    In what way? Portability? Protein? Calorie content?

    Have you tried poached or scrambled?

    Seriously dude, what's wrong with eggs? 90 calories each, easy to make, easy to carry.

    Are you just burnt out?

    Why haven't you filled out your profile or made your food diary public?

    Ha @tincanonastring I was going to say the same thing.

    Seriously though, depends on what you are going for. I needed protien in my lunch today so I added an oz of Havarti with some turkey pepperoni to go along with my soup and broccoli and hummus. That has 15g of protien between the two. If you want a ton of protein try cottage cheese or greek yogurt.

    Maybe he doesn't want to, his choice.

    If it's the protein you're looking for, sometimes I just pack turkey on a wrap or chicken sausage. Sometimes I just want oatmeal, and I make up for my lack of protein later. I have learned to eat all kinds of foods for breakfast (not just breakfast foods)

    I keep my diary private because it's usually not relevant to any questions I ask and people have a tendency to check out the diary to answer my question.

    I was just wondering what other foods I could replace with my Hardboiled eggs (nutritional wise) because I'm bored of eating them everyday. Simple answer.

    Literally any other food. Anything besides eggs would be an alternative for eggs.

    Greek yogurt

    Beef jerky

    Handful of nuts

    Assuming protein is goal

    A few higher protein options that are easy to pack are canned/pouch tuna, cottage cheese, and yogurt. Greek style yogurt usually has the highest protein but there are not greek yogurts that are pretty good protein-wise too.

    If you are not vegetarian, meat seems the simple answer.

    I bring hard boiled eggs or canned chicken or tuna to work and add them to my salad. Or sometimes I chop up some other meat left over from dinner. Having a little leftover steak makes for a yummy salad!

    If I remember right, you want to eat enough but healthier on a crazy shift schedule. And you are trying to eat a little more so you don't faint. So you need portable nutrient dense foods. Try a protein bar, beef jerky, cheese sticks.

    Tin tuna, poached chicken breast, jerky, nuts, cottage cheese, Greek yoghurt, chia pudding, cheese sticks. You could also put some mustard or mayo on the eggs to change the taste up.
