Construction Worker

[Dino3 7]

Hello I'm a Construction worker I'm banded need help on some cold meals for lunch

[fericito 138]

My hubby isn't banded but he's construction too and trying to eat what I do. Some depends on what you're willing to eat. He'll have cold things that I wouldn't so like tomorrow he's having left over bbq pork and mashed potatoes. But we do a lot of cold cuts, boiled eggs, raw veggies w/ maybe some dip, sometimes I'll make omlettes that he'll take and eat cold, or quesadillas (if I chew really slow I can get the tortilla down, I've started making homemade ones with almond meal instead of wheat). Hope that helps with a few ideas? What about pieces of a rotissire (sp?) chicken or chicken salad or coleslaw or something?

It might not be anything like you want to eat but maybe it helps? If you come up with some great ideas, I'd love them for me and my dh . Being a construction worker out in the heat and elements is hard - I applaud your efforts!

My favorite lunch; I mix tuna and olive oil mayo along with sweet potato crackers of which I dip into the tuna and a cottage cheese chaser in single serve container. I pack them with 2 freezer packs and 2 waters one frozen. Filling and high in Protein with a total caloric intake of 380 and 34 grams of Protein. (sweet potato crackers I bought however I may try to make them found a recipe on line.) Good luck on your journey!

Things like chicken salad or tuna with maybe some low sodium crackers (if you can get them down) might be good! cheese is great too! So maybe like string cheese or whatever you like best! My mom (who is banded) also eats Greek yogurt with peanut flour in it for lunch and it's keeps her full for a while. Some hummus with pita chips might work well for you too! Maybe a smoothie or something too! This was kind of all over the place but I'm just trying to think of a little bit of a variety! Hope this helps!

Could you share your recipe for almond flour tortillas?

Thanks!

Have you tried the protien bars? They are great, and more filling then the shakes.

I think any cold cuts, if you have bread, make sure it is wheat, and maybe the thin diet. Just need bread to hold sandwich together ...

best of luck!!!
