I like to make various chicken, cheese, and tortilla wraps and other things

I'd really love a reddit page for trucker cooking. Each post would have to include what equipment was used along with the recipe. Bonus if it includes a picture. Even if meals are cooked at home, frozen and reheated later.

I just eat quinoa with tuna and these veggie packs very filling very easy. I skip breakfast most the time and for lunch i get some hard boiled eggs , greek yogurt , and some kinda tuna fish sandwich or some other sandwich. I walk a mile at the end of my shift everyday. And do a small work out in the mourning everyday, its kept me lean for 3 yrs now only weigh 10 pounds more than when i started trucking.

Man that looks good, I wpuld like to cook more, how do you motivate yourself to cook when you're done working. I can't motivate myself to do shit when I'm done working.

Meal prep and cook when you're not working and heat up left overs when you are.

I been doing tuna with beans and rice myself

That's solid combo right there! I do similar thing but with lentils instead of beans sometimes - they cook faster when you're in hurry and still give you that protein hit. Been experimenting with adding some canned salmon to rice bowls lately too, gives it more flavor than plain tuna and the omega-3s help with staying alert during long drives. Only problem is finding decent canned fish at truck stops, most places only have the basic stuff that tastes like cardboard

You could try pressure cooking, it's fast for beans!

Yeah man, instant pot is gold. Can make a whole roast with vegetables and everything in like 2 hrs. I’d just grab shit at Walmart half way through my day and toss it all in with 2-3 hours left to drive.

You can make thanksgiving feasts everyday with that fckr.

Otherwise I’d just do rice and veggies in the microwave and grab a rotisserie chicken.

I did this all the time. I ate healthier in the truck than I do at my local job.

No vegetables, no mayo, no hot sauce, no dairy and no tomato sauce until my day off

Usually make a big ass fajita chicken pasta bake on my home time. Enough to cover lunch breaks for the 7 days im on. Rough macros is like 45g of protein(little over 50g if I decide to spend extra for the protein pasta), 12g of fat, 25g carbs and around 450-500 calories. Its nice and creamy, can mix low fat Greek yogurt and low fat cream cheese with some fire roasted crushed tomatoes as the "sauce" to keep it from being dry.

Either hard boiled eggs or pilot spicy wings.

Protein shake with chia seeds for fiber. A protein and several vegetables for dinner.

After all these years on the road, I've developed several physical and mental health issues. So I decided to go on a diet. It's a pretty simple diet really, just a handful of rat poison a day.... It's been working okay, but I haven't gotten the results I've been looking for yet though.

Salad. Chicken or Beef chuck with slow cooker. I'm mostly prepping at home and freezing. Mostly mediterrenian dishes.
