Thread: Tips for taking food to school and work.

for me I always found that cooking the proteins and carbs at the beginning of the week is key, very easy to fill in the gaps to complete your meals once you have that stuff already cooked. personally I don't reheat meat in the microwave, I eat it cold and just nuke my carbs and veggies. depending on the meal I might add the protein into the heated carbs to warm them up a little.

I chop up brocoli and keep it in a bowl of water in the fridge

hard boiled eggs are good

protein shake in a thermos

tubs of cottage cheese

(1.) Buy and cook meat in bulk, portion (with scale is ideal) individually, then freeze. Meat - check.

(2.) Carbs: say in a day you eat a bagel, some potatoes, and some pasta. Wrap all the bagels for the week on Sunday night and put them in the fridge. Cook all your potatoes and pasta on Sunday night, portion, and they're done. You can freeze pasta with the sauce in the tupperware. Not sure how well potatoes freeze. I usually cook them for 4 days in advance.

(3.) Veges: make salads on Sunday night for the entire week. Brocolli? Portion it all individually.

(4.) Eggs: I usually do these the night before, but hard boiled is a more convenient way for sure.

(5.) Milk in empty water bottles.

(6.) Cottage cheese in small tupperware.

(7.) Also, if you supplement with any kind of oil you can take it in the morning before you leave home. Quick, easy, healthy calories.

When I went to work, I brought a container of yogurt, and a seperate mini container of wheat germ. when was ready to eat, I peeled off the yogurt lid, and then sprinkled some wheat germ on top. It tasted pretty good.

I sometimes would cut up some carrots and cauliflower and put those in a container. and in a seperate small container, would have my fave Ranch dressing to dip them in.
Also I would have a few plain slices of raisin bread with it.

buy almonds in bulk and throw a bag in with your lunch.

I also have a steamer and steam eggs while I shower for work

Steamed eggs? what the hell is that?

You can make scrambled eggs in about 1m10s in the microwave.

I also used to make a muesli of oats, whey protein, yogurt, blueberries, and strawberries. Put it into a container and take it to class with me. It's good for at least an hour or so.

I think he means a Cleveland steamer.
