Thread: Eating on the go tips please

Make everything first, and put it in plastic containers and bring it with you.

okay I am currently in contest prep, working, and I have a 2year old. So here is what I do.......I cook a batch of chick/fish however you like. Sometimes I cook chick in crockpot cover with water and any saltfree seasoning let cook, or rotissere, or grill etc.......fish oven/grill. Then I measure out what I need and put in containers in fridge. I cook a batch of brown rice, sweet potato fries measure out put in fridge. If I have to eat it cold then so be it.........I always carry this tote thing that is a cooler. Even if I think I will be home, I carry my food you never know when plans change. I use mustard on my chick(low sodium condiment no sugar no fat) the sweet potato fries are like candy cold, I put cinam, allspice, liquid english toffee stevia and bake. For my am meal, I make eggwhite/sweet potato/oatmeal/banana extract/liquid stevia muffins, that way in the am after cardio I can take out of the fridge and eat without waking the house. also do the same for veggies, cook and measure out. I competited for the first time 2 weeks ago, doing another show in 1 week. You can plan out your meals even if you cant cook or reheat............DEDICATION--Hope this helps

i have great admiration for people this dedicated and organised to prepare meals in advance cus i can't do ti for shit lol

woUAHHH I'm impressed!! I'm pretty busy too and I end up with a sandwich from take out if I'm lucky!!
I guess I'll purchase a cooler as well! Is it just a coolerbag or you mean the hard thing you take out to the beach or something???
Sorry for asking so much but I'm quite "novice" in eating right AND planning!

AND I'm a recovering vegetarian = just starting eating chicken a few adys ago!!

I put mine in foil and put it on my engine as I'm driving, not really but thats a viable option, hell just get an inverter for your car and plug an easy bake oven into it and heat your stuff there.

You can get a thermos that plugs into a cigarette lighter outlet in your car, just make a shredded chicken/veggie/brown rice jambalaya and heat it in the thermos!

HOW do you manage to eat in the day?? Do you eat everything cold?? From a box or a cooler??
We don't have a microwave where I work ! Only a waterboiler!!
I need some tips to be able to eat the right stuff while away from my kitchen!!

Easiest answer would be to buy a small cool box/bag, and to take food which doesnt require cookin. Sandwich/ salads/ cold potatoes/chicken etc.

kisawa1--I found a "tote" bag cooler that is insulated and just put those frozen block things in there......found online, easier than a hard cooler. I carry it while shopping whatever.....noone even knows its a cooler! Works great.

I keep whole grain oats at the closet at work. I also take some fruit with me. I'm not really on a particular diet though - just trying to eat healthy for now. I'm thinking about going on a cutting diet soon though.

I have a cooler heater box (I forget what's it called) that I keep in my van.
Paid only 34.00 at CVS.

Stilln not found a heater device for in my car!! I'm glad it's summer time and right now it's too hot to eat hot stuff!
Still searching though! Maybe I should go to a camping shop!! I found a cooler bag for 3.50€ which is great!! and big!!
This board is amazing: So much great stuff!

What country are you from? If you don't mind me asking.

Begium!!

ck out cooltote.com thats where i got mine from--works great! Big, and has 2 pockets inside,which I put the cold paks in (thermal tote)
