Eating clean while driving over the road?

If you eat the truck stop food, you can't over indulge. You only eat enough to take the hunger pain away. If you eat too much, your energy will dip. I have a plant based. Lpw sodium diet now. The meat I use is mainly chicken but in lower doses than in the past. I have fresh veggies in my fridge, and I also have other veggies in cans....spinach, beans of different kinds, corn, green beans, etc. All of those you can heat up in the microwave. The more fiber you eat, the better your energy will be. I've become a better driver since making this switch, that's not to say that I don't have cheat days here and there, but mostly veggies, chicken, tuna ot peanut butter sandwiches makes up my diet

 

I use a cuisimax hotplate off a 1500 watt inverter with a 7 inch pan and lid. This brand is non magnetic and does not produce radiation so you can use induction or non induction cookware. Behind my passenger seat I use a 12 volt water pump that is 100 watts off the power supply "cigg lighter and pull water from a 5 gallon water reservoir under my sleeper bunk. I open the passenger window and set it up on a foldable table then after cooling the pan use antibacterial soap and spray it out with the pump sprayer. You can transfer hot water from a 2 gallon wine warmer or pull directly from it but dont get the water too hot. Maybe this could help other drivers. God Bless. ZBRA.

 

My wife, cooks meals and put some in Ziploc bags And off into the freezer they go. When I want to eat them I just put them in a microwave. in the fridge, everything from cheese for crackers, yogurts, hummus, sandwich wraps, what ever your heart desires. I got a 700 W toaster so I can toast up some English muffins or bagels, throw some ham and cheese and make some breakfast sandwiches. I keep a supply of canned veggies, nuts, microwavable, rice, microwavable noodles, microwavable tortellini from Aldi, precooked bacon, and other things once I go through my frozen fresh section. I usually have enough food to eat like a king for about 10 days. I’ll hit up a Dollar General somewhere pick up some more items and that usually holds me over for about five more days and I’ll be home by then. The key is having fridge freezer, microwave, roster, water pot, etc. I clean all my dishes with wet wipes.
I live a life of luxury out on the road compared to how I did in Helmand.

 

I remember you Jbrown, have you been keeping yourself in line with life ?

 

Jbrown, you have a lot of drivers here, that have been supporting you with your NEW life driving a TRUCK. And we will continue to support you.

 

All of these choices have INSANE amounts of sodium and preservatives. If you keep eating like this, when you die from heart failure at least you can save on the cost of having your body embalmed.....

 

I didn't have that picture in my post and you put it in there. The rest of my post was about cooking and prepping food. Way to be selective and misleading. Plus, If your in ketosis you dump/use electrolytes more quickly and need sodium and potassium to avoid cramps.

 

i am thinking of getting a microwave a crock pot a ninja speedi an induction hot plate and 2 pans. i was thinking of a coleman stove and cook on the cat walk but don't wanna burn the place down

 

but like others have said go onto youtube there's all kinds of ways to cook in the truck if you have a strong enough inverter!!! search out cooking in a semi truck

 

Get to know Wal-Marts along your route. I eat fish and veggies at least 2x a week and only takes about 7 minutes to cook from the freezer. There are also alot of guys who carry an electric skillet, or other quick cooking implements. I'm only out 3-5 nights at a time and the additional cleanup time isn't something I'm willing to deal with when I can get relatively healthy nukameals.
