I work at a place that has a broken fridge, and im not 100 percent on the microwave situation. What sort of snacks would you guys recommend bringing to a job that ill spend most of the day at? I usually bring a chicken/turkey breast sandiwch on whole wheat bread, and a yogurt for lunch. I really think though i should eat one more meal, even if its small, do you guys know of anything that i can get relatively cheaply that doesnt require the use of a fridge or a microwave?
 
Yeah sucks to not have a fridge. Beef jerky is always a good option. Of course some whey powder. Protein bars are ok. Those are just a few things that I can think of. Bring you a small cooler with ice and then you ought to be set.
 
Isnt beef jerky salty and fatty compared to other protein sources?
 
Beef Jerky is a fantastic alternate to a chicken breast or something on those lines. They are very low in fat, of course not a slim jim. But like a Jack Links jerky. Yes they do have a high sodium count however.
 
Thanks to your suggestion i made an impulsive trip to 7-11, best beef jerky i could find was "Jim bean beef jerky" which had 120 calories, 30 MG cholesterol(9 percent daily) 1000 MG sodium(42 percent!), 2 G fat, 20 grams protein. I guess its not bad since i dont eat a lot of salt outside of this, but 120 calories isnt that much.
 
Cook Brown rice about 1 cup or 2 it would fill you up good

Peanut butter and wheat bread

Protein Bar

Briwb rice for a meal?? Just to be :filled up:??

Jesus! Empty carb land.

Next... Lets see, fat and more quick carbs.

And then..the standby (what I use as a last resort, due to the crap they often make these bars with, for fats and "no carb" carbs).

------------------------------------------------

They make freezer cold packs for lunch pails. Walmart carried them and so do most large home goods retailers, as well as grocery stores. I buy ice cube trays, producing long thin cylinders of ice that fit nicely into protein shakers. I make up my shakes at home, making sure I don;t fill it more than 3/4ths, and throw in one of these cubes. Keeps the drink pretty cold for a couple of hours because of the density of the protein drink. I bought a wide mouthed 32 oz water bottle (Nalgene), with a screw cap top. I also found an insulated cover for it. Voila, cold shake, about 1.4 meals worth. Into my shake goes whey, skim milk and water, various evil tasting herbs, a little psyllium or flax, ground up, rice or oat bran and a tablespoon of EVO.

The foil packed salmon, tuna, cod, and halibut are very good - you can get them in a variety of flavors. I cook up a quick batch of chicken breasts the day before and have two. I slice up veggies that morning, takes me all of 5 or 8 minutes to slice up cucs, tomatoes, couple large mushrooms, celery, half a pepper. I buy tinned turkey on occasion (not too bad a taste), I open it drain it, and throw in a little flavored mustards, put it in a baggie. I add a handful of dry roasted seeds or a few nuts. I buy washed salads, rerinse it, spin dry it (in a cool spin dryer for this purpose), throw in a couple of vinagrette packs. Napkins, forks, and there ya go, 3 meals worth. Low carb, moderate fat and very decent proteins. Sometimes I make up tuna salad or eggs salads as well (sans bread, I use low carb high fiber pita pockets.

My bad. I came off sounding harsh. This is what friends of mine feed their kid (every day, he gets either a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat or spanish rice and a smidgeon of chicken plus an energy bar). The kid is overweight and depressed. He does have moderate exercise, but he stays up late and often skips breakfast because he sleeps in. His mother is deaf to the notion of low carbing, firmly believing the media hype that its dangerous.

I apologize for my abrupt comments.
