Lunches while at work- How important to get it right?

[Will Heal]

Today I ate a steak pasty for breakfast and two cans of choc milkshake for lunch.

I can't stand those 2 hour 5 course lunches in restaurants, I'm never that hungry and I'd rather have a short break, finish the job and go home.

(Like today, home in time for the cycling)

 

 

Agreed, you don't wanna be at work longer than you need to be.

Morning break, banana & cuppa. Lunch a sandwich, apples. If I'm hungry another banana. Another cuppa. Water throughout the day. It's as simple as you want. need energy = eat. Thirsty = drink. That doesn't mean stop when ever you want but in the woods have some nibbles/fluids with you at all times. Especially if it's hot/cold/wet you need it.

porridge and a coffee or 2 for breakfast evey day.

Todays box had 4 slices of bread with ham, pickle and lettuce. A Cornish pasty, a banana, a apple, bag of crisps, a chocolate bar and a slice of cake (home made and one for all the lads - this keeps our team motivated when provided with tea or coffee, they bring flask of hot water and we provide the brew kit and slice of cake)

 

That's my standard pack up along with my flask and a couple of litres of tap juice oh and I always leave home with a tea in the thermos cup.

 

I reckon man is only a machine, machines need fuel you got to eat and drink well or your not going to preform

I've found over the years that any breakfast other than bacon and eggs, result in me being nauseous by 9.30 am with hunger.

 

On bacon and eggs breakfast,I wouldn't feel hungry till late afternoon.

 

Lovely jacket potatoes shop in Coventry, however try getting out the van let alone up a tree after that for lunch. Potatoes, bread, pasta. Been off my radar for three years now.

 

And I prefer the consistency of my stools with salad. Goes through me like a porsche, and looks pretty and fluffy in the woodchip pile on the van. Blends in better with the pitch fork too.

Lovely!

 

Only problem with bacon is that an hour later I have serious drymouth. Other than that it's practically a superfood!

Two words. PORK PIE. Nuff said.

[jaime bray]

Yeah, bacon ruins the water supply.

Tea, Coffee, and Milled Linseed with Juice for breakfast. Linseed sorts out any potential reflux for the day. Maybe biscuits with the tea.

 

I find it doesn't matter what I eat for lunch provided I give it a minimum of half an hour to go down. Generally its whatever's leftover from last nights supper in a locking camping pot, supplemented with field rations of tinned fish, organic baked beans (cold from the can) tinned chickpeas, salt and pepper,

 

And at least two litters of water, four on a hot day, with packets of electrolyte salts.

 

And a liter of goats milk on the drive home....

 

No tea, except of very cold days maybe.
