, anyway.
Bravo.0 -
Good stuff! Doesn't seem like much food @ all tho for a guy your size??0
-
AWESOME! Not only do you have variety BUT you have everything portioned out. Great ideas! Thanks for sharing!0

This is great! So many people say that they don't have time to be healthy but you're proof that it just takes a little extra foresight and planning.0

Cool! I need a big bag like that!
How much protein powder is that?0 -
Your lunch bag is about same size as mine and the foods are close. I had to laugh when you pulled out the almonds (I do 15 per serving) and then you got the V8 juice. I LOL'd out loud. If I didn't know better I would think you were into my lunch/dinner foods. I eat most of my food while I am working. I do eat my breakfast at home, but the rest is at work. so I have lunch,dinner, and a couple snacks.
Great minds think alike

I add a little lemon juice to my baggie of sliced apples. I don't know what he does, but I will pre bag up my snacks ahead of time. Like 4 or 5 bags at one time of crackers, almonds. I buy mango and weigh it out to 3 oz's and put those from the scale right into baggies. I do the same with my cantulope.. measure it out 1 cup and dump from measuring cup into baggies. then all I have to do is grab the bags, throw into my lunch bag and out the door I go.0 -
You are very organised and I am glad to hear you eat similarly most days, I do too and it helps me keep on track. Thanks for the video will shamelessly copy some of your ideas

Great questions! I prep all of the non-perishables on Sunday afternoons, and also grill all of my chicken then too. The only thing I do daily for prep is chop my veggies, put together my chicken lunch (gotta chop chicken too) and portion out any sauces/dressings.
The apples actually don't turn brown as long as I baggie them right away. If I forget to eat them they are still good the next day!0 -

All that food is actually a little over 1800 calories! Plus I get another 300+ from my morning shake, and whatever I eat before bed when I get home.0 -

About 40G. That's the EAS 100% Whey.0 -

Funny! Yes, great minds!0 -
Love this!! Thanks for posting.
My daily lunch bag is similarly packed. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you pull each item out and laughed when many were similar to what I bring with me each day.
My question is what do you do on the weekends??0 -
I pack my lunch like that as well, sometimes I forget to bring my tupperware home which drives me nuts.
Great video, thanks for sharing!0 -

On weekends I just eat whatever's around the house, or my wife and I will go out to eat. I really don't count calories/macros on weekends, I just make sure not to go nuts and try to stay within my limits :bigsmile:0 -
Very good video, good ideas.
Tori Hunter is ours now in Detroit! You will get to watch him play in the World Series this year!0 -
Great ideas, thank you!0
